Finals

Finals feel like drowning. 

Except it's cold and snowy and terrible.

FOOD is KING

Except I am. Nothing makes me happier than cooking and cleaning. Last night I used leftover roasted rosemary sweet potatoes, I roasted black beans I seasoned. I made a spicy cheesy yogurt sauce. And we had Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos!!!!!

 Making that dinner made me happier than getting some work documents completed and approved at work and getting my class reading done - and actually understanding it because I'd had a good amount of caffeine and was unnaturally focused.

Though I have 3 good classes today learning fun and interesting things. and I'm gonna go on a good jog... I can't wait to eat the dinner I put in the crock pot --- Marmalade Pork & Butternut Squash.

It's Been A While Man Life's So Rad

I worked for free all summer for the State of Texas. I'm not so sure I want to be a lawyer....

• Texas Attorney General's Office, Office of the Solicitor General. I worked on the appeal of a murderer. He lost is appeal - the brief I contributed to won!
• Government Attorneys really do work better hours
• Texas Supreme Court, Justice Debrah Lehrman. My work was awful but the people were great.

I went to NYC twice. Saw no Broadway shows....

• But I had Levain Bakery Cookies for the first and second, and definitely not the last time.
• I walked the Highline
• I was with my love/lover

I got engaged. Nothing negative to say about it.....

• We'd hiked the 360 bridge in May so ADW took me back to the other side.
• I knew it was coming. 
• We ate Pappasito's that night too.
• I wish I'd done my hair that day... but I was feeling lazy.

I'm learning there are other kinds of law I like and I enjoy my classes more. I got a job doing transactional law and I'm always so tired between class & work....

• Debtors & Creditors is my favorite class - what???
• Wills & Estates is the nicest Professor that ever existed.
• I'm in a class with my love/lover/fiance/husband

I got married!!! I loved my dress!!! I loved the food!!! I loved that my friends were there!!! I wish more of my friends could have been there...

• Houston Texas Temple
• Grandpa W sealed us
• Honeymoon in Galveston

Necessary Evils #5 (probably)

Pulling a jacket or sweater over your rolled up sleeves of your button up shirt.

So cute, so stylish, so evil.

Legislation & Regulation

and in other news

I spent the whole entire class today deciding if I should re-dye my hair blonde.

I love with blonde in braids:


I like it when I actually do it.
But I hate it when I let it air dry.
