Please be dressed appropriately

With my first trial, with my own clients, scheduled to start tomorrow, I'm sitting on the couch enjoying a lovely glass of red wine and listening to an easy listening station on Sirius XM. And my only thought is that I hope my client is dressed appropriately for court. You would be surprised what people wear or don’t wear to court. It is of course a jury trial so appearances matter and I haven't been able to get a hold of her to remind her tomorrow the trial is tomorrow or to tell her what is and isn't courtroom appropriate attire. I would call her but of course the phone numbers we have on file are no longer working numbers and she has made no attempt to contact our office to inquire into her case. I have a festive green shirt picked out for tomorrow. I'm prepared for trial but will she be?




And this of course leads me into my next train of thought...how incredible grown up I've become. Not because I've have a grown up job, have graduated law school, or even that I'm over 25. No the realization that I've come to is that I rather enjoy red wine. I like drinking it in my pretty beaded glasses my Aunt & Uncle gave me two Christmases ago. I like the smell of red wine. And I like the taste. I used to dislike all wines but especially red wines. My taste buds have matured and that can only mean one thing, I'm a real grown up. ~Cheers~
