I spend most of my day trying to make people's lives more comfortable and/or manageable through their transition into another lifestyle. I am a legal assisant to an attorney whose areas of expertise are in personal injury, criminial law and family law. Family law is what brings in the overhead. When I say family law, I mean divorces, child custody, child support and all the modifications that come with that. I can honestly say that what we do here makes a difference. But what we cannot offer are miracles. Even though the attorney makes it look like they are his special miracles for his clients.

I sometimes wish that people would walk in our shoes for a brief moment and understand that even though we might seem a bit "nonchalant" but we always care. People tend to feed off others energy so we keep calm, level headed and we keep our eyes on the ultimate picture... To get you what you deserve. Mind you, not what you think you deserve. What you might think is fair may not be what the judge orders or what is legal.

With all that being said, I want everyone that happens to come across my blog post to know that even though we may not shed tears for you, please know that when we go home at night we are thinking and sometimes worried for you. We are not robots. We just keep that strong armor on so you can make it to the end with us. ♥

My Triumph...

I enjoy going to Target & Kohl's to find shirts for myself. They seem to be the only stores where I can get quality shorts, guaranteed to have my size and at a moderate price. Old Navy is a close 2nd to the aforementioned. I am not going to sugar coat it. I am fat. According to my physician I am obese. My problem is not with food consumption but keeping my body active. I was instructed to do something physical every day for at least 20 minutes. I confess, I do NOT like to work out. I used to but I've gotten so lazy. Now I am paying for it. I am now 28 years old and I have decided that I will treat my body the way it should be treated.

Not only will I continue with my organic body treatment outside but also within. I want to look 20 something when I am late 30 something. I have to start loving me more than I love procrastinating. That is going to be challenge because procrastinating and I have had a long term love affair.

Oh I digress. My triumph is that I can now shop in the ladies section. I mean I understand I am still a bit too big for a lot of the clothing in the ladies section but I do not have to JUST shop in the plus size section. That might sound a bit odd to some people but I have come a long way. I hope to fit into a moderate size by New Year's Eve. I am actually excited.

Woe to Me...

All my life I've been told I am creative.
I could put anything together and make it just so.
I am a perfectionist ... of sorts.
Up until like six (6) months ago I have not done ANYTHING creative.
Slowly but surely I have opened up my mind to all the possiblities.
I've taken back up cooking, baking, journaling and designing my website.
Which is JUKIE-FIED.COM (yeah I plugged myself *laughs*)
Recently I have taken up scrapbooking, beading and cake decortating...
About cake decorating, I used to do it back in high school & I have found the passion again.
Hopefully I can find my way back to pastry school...
Or I succumb to self torture and get my AA to become a paralegal.
NO MORE CUBICAL WORK FOR ME!
I think my creative soul was crushed by the corparate world.
Oh woe to me. *laughs*

I pray that my creativity well does not dry up and I become unable to produce something pretty again.

So far I am very optimistic. Very unusually for me. *laughs*
