Update

I was reminded today that it has been awhile since I last updated this site. Unfortunately, work has gotten in the way of everything. Summer Associate season is getting ready to be in full swing, which means that I am going to be even busier.

Ed has spent the last week in Ohio fixing the house. The realtor was showing it and found water in the basement. So, Ed took the week off of work and drove off last Sunday. We are hoping to have him back home today. He has been very busy and has gotten quite a bit done.

Justice and I have just been hanging out, taking walks, baking, and watching television. I recently made whole wheat strawberry scones, chicken & dumplings and peanut butter chocolate chip biscotti.

It has been cold the last couple of days, but it is so much better than the 90 degree humidity.

Right to Free Speech

I am going to exercise my right to free speech. If I offend, I am sorry, but I am learning I have to say what is in my heart, or it just eats at me.

So, we buried Osama bin Laden at sea. Why? To respect the traditions of Islam. Are you freaking kidding me???!!! I understand that our country was founded on the premise of freedom of religion. I understand that we should be better than those that condemn us because of our religious beliefs. Unfortunately, my heart can not stand by it. He did nothing but kill and torture and terrorize because of his "beliefs." For that reason, I cannot stand behind our President and his decision to respect bin Laden's beliefs & traditions. It makes me sick that we are so tolerant. We lost thousands of innocent people and service men & women who sacrificed their lives. Yet, we try to be respectful of the one person who was behind all this death.

San Francisco

I had a blast in San Francisco. I took way too many pictures, most of them are on facebook. Here are a few of my favorites:

They went to the game...

And, all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

New Shower Surround Disaster

We had to have the shower surround replaced in our apartment. Before we moved in, they did not replace it, they painted over it. It started flaking off and looking like crap. I wish they would have just left it alone. Instead, we get the below crap. How great is it when the maintenance guy finishes and says "Feel free to tell the office it is a crappy job. I told them I do not like doing shower surrounds. At least you can take a shower this weekend." SERIOUSLY??? I could have done a much better job. Roanoke West Apartments are crap.




Even I know that when you mark something to cut it, you do it on the back where it can't be seen.













REALLY??? Where is the corner piece that was supposed to be replaced?








Not sure if you can see it, but there is a major gap at the corner.










Nice caulk job.









Hey, if the glue does hold, just throw a few screws in there.

Sleepy Boys

Got up to get a drink of water and came back to bed to find these guys sound asleep. Kind of look alike, eh?

8 Years

Hard to believe it has been 8 years since we said "I do." It has been a lot of hard work, but so worth it. I think we are just glad to finally be living in the same city. Tonight, we went to Plaza III Steakhouse. It is a place we would probably never eat at without a special occasion, and a Groupon. So, we celebrated our life together with some great food.

Seafood Bisque
Ed's Porterhouse Steak

Stacy's Kansas City Strip

Stacy's Fresh Berries in a crème anglaise. Ed got the Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Mousse. He ate it too fast to get a picture of it.
