In just about an hour, I will be leaving for the airport to go to Nauvoo! I'm so antsy I can't even focus. I came to work so I could get a lot of things done today, and I'm getting them done, but I swear the clocks aren't working because I stay away from them for an hour, and when I look, only four minutes have gone by. TELL ME HOW THAT HAPPENS! :) This has been an insane week...I had jury duty for three days, and the case was so sad and so terrible. It made me sad to sit there and have to listen to these terrible things and then have to make a decision that will change someone's life forever. Clearly, their actions are not my fault; so they brought the consequences upon themselves, but...I still feel marginally responsible. I did learn a lot, though. I was surprised at how almost...unprepared...the attorneys were. It was a little unsettling, actually. Maybe I've just watched a little too much CSI/Law & Order, but...no, this was almost appalling. And it was so hard to tell who was telling the truth and who was lying; who had no idea what was going on, and who was deliberately twisting reality for the sake of saving someone they loved. Seriously people! Can we all just choose the right for crying out loud?! I'd rather not write any specifics about the case...I could, I suppose...but I'd sort of like to pretend I don't know about it anymore. I pounded every detail into my brain when it was necessary, but now? Now I'd like to go on as if I know nothing about it. *sigh* Yet ANOTHER reason I'm so glad to be going to Nauvoo!! This has been an insanely busy summer, and then the trial these last few days...I'm unbelievably ready for a break!!!

Focus, focus, focus...

You're flying to Nauvoo?! I'm terribly jealous of you. I want to hear all about the changes in the shows. It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since we came back!
Sorry about the jury duty. I haven't had to do that yet, so I'm still going through my sheltered days, unaware of a lot of the terrible things going on around me. It's hard.
#1- I want to go back to Nauvoo. Badddddddlllllllyyyyyy. I miss it so freakin much! Oh, and I want some of that fudge from the fudge shop. Mmmm... No, not the chocolate kind. :) I'm so moving there someday.
#2- I can't believe you had jury duty! You're so old. :)
I sometimes forget that "Jury Duty" exists ... but when I remember it, I fear it. But I've heard (this may make me sound horrible) that you can kinda get your way out of it ... Did you try? :)
YEY! You're in Nauvoo! :)
