Weekend fun

This has been the weekend of getting things done. I spent Friday and most of yesterday participating in my firm's mock trial program. The case centered around an exploded propane gas grill. I served as the client for one side; the girl whose legs were terribly burned. The case was tried in front of a seven member jury. The firm even arranged for a court reporter, a videographer and a judge. My team lost to the company who manufactured the propane tank valve, but that was okay - two other teams tried the case and the defendants won in those cases, too. I had fun practicing my answers and getting quite emotional. The rest of the weekend has been both relaxing and productive.

On Friday night, Boyfriend Matt and I ordered a pizza and settled in for four hours of watching Gone With the Wind. GWTW is one of my favorite books, but I had never seen the movie. I loved it! Saturday evening, we grabbed some Thai food, hung out and watched Coupling with one of my fellow summer associates. Today was the busy day: laundry, grocery shopping, wedding gift shopping, baking, resume-updating, etc. Boyfriend Matt is off at his bar review course, and will be home just in time for us to have dinner with friends Claire and Dan tonight.

Also, Matt's sister Carrie had her baby! Baby Nate was born at 8 lb., 11 oz., and absolutely adorable.
