Thoughts... or questions perhaps?

1. Huskies in Miami  Yes or No?
I vote yes because they are just so darn cute. 
2. Summers in Miami Yes or No?
I vote no because they are just so darn hot!
3. Colorado or California?  Which state bar do I take next???
4. July or February??  Do I take my next bar in July or wait until February '11 like originally planned?
5.  Will any of my cases ever go to trial???
I'm comming up on two months at the PD's office and I still haven't had a single case go to trial.  Darn it I want to cross examine so witness!!!
6.On the plus side apparently my job isn't that stressful because I seem to have kicked my nail bitting habbit in the but.  After twenty something years of being an avid nail biter I have managed to go 2 whole months without bitting them once (hopefully I'm not jinxing myself here)
7. Summer vacation spots??  (any suggestions...remember I'm on a state government employee salary here).

Mr. Yum's

Only the best Sushi ever.   Bond is seriously one of the nicest guys ever, in addittion to owning an phenominal restaurant.!!!  Tonight he provided us with all of this AMAZING   (AMAZING being the key word) food free of charge.    Mr. Yum's   is absolutely worth checking out.  While you wouldn't think Calle Ocho is the place to go for sushi it is without a doubt the best sushi in MIAMI...  I recomend the Calle Ocho Tuna and the Duck salal but I've never had a bad dish there ever.   Everything is fantastic,  including the service..


Mr. Yum doesn't even begin to describe this food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Valerie L. Cole Esq.

Yes that is correct.  I passed the Florida Bar.  It's an amazing feeling.  It actually seems real now.  All my hard work wasn't for nothing.  I'm an attorney.  I love saying that.  And yes you too can now tell everyone "I'll have to consult my attorney first."  Yes that's right you can come to me for legal advice.  What a thought right??  I passed both sections of the Bar Exam individually which is great.  (You can also pass if you score really high on one portion and the average of the two scores is a 136).  Florida announces pass/fail first and you get your individual scores  later in the mail. But all that matters is that I passed!! Per the Florida Supreme Court Website here are my official results:

Applicant                Part A                  Part B                   Overall                  Authorization to be Sworn In


File Number          Status                    Status                    Status

25108                    pass                       pass                      pass                       yes

I'm getting sworn in tomorrow at 5pm.  Can't wait.

I heart the 80's

The 80's was/is the greatest decade ever and not only because I was born in the 80's.  Everything about the 80's rocks. The music, the clothes, the hair, the colors.  I've just created a new radio station on my Pandora Radio "totally" dedicated to the 80's and I want to dance and/or sing along with everysong.  How can you not be in a good mood with songs like Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night, Madonna's Material GirlBon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Namer Journey's Open Arms.  

So now I come to you with open arms nothing to hide believe what I say......so here they are in their full glory.  Hoping you'll see what the 80's mean to me...with open arms.

Here are some of my favorite 80's classic's:
Really what's better than big hair, safety pin earings, hot pink heels with leg warmers and a head band?   I say we all start bring back the classic 80's style in our everyday.  Let's make Wednesday 80's tribute day.  You can tease your hair just a little bit bigger, wear the spandex,  or rock the neon colors.  And you can "totally" use all the "rad" and "far out" terms those kool cats back in the 80's use.


I seriously love this radio station all 80's all the time.

I just want to know

So that thing I wasn't going to talk about again....the bar exam.  Well its getting close to that time and I just REALLY REALLY REALLY want to know how I did.  The longer I have to wait the more the suspense is killing me.  Just tell me my results already.  The waiting to know if I passed or not is much worse that knowing the results (or so I hope).  The longer I have to wait the more undecided I become.  I hope I passed but either way just get it over with.  Pull the knife out, rip off the bandage or whatever other cliche you want to use just make it be April 12th already.  PLEASE, PLEASE, Pretty Please????
