I'm Not as Sweet as I Used to Be.

I have decided that you are just not a true Southern woman unless, at least once a month or so, something happens in your life that brings to mind a line from the movie Steel Magnolias.

For instance, a little while ago I was thinking about how depressed I always get around this time of the year, and I couldn't help but hear Ouiser's voice in my mind: "I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for the last 40 years!"

I think I've been in a bad mood for the last four years. Although there are certainly people out there who would say I'm just crazy.

I'm sorry I haven't blogged much lately, but the wireless Internet at my apartment has once again become "unavailable," and I haven't really had time to do any posting at the office. (Damn plaintiffs' cases are driving me nuts.) If I had been without Internet at home a couple of years ago, I think I would have gone insane (I couldn't have lived without Instant Messenger), but now I'm kind of enjoying the freedom. At least I have something to look forward to when I get to work in the morning. (Checking Facebook, of course.) And I've certainly been getting my money's worth from Comcast's On Demand service.

I'll try to post something more substantial (and interesting) soon.
