A Day In The Life...Of Me!

I got this idea from Melissa and I decided to use Saturday since I seriously doubt you would want a play-by-play of me summarizing depositions and preparing medical chronologies, which is what a typical day at work would be like.  Although there's a good chance you could care less what we do on a Saturday!

• 7:11 a.m.  Woke up to a heavy rain.  The first thing I thought about was the fact that the American Cancer Society Relay for Life was from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. last night - hope everyone got out before the rain started!
• 7:22 a.m.  Reading my favorite blogs.  Realized that several blogs that I read regularly I found using the "Next Blog" button.
• 7:45 a.m.  Finishing up the first entry in my "Day in the Life" post.
• 8:40 to 11:40 a.m.  The busiest part of any of our Saturdays.  We've all showered and head out to Panera Bread for coffee and whatever pastry tempts us.  Then it's off to Walmart for our weekly shopping trip or as I like to call it "paying for a migraine".  Today after the groceries were put away and the garbage gathered and taken out we worked on cleaning Kyle's playroom.  Whew.  That child uses more paper, tape, crayons and pencils than anyone I know. Managing all that artwork is difficult.  Some of it is so good I really don't want to throw it away and other pieces are just scribbles.  Plus then there are the assorted prizes he gets for good behavior at school - also known as crap!
• 12:15  Another paralegal that I know, Jennifer, is trying to get out of the paralegal industry (what is she thinking?!?!?) and about a year and a half ago she started a business on the side called Fairytale Adventures  It's doing so well that she was able to open her own location outside her home and held an open house today, so we went to check it out.
• 12:45  Ever heard of Captain Underpants?  Kyle loves these books so we stopped at Barnes & Noble so he could get the latest collection.  The guy certainly know what boys want to read about...boogers, toilets, wedgies, and super heros.
• 1:11  Lunch at Chili's.
• 2:21 Updating Blog.  Thinking about a nap - slept lousy last night.
• 5:48 No nap.  Watched a bit of television then we all watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  Getting ready for Indiana Jones IV!  Kyle played in the kitchen sink with various bowls and toys, I took a video that I'll post at a later time.  Hmm...I'm beginning to think our Saturdays run to the boring side!
• 6:00 Kyle and I went for a walk.  We had planned to go a lot farther, but the sky looked like it might open up at any minute and there was a lot of thunder.  Interestingly, it never did rain.
• 7:10 The good thing about going to lunch on Saturday is nobody is hungry for dinner on Saturday night, so no cooking!  
• 8:15 Got Kyle put to bed and started watching Sweeny Todd.  
• 10:10 Sweeny Todd was great - Johnny Depp is a surprisingly good singer.  Obviously not a feel-good movie, but Tim Burton's crazy mind never ceases to amaze me.  Off to bed!

So there you have it - a day in my life.  And really, my Saturdays don't vary a whole lot.  I used to think the whole world was doing something far more interesting that us, but really I think our days are pretty much alike.
