Beautiful weekend

The weather in Chicago was beautiful this weekend, so Elle Woods and I spent a lot of time at the dog beach.
(where people were picnicking and gave my dog potato chips, but let's just be grateful that I didn't end up and jail and move on to pretty pictures instead of dwelling on my rage instead, k?)

Also - my sweet friend Elizabeth sent me a dozen beautiful roses last week as a "sorry you failed the bar exam but I still love you" gesture.  I have taken a gazillion pics of them because now that they're fully bloomed they are beeeyooootiful. And because I'm kind of obsessed with the hipstamatic app on my iphone.













So, the theme of the week around here is going to be remembering to be grateful for the small things, even when in general things are kinda shitty. So this week I am grateful for my sweet dog who loves me lots even though she can be a giant pain in the ass at times, and for good friends who care about me.
And of course I'm grateful for blog readers who care enough to send me e-mails and read what I have to write about. Thanks guys!

  2. I'm so sorry that you didn't pass. Don't give up, and take that bad boy again! And Elle is beautiful, I might have tried to sneak her a chip myself, just so she'd let me pet her!

    You can do it!

  5. I'm so glad you had a wonderful weekend. I can only imagine how badly you needed it. I've been meaning to find the time to send you some happy thoughts. 2nd time will be the charm - I'm hopeful for you!

    I hate when people feed my dog food. I usually tell them not to because she's been known to take bite fingers. Sometimes works!
