Answer: I, the Jury
Question: What was Mickey Spillane's first novel?
(Mickey Spillane wrote Mike Hammer.)
So I had jury duty today.
I'm actually really fascinated by the idea of being on a jury. I'd love to be on one, I think. Too many Law and Order reruns. But right now, with a baby and I'm the prime caregiver... it wasn't going to be a good think if I got stuck on a week-long trial. If nothing else, I was going to need long and frequent breaks to pump my breast milk. Never mind paying for a babysitter. (Cause C. took today off, but he couldn't take much more than that.)
Happily, as happened last time, I sat around for all morning, read a book, and was sent home. I'm good for another three years. (C., incidentally, has NEVER been called.)
I think I would have gotten to go home even ealier but some weisenheimer kept making "funny" comments to the court officer and the judge felt the need to have us all file into the courtroom and sit and listen to her talk aobut the importance of serving as a juror before she said, "We have no cases for you today." Smart alek.
Let's see, other news? Mom and Dad N. visited yesterday, which was fun.
C and I have discovered that the Tufts Educational Center isn't the preschool we're interested in. It has a 9-hour day, 5-days a week. And a $15K/year tuition. Clearly
not the two mornings a week we were looking for.
That's about all. Now, for what you've all been waiting for: photos of Miss M.
Curious baby.
Bored baby.
Fierce baby.
Tired baby.
Guacamole baby.
Posing baby.
Running and screaming baby.

OK, the elastic in the hair is VERY cute! Does it stay in?
hey guys, wanted to drop a line and say that I think May is the cutest baby EVER. Hope all is well!
May looks so very grownup!
I had jury duty a few months ago. I counted it as 'me time." :)
Oh, wait, I'm not commenting on May. She's amazingly cute as usual :).
The only time I was ever called in for jury duty (as opposed to calling the number and not having my number listed), I was placed on a jury. It taught me a lot about how our judicial system works. Statistically, it works an amazing amount of the time, but this was not one of those times. The trial (a civil one) wasted almost two weeks of my life, half of which was deliberation, and ended in a hung jury. I'd love to pontificate more on the experience its implications sometime :).
