Does Emily Really Hate Twilight?

Emily, you really HATE Twilight? I mean, yes, it should have been us. We could have written that. And if we had we could be doing the talk show circuit, meeting Robert Pattison (is that his name?) and drowning in money! But, instead we’re here. Well, I’m here. At “work”. And you’re there. At home? In the car? At school? (where are you right now???). All that aside, I can’t hate Twilight. At the end of the day I appreciate most guilty pleasures: The Biggest Loser, Jennifer Weiner books, Steak Umms… yes, I like them all. Please reconsider your Twilight position. Have you read them all?

As far as this blog goes – reader, it’s your lucky day! Here we are – two sassy ladies ready to rock your world with our inventive prose. Or at least our attempts at inventive prose. You know a little about Emily (speaking of – pay per view boxing? That is SWEET). Now a little about me. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in political science and LSAT scores just good enough for me to say, “I’m going to law school after this.” I had a receptionist / secretary / gopher job for two years after college while I got married to my first husband (yes, I have a second husband now) and applied to law school. Looking back that job rocked. I wore shorts to work and read books all day. I headed off to law school at Lewis & Clark two years later. One thing I’ve learned since then is that when they loan you money for graduate school they expect you to pay it back. That is a tough lesson. If I could do anything (well, at least one thing) over I would have gone to UofO for law school. But, lessons learned. I’ve been practicing law for about ten years. I’m at a “big” local firm. I do real estate work. Mostly making the world safer for big box retailers (aka – God’s work). As you may know, the real estate market is in a “down cycle” currently so the hectic stressful pace of practicing law and raising children has ebbed a bit. I spend the majority of my days splitting my time equally between Facebook, internet shopping and the Google. I told Emily I thought I could probably fit in a little daily blogging with that…
