What a compact summer. Josh and I headed to California just two days after the bar. In those two days, I accomplished...NOTHING. In fact, I did the worst job packing ever and left the house a mess. Still, we made it to our much-needed vacation in one piece and had fun.
My job does not start until Sept. 1st, so I've found some interesting ways to keep myself occupied to avoid anxiety while waiting for the bar results, however I've been home for almost a week and have not accomplished much on the domestic front other than a few loads of laundry and a VERY organized pantry. My kitchen and bathroom floors are still in desparate need of mopping.
I HAVE managed to start myself and my suprisingly willing husband on the South Beach diet. We are doing pretty well and enjoying the food. It is a little time consuming to home-make all the meals to the cookbook specifications and a bit more expensive than our usual carb-loaded diet, but if neither of us develop diabetes or have a heart attack, it will be well worth it.
Much of my time has been devoted to volunteering at the gubernatorial campaign that is taking place here in NM. I am addicted to politics mostly because I know how much influence political leaders have on policies that affect our every day lives, from schools, to roads to the air we breathe, to how much tax we pay on our tortillas. I think everyone should be active in whichever political group they believe in. I for one think fair, sound public policy is much more important than sparkling floors!
