I swear there’s more to my life than running but….
I joined a running club. Or it’s more of a “running clinic” which is like a school or class to help you learn to run better. I joined the Women Can Run clinic.
It was fun. We meet two times a week and do a particular exercise. For example, this week it’s run for one minute and walk two minutes for thirty minutes. And then we do an additional “exercise” After so many weeks, we will have a graduation ceremony in Conway. Whee.
I was way out of shape, even for me. This winter messed with my fitness level.
The people were nice. I won the door prize: two free personal training sessions at a gym. This gym had ZUMBA so I’m crazy lady excited about it. Yes indeedee.
We, as criminal defense lawyers, are forced to deal with some of the lowest people on earth, people who have no sense of right and wrong, people who will lie in court to get what they want, people who do not care who gets hurt in the process. It is our job–our sworn duty–as criminal defense lawyers, to protect our clients from those people.

This is Tiny. He went out the day before it snowed and hasnt’ been back since. it’s been about two weeks. We originally assumed that someone felt sorry for him in the snow and let him in their house. We figured that when it got warm again, we would see him.
Well it’s been almost two weeks and he’s still gone. He could still be a “house cat” for some other family who decided he wasn’t going to go outside anymore.
or he could have died out in the cold or got mawled by a wild animal or a dog.

Yes it’s been forever but first, I covet this bedspread in the purple color.
Of course, the minute I publicly state I am going to post every day, I get crazy busy and spend so much work time in front of the computer doing research that I spend my free time running away from the blinking box.
The Little Rock Marathon is about one month away and due to the rain, ice, and my apparent inability to fit running into my new hectic schedule, I am a little behind on this training bit. I am pondering whether to go ahead and do it with lots of walking, which is pretty much what happened last year. I finished in 3:22:24 . yeah that’s pretty slow. It’s almost walking. I’ve already paid for it so it’s just a matter of how much slowing down I am going to do.
As you can tell in my little blurb, I was tranfixed by the Conan O’Brien/Jay Leno/NBC/Tonight Show debacle. It was a complete trainwreck. The root of this was NBC trying to be cheap and greedy. But isn’t this an inspiring speech?
Look I went to the LRTweetup and got my picture in the paper. I also haven’t talked to Gray Turner in over ten years. Maybe more. Crap.
My 15 year college reunion is coming up. The day I get my invitation in the mail, I go to sleep and have a really freaky dream involving the Ex from Hades, Stoned Opie, and Tom. It’s going to be a long couple of months if I keep having those dreams.
I have had some wonderful lawyer type things happen to me lately but work on this blog is like Fight Club. Nobody talks about fight club… or my job on this blog.
You know the minute I publically promise to post on this blog every day and I get a life: a busy life away from the computer. I will confess that I do keep up with twitter and facebook via my BlackBerry but past that, I haven’t been online that much outside of work. I have managed to get more disciplined about surfing on the job so that’s a plus.
