Ten on Thursday

Because I forgot to post it on Tuesday. But I wrote it. So you have to read it. Blog law.

1. How do you take your coffee on an average day? How do you like your
coffee if you’re splurging?
Strong. Very strong. And black. My mother in law makes coffee that tastes like
espresso. I always had to add water to it. Now that I have a baby, I
see why: PARENTS NEED STRONG COFFEE. I drink espresso every morning
now. Thank you,boss, for putting my office next to the Executive Break
Room and the fancy coffee machine.If I am splurging, I want a soy
nonfat latte. Or a skinny cinnamon dolce latte. Or a dry nonfat
cappuccino. Mmm...now I want starbucks.

2. What is your genre of books to read?
Umm...er...I don't really read anymore. If I do, it's Christian books.
But really, I don't read much. Unless we’re talking contracts. I read lots and lots of contracts.

3. Where do you want to retire, if you could go anywhere?
I agree with Chelsea on this one: close to family. Although preferably
far away from the cold.

4. The 17-year-old you is told to write a 10-minute speech. What topic
would you have picked?
I was a freshman in college at 17. So probably I'd have picked a topic
about homesickness. Because I was oh so very homesick. Until I met
this handsome boy named John. Then I got over my homesickness REAL
fast.

5. What word describes you best?
Grateful.

6. What is the next “event” that you are looking forward to? (ex.:
vacation, moving, date, job change, etc)
Hmm...that's a good question. I guess the holidays? It means time off,
right? Honestly, I can’t think of any “event” I am really looking forward to. I am sticking with the holidays…it means time off and family will be visiting. Except for my brother and sister-in-law WHO SHOULD BE visiting but won’t be. Why? I’ll tell you why. Remember this blog post? CLICK HERE and read all about my adorable nephew, Liam. or CLICK HERE to see him even cuter! Yeah, Liam is going to be a big brother to the first McCartney granddaughter in November. And so that means no brother and sister-in-law for the holidays. Sad.

But that’s just one more thing to look forward to with the holidays, right? So yeah, that’s my vote.

7. Do you like to discuss controversial topics or do you prefer to
avoid those types of conversations?
Hate it. HATE it. I don’t want to talk about anything that makes me get inner rage. And controversial topics usually do.

8. Would you rather add 4 free hours to each day, or add 1 extra day
to the week?
1 extra day. If I had four hours, I would definitely spend them
working. If there was one additional weekend day though, I'd have an
easier time putting down the blackberry. It's normal to work into all
hours of the night in my job. It's less normal to work on the weekends
so I feel like I can usually get away with not checking emails/doing
work.

9. If you created a sports team; what would your colors and mascot be?
Yellow and black. The bumblebees. I don't know what we'd be but we'd
be the bumblebees and probably get our butts kicked by someone like
the Colt .45s. Because Bullets beat Bees.

10. If you had to be a teacher, what subject would you teach?
Law. Oh how I would love to be a law professor. UCC classes. But all
the students would hate those (except me and Amanda and Meggie) so
maybe I'd want to teach torts. Because everyone likes torts. Or Crim
Law. Basically I'd want to teach the law that I don't practice...my
law practice is too boring. Nobody wants to take UCC or Insurance law. Man, this blog sure makes my life look glamorous, huh? I feel bad for the poor law student who stumbles across it and sees what being a lawyer is all about: lame blog posts and boring contracts. Eh, oh well. Just look forward to that beautiful student debt, little law student! Life is GOOD!
