Lately, I’ve been asked why my blogaliciousness slowed down this summer. I hate personal questions. I prefer blogging about our crazy legal system. But I have an answer that will probably give me a free pass (and probably draw major sympathy) on the blogaslowdown. That is this: I have moved four times this summer. FOUR TIMES.
Furniture from my 3,000 sf home to storage to make room for the British renters.
Clothing from my 3,000 sf home to an apartment.
Old office (small) to new office (large).
Some furniture from storage and all clothing from apartment to downtown condo.
And what does that have to do with the price of coffee in Columbia? Well, this weekend commericial by IKEA totally resonated with me!
I have assembled — read the directions — disassembled and re-assembled some IKEA pieces. Sadly, I haven’t had time to play with any toys!
I am a court reporter. A keeper of the record. A fly on the wall. For over a quarter century, I have had a front-row seat in legal proceedings -- private depositions, public trials, town hall meetings! And just when I think I've heard it all, I am proven wrong! What most people don't know about court reporters is that while we seem stoic and hyper efficient, we have ears and eyes and a brain in between. But we cloak our emotions, stifling our laughter. . .and our tears. . .as we make the record. This interactive blog is dedicated to my reporting peers, a place where we can share or courtroom chaos and other fun tales! So grab your favorite beverage, put your keyboard on your lap and feel free to blog along while, together, we record history as we see it! You never know, you might recognize your own story published in Court Reporting Chaos! -The Ink Slinger

I want to see you place! How about an invite, sister??? Let me know when you have a breather.
And “invite”? For someone like you? Ah. . .D’AH. Open invitation. Just tell me when you’ll be here! I’m here. All. The. Time.
