Now that December is here........




Now that December is here, I will update everyone on the events of October. The following two photos are from River's Costume/Birthday Party and Halloween. The little one was Thomas the Train on Halloween. We went trick-or-treating with some friends and then we had a little Halloween Party. The Thomas costume lasted about 5 minutes.

Blogging in a crazy world

videoIts been a long time since I blogged. Too much going on for one yoginilawyermommy to handle. Business has been booming lately, the criminal world is keeping me busy. Which is good. But right now it is bad because my trial assistant has cancer so I am having to do things on my own. I never knew how much she actually did until I had to do without her. She is a fighter and I am sure she will be back full swing by March of next year.

I have also had to tone down my yoga practice lately because I have hurt my back, again. I am going back to physical therapy soon. I hope to avoid the knife this time and also any fusion, cages, metal bars or screws.

I have so many wonderful events I haven't covered on my blog. So if I can get get through this week and the Judge doesn't put me in jail on Friday, I will catch up this weekend. Stay tuned for more and keep the bail money ready for me. Just in case.

Coffee - my only vice


As I sit here with a headache, I fear that I have gotten myself addicted to caffeine again. For those of you who don't know, and maybe don't care, I gave up caffeine several years ago. Because, caffeine is not good for you. It makes you retain excess weight. It peps your nervous system up, needlessly. We have a lawyer in our office who drinks energy drinks all day -- Red Bull, Monster, 5 Hour Energy. He acts just like the energizer bunny. I don't know how he affords to drink those or why his heart doesn't explode. This is the same person who brings me Starbuck's Espresso Double Shots -- and he knows that I am trying to live a decaffeinated life. Back to topic, so I gave it up and was only having caffeinated drinks once every blue moon. I turned to decaf coffee. Over the last year with all my stomach problems, I got out of the habit of decaf too and went straight to herbal tea. When I complained to my doctor she said it was o.k. for me to drink coffee with caffeine if I drank the low acidity kind (also know as $10.00+ per lb coffee) in moderation. Well, I drank caffeinated coffee last week and switched back this week. Right now my head is about to pop. So either I am addicted to caffeine again or I have a brain tumor. Gotta run, WebMD awaits me!!

Sunday Get-a-away


We woke up Sunday and decided to go hiking. So we loaded up the car and headed to Blanchard Springs.


The hike comes to close as daddy carries the boy out of the woods.










Issac is baffled by the "Ole-timey" phone.

Long time coming

Terry and I took a short trip to Florida a couple of weeks ago so I could attend the first class at FISHTREE. We also spent time shopping and on the beach. Below you will find a great sign advertising a bakery and caterie.
I could not resist taking a picture of this sign because Forrest Gump is probably one of my all time favorite movies. For those of you who don't know, Bayou La Batre was the place Bubba was raised.

Me on the beach. We stated in Navarre, Florida. It was beautiful. But the water was infested with jellyfish and pieces of jellyfish. Not just the little clear jellyfish but great big ones with red 4 leaf cloverleaf designs in the center. Lots and lots of them. We couldn't get in the water. Terry and Bryan are back there this week and they say the jellyfish are all gone.

Finally, the whole purpose of going to Florida. The first class at FishTree Yoga. Here we are below. I only wish I could have gotten Jan, our teacher, to be in the photo. The studio is not finished yet but it was an awesome class. The heating system wasn't installed in the studio yet so we didn't have a "hot" yoga class. However, the windows were open and a breeze was blowing through the building and I could hear the birds outside. It was very, very nice. I recommend Jan to anyone who is visiting in Pensacola. Jan is an awesome teacher!


It has been a very long time since I have been able to write. After Mike published his book, I made a plan to start blogging in a serious manner. But life interfered. Over the past few weeks I have been very busy. First, I have been forced to adjust my diet to rid myself of gluten. Since I have done so I have felt so much better. Second, my oldest boy had a seizure and we have been very concerned. Third, everyone in my office is sick. We recently have been taken over by the swine flu. My investigator had back surgery. But by far the worst thing is my secretary and very good friend, who is younger than me, has cancer. It has really forced me to put my life in perspective.
Well, off to the jail to visit some clients! Have a glorious day!!
