and one time, at jury camp...


so all last week i spent the whole week with fellow public defenders from Indiana.
we went to what we call jury camp.
we all took a case we're working on for jury and prepped it.
now put a bunch of defense attorneys together for a whole week, and what do they do for fun?
naturally, play with breathlyzer machines and give each field sobriety tests...
the pic above is one of the best OVWI attorneys in indiana giving me the HGN test
we're the only group of people that probably find that highly amusing :)
but i'll be here all week :)

bar maid? yes!


for those of you who don't know me, i am extremely proud of my german heritage. what is not to love...brauts, beer, a beautiful (and super clean!) country, and kraut. in fact, when i was younger, my dream wedding was to take place in the german countryside (preferably near some running water...) now that dream has passed, but i still love germany. when i visited 2 summers ago, my friend said he had never seen me be so happy as when i stepped off the train (which, by the way, immediately when i stepped into munich some friendly (drunk) german man offered me a free beer. it was as if my country knew i was coming...) needless to say, the 3 days i spent in munich were filled with great food, great beer, and one of the best times i had in europe....

so today, to distract myself from studying, i decided to peruse the internet for more german fun things i can purchase. i already own an "everyone loves a german girl" t shirt (which is in its last days...) and my favorite irish couple recently purchased a shirt for me that says "made in america with german parts." but today i found the piece missing from my german wardrobe, the piece de resistance if you must (and yes, i think its funny to use french, a country germany likes to fight with over and over again, in my german post). ok, not really, but it is hilarious and i do think i should own it...
