The Excited Witness

So today, we didn’t have our lunch meeting..Woo! Hoo! The two attorneys that usually meet with us are in mediation and legislative meetings. Luckily… none of the other attorneys had new shark stories that needed discussing. Hehe.

AND…I have more great news......I’m getting a new phone!!! I can’t wait! It should be here today. It’s the new LG Env2 from Verizon. I’m way overdue for a new phone. Ohh wow..let me tell ya the story. So, I bought the LG Venus in January and it’s been nothing but problem after problem. In March, it totally malfunctioned and lost network connection. I had to drive to Cheyenne for a replacement phone. I get everything programmed back in my phone, life’s good! (wait…isn’t that the LG slogan?) Weird! Anyway, in July, I plugged my phone in to charge, with confidence that it would be charged and ready for the next day. On my way out the door, upon unplugging my phone, it died. I plugged it back in and it came right on. Basically, the phone wouldn’t stay on…unless it was plugged in. Kind of takes away from the idea that it’s a “mobile” phone. So, I make another trip to Cheyenne and get my phone replaced. Everything’s good again and 3 days..yes…3 days later..my phone broke in two pieces. I call Verizon and they willingly mail me another replacement since I’ve made trip after trip to Cheyenne. Yay…new phone arrived on August 7 and now it just randomly turns off in the middle of conversations and the thing looks like I’ve had it for 2 years. It’s so ugly. WELL I’m finally finally finally getting a new phone…that isn’t a crappy Venus.

And now…the lovely......”Witness Wednesday”

Something I’ve witnessed in the past: The “Alley Cats” (my bowling team when I was in 4th grade) winning 1st place in our league! I still have the trophy to prove it!

Something I’ve witnessed today: My cute little convertible car getting an oil change, oh and that means she’s getting a bath too! Yay for GM Auto!

Something I want to witness in the future: The movie “Speed Racer”, don’t laugh......I really haven’t seen it yet.

The calm (3 months) before the storm

In case you didn’t know by now, I live in Wyoming. As far as tropical storms go, that’s a big NEVER here! BUT I’ve got friends in low places…or sometimes known as Texas, so I’m keeping a watchful eye on “Ike” because honestly….storms of that nature (huge and freaky) scare me! So I’m posting some happier times by the Seawall...... Good luck Texas!

AND once again....what song just popped in your head?

Rainy days and Thursdays always get me down…

Another rainy day in Laramie today and I can say without a doubt in my mind….I’m tired of it. This girl needs some sun! Ok, what are my options? 1. I can go tanning…ahhh…the cocoon of sunny warmth! 2. I can turn up the heat and block all the windows and set up a palm tree, maybe throw in some Luau music. 3. I can go to sleep (I love sleeping) and not wake up till Saturday morning. I guess I’ll just quit whining. Ok done!

BUT there is some silver lining to all this lack of sun in my life…..I’m heading to the sun in 23 days! California here I come! Maybe I’ll throw in a little Disneyland as well. HA! Who am I kidding?!?! I’m going to Disneyland for 2 days!!! Guess who is also coming with me? My favorite little guy, Tyler!!!!

Ok, sidenote....What fabulous singer did my title make you all think of?

Brand Spanking New Witness!

Wow! Is today Friday? Haha…don’t I say that every day? Well, being another fun “Witness Wednesday”, we gathered around the lunch table for discussions about meth addicts, and alcoholics. It makes sense to have a staff meeting about drugs, right? Oh! We did get our standard 5 minutes of office related subjects addressed. I’ll admit the meeting wasn’t too bad today. Wow, that’s two weeks in a row that I’ve said that. First of all, great day because we ordered Mexican food!!!! Our last bookkeeper didn’t like Mexican food…..WHAT??? Crazy, I know! Anyway, so we never ordered it. We always ordered just your typical “American” style food. BUT, we have a new bookkeeper (as I mentioned before) and a new legal assistant, who started Monday and she’s been absolutely fabulous! Both are quick learners and very pleasant! Ok, enough of my boring meeting crap......

AND on to another “Witness Wednesday”

Something I’ve witnessed in the past: Winning first place in a writing contest in High School. I was even featured in the Laramie Boomerang.....I can just see everyone’s jealous faces!

Something I’ve witnessed today: Walking past the men’s room and being assaulted by the most awful smell EVER!!! Don’t do that at work, people!!!!

Something I want to witness in the future: Being debt free....hey I’m allowed to dream, aren’t I?

Ohh how I love the Shoe Fairy!!

Once upon a time a beautiful young girl (that’s me…Kristi) lived happily in a cute little town called Laramie. It just so happened that she loved and owned as many shoes as much as any fashionably hip New Yorker. In fact there were days that she felt she could bring on some pretty tough competition in the footwear department. One lovely September day, the shoe fairy (Kristi’s debit card) bought a new pair of super cute Mary Jane Terrain style shoes. Ohh the anticipation for their arrival! She waited on her front porch (or technically at her desk, since she works a full time job) for the postman to deliver her latest addition to a growing collection. Once these cuties arrive…she’ll place them on her dainty feet…for all the world to see.

Here’s a peek!

Happily Witnessing

What’s today? Is it Tuesday? It sure feels like it, but no…we’ve landed right in the middle of another glorious Witness Wednesday!

I’ve been busy training our new bookkeeper! I love that I can tell him how to do something, and then leave him to do it! Woohoo!! I’m books and billing free!!! I love being at my cute new desk working on my cute legal assistant stuff. Ok, it’s not “cute”, but it seems so loving and cute compared to the monster that is bookkeeping! Wow…I’m surprisingly in a good mood for a Wednesday…hmmm….. Do I smell change in the air?

AND…to not waste anymore time…..

The 3rd Witness Wednesday…TA-DA!!!

Something I’ve witnessed in the past: Discovering my car is dead..and I mean dead at WalMart…and it’s 11:30 at night!! What a horrible night!

Something I’ve witnessed today: Our new bookkeeper picking up on things super fast!! Oh I love it!

Something I want to witness in the future: more Prison Break…the 2 hour premiere on Monday night was sooooo awesome!!! I can’t wait for more!!!

P.S. The Cowboys won last Saturday!
