Well, since I do have a "Things that annoy me" series going, it seems only right that I also create a "Things I think are cool" one. After all, every good unfortunately needs a fortunately. So...
I have been thinking about this all weekend, and I just have to say it. I think my lawyer sister is very very cool. She's like a superhero, protecting innocent victims, going after the bad guys and seeing that justice is done. I watch Boston Legal and Shark and the occasional Law and Order episode (which are all totally realistic representations of a lawyer's life, right Steph?), and I have to say, I love lawyers. Sure, there are your occasional bad seeds, but you get that in every profession. Even cops. And engineers (not you of course, honey!!!), which is the number one most trusted profession in the United States (according to polls, anyway). But we should never let a few nasty examples influence our attitudes towards an entire profession. Without lawyers willing to work so hard to put the bad guys away, just think how much more dangerous our country would be. I already fear all of those creepy unknown terrors that go bump in the night. How much worse would it be if we didn't have people putting away the ones who've actually been caught? Like children, civilized society needs not only limits to be set, but someone willing to punish those who ignore them. Cops, judges, corrections officers and lawyers, though not always perfect (like many parents), are absolutely necessary to see that this society doesn't turn into a complete anarchy. So, to Steph and all the other prosecution attorneys out there helping to make this world a safer place, I salute you. You are all extremely cool! Now all you need is your own theme song...and maybe a costume...though probably not the tights and lycra look....Ooh, how about action figures? With cool catch phrases whenever you push a button on the back...

I am confused by your Sunday night dinner. Did you actually have tortellini AND pasta? Isn't that redundant? Two pastas mixed as one? How does the angel hair feel about having to share the same roll with the Spinach flavored tortellini? Did you even think to ask? Hmmm... I like lawyers too, as long as they are on the right side! (OJ ring a bell? ) :)
I also have to comment on Sundays meal....way to many carbohydrates!!!And what did you have last night?If you are going to start something and get us all checking that you really should keep it up :)
Lawyers are okay as long as they are not suing everyone for everthing.We are proud of our Stephie of course!!...Mom
...like "the state recommends 20 years to life", or "objection: asked and answered", or "the defense once again is lying through his yellowed teeth, which the state understands he is apt to do since at heart he is nothing but a money-grubbing, godless suck on society who revels in winning probation for criminals who wouldn't think twice about raping and pillaging an entire village, much less one lone little victim as we have in this case." I liked your Sunday meal, though it gave me a belly ache.
Ah yes, I knew you would have some perfect catch phrase ideas, Stepheroo. And Becky, yes, we had both tortellini and angel hair pasta, mostly because Joshua and I aren't all that keen on tortellini and also because it IS NOT POSSIBLE to have too much pasta. Or cheese. At least, not at my house! As far as the feelings of said pasta, I doubt it mattered much once they were chewed up and swallowed! Mu ha ha (diabolical laughter)
PS.- Steph, don't take this the wrong way, but I wish my Sunday meal had given you a belly ache!
Ok, my husband did not understand my last comment, so I will explain. What I mean is that, if you got a belly ache from my meal, that would mean you had eaten here, which would make me incredibly happy since I miss you so much. Kapeesh?
Duke "DA HAMMER" Shapiro says, "Tanks...we lawyers have got a bum rap for years...so what if some of us chase ambulances, call new widows, hang out in bars hopin' for fights, ...most of us are Saints, I tell ya!!
So, do ya know anyones ya might wants ta sue, Sugar??"
