Playing hookey, part deux

What are the odds that I would be called for jury duty twice in one year?!? The last time I was called was to the municipal court which apparently doesn't make you exempt from being summoned from the county court. So I went for my service, which consisted of sitting in the jury assembly hall from 8-11AM until they let us go. Sometimes I almost wish my number would be picked so I could see how the process actually works, but I also don't mind having the rest of the afternoon off!

This is what I wore.all items remix'd except belt
top+tank: Old Navy
pants+belt: Gap
shoes: Also
shades: Dsquared
bag: Tory Burch (I have had this tote for 2-3 years and have used it a lot, but this is its first appearance in a remix photo!)

I started the day off right with a healthy and delicious breakfast prepared by my own personal chef, a.k.a. the hubs. Don't you love the heart shaped eggs?

While I was waiting for the bus to take me home (the hubs was unavailable to chauffer me back although he was kind enough to drop me off!), I took some snaps of downtown. We used to hang out here a lot back in the day (probably almost 10 years ago!) but don't anymore. The light rail construction kind of put a damper on the businesses down here and by the time it was completed everyone found someplace else to go!

Three posts in one day

I just spent three hours at the jury room only to be told to go home. While I am glad I didn't get picked to serve on a trial that could go on for an infinite amount of time, I was a little disappointed as well. But I'm glad I had the day off - I really needed some down time to just hang out at home and scrap and not be hung over!
There is so much inspiration out there these days. I love it!
But all good things must come to an end and I must clean up my mess before my baby returns home.

Doing my civic duty

I have a jury summons for this afternoon. While it is a little of a pain, I do get to miss work for a day (and hopefully only a day) and participate in our legal system. While I think being on a jury would be interesting, we have too much going on at work for me to miss more than a day. So we'll see!

In other news, I am finally recovered from my drunkeness this weekend. Marc, Darah, Richard and I met up with Amy and Co at a newish bar called Etro, located right behind Sliders. They played cool 80's music all night (Hold Back the Rain (Duran2), Have in Mind (Cetu Javu) were two of my favorites) and we had many drinks and a couple of redheaded slut shots (Jaeger and red bull). Those shots are what did me in. And not drinking very much over the past few months. I yakked outside of Marc's car (while sitting in the front seat - at least I didn't yak in the car!) and I also yakked when I got home, but that definitely helped my feel better-ish the next day.

I also got some happy mail yesterday! My Poppy Ink Kit and add-on, Cafe Prima flowers and the June CK. Fun fun fun!
