Update

The lawyer's office called on Friday and said I did very well on the stand but the case was lost! The patient will receive nothing. Makes you feel somewhat sad... but the paralegal said it had nothing to do with my testimony. Maybe they say that to all the witnesses!
ANyway- weather here is gorgeous! Thoroughly enjoying the last hoorah of summer!!!
Catch up on Tuesday!!!
Happy LAbor DAY!!

Expert Witness

so I had to testify in court today. Chalk that up on new and exciting things I have done this year. Not entirely sure how I did... the whole thing happened so fast! I am really glad my hands weren't sweating and my tonge didn't get super dry! I was able to talk intelligently but not sure I did so stellar on the cross examination. Oh well- live and learn. Sure does get your adrenaline going!!!

Summer Fun!

I planted a garden this year and have really gotten in to the whole living off the land concept. I have made strawberry and raspberry jam, zucchini bread (by the truck loads, and most recently, pickles! How domestic of me!
Work has been busy. I can't believe it is already September. I know...almost September. Still trying to pack a few "summer" type activities in before it's fall. Although I did go to the Bears preseason game on Thursday. First sign of fall- FOOTBALL!!! And no- I am not switching teams. I am still a loyal Packer fan even without FAVRE.
Killed another giant hornworm in the garden and it had all these white things all over it. Turns out those were some type of wasp larvae that will eventually hatch and kill all the hornworms in the garden. Should have let that one be! Just didn't seem right to leave it though!

Missing all my girls! I need to find a job with more flexibility.

San Diego

I had the chance to fly to San Diego for work last weekend. It was awesome! Burnt my nose pretty bad though. My hotel was right next to Petco field and we watched the Padres play the Giants from the hotel's roof top deck!!
That's me and a doctor from my area. We headed to Coronado island and toured around for an afternoon. THe Hotel Coranado is HUGE and has some rich history. We went through it and sat on the beach for a while. How relaxing! Turns out this is the same vacation that Cari just went on... I didn't put the two together. Silly me!

ANyway- we also had some severe storms when I returned. Evidence of a tornado in a neighboring community. My neighborhood was unscathed. Scary!
