A Day as a Juror

Okay...I wasn't chosen as a juror but 10 hours of Jury Duty should count for something. My day started with a semi-relaxing drive to downtown Fort Worth. I am using the term "relaxing" very loosely. While navigating through hellish traffice I finally got half way to downtown and realized that I was almost on empty. I stopped for gas, got back in my car and continued my adventure to my civic duty. Unfortunately the jury summons did not give the address for the jury parking and the useless map that was sent with the summons did little to provide the proper direction to the correct parking lot. So...After 25 minutes of driving around Fort Worth, I finaly decided to settle on a parking lot close to Sundance Square. Unknowing to me, the court house is actually 8-10 blocks from the parking garage. All I have to say is that my pinky toes are killing me.

The beginning part of the jury process was rather fun and entertaining, but the fun soon disapeared around hour 6. I am happy it is all over and hope not to be called anytime soon to serve again.

Snow...YAY!!!

We absolutely love TEXAS!!! It was a wonderful day to have snow; actual snow, not just flurries or sleet. Rodney got to stay home from work, so he took some really cute pictures of Conan. I had to work, but had a fun time walking around all the out-door shops while the snow was falling. I really hope that we have more opportunities for snow; it is so beautiful.
