Robbers Cave State Park a/k/a the Day We Pretended to Be Outdoorsy

I hope everyone is surviving the return from Spring Break.  I enjoy Spring Break even though I generally work through it.  There is just something about Mike and the kids being home and getting to run around and have a good time that makes me happy.

Survivor: The Elevator Edition

Last night as I left work, a nice little power surge left me stuck in the elevator for a few minutes.  Fortunately, one of my law partners, Scott, was stuck with me, so there was very little freak-out factor.  Scott is very resourceful and I assumed that if it came down to it, he could fashion some sort of device to free us using his shoelace, a ceiling tile and my iPad charger.

Nicky (look up high)
one day before his "incident"

I have really debated whether to write about our latest family "adventure", because it's really pretty horrible, but it's also miraculous.  So miraculous that I've finally come down on the side of sharing.  So here goes.

Did I Mention I'm a Love Guru?

Facebook is like a peephole into your friends' bad decisions.  I constantly see many of my single friends posting about one bad relationship after another.  Many of these ladies have been my friends for more years than I've been alive (considering I am only 23 and I've known them for three decades.  It adds up in my head.  Shut up.)

The Loving Story

The Loving Story is the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple married in 1958, then arrested and banished from their home state of Virginia.

Picks from the Red Carpet

I must say that overall the fashion at the Oscars this year was a big yawn.  What was with all the creams and nudes?  If I ever appear on the red carpet, you can bet I will be in something bright enough to catch your eye and slinky enough to make the papers.

If This is Curvy, What Am I?

Levi's now has a new line of jeans with the tagline "Hotness comes in all shapes and sizes."  The line is called Curve ID and is touted as focusing on shape rather than size.
