There are so many things I could discuss here tonight but I'm going to start with last weekend.
I started watching The Rachel Zoe Project and now I just can't stop. I DIE.
Like, that show is bananas.
I may or may not have watched nine episodes last weekend. I also cleaned the house while it played on the laptop so really it was a win-win for everyone except Taylor.
(For anyone watched the first season, did you like Tay-Tay? Because I kinda loved Her Royal Moodiness.)
In other totally non-happening news, I was on-call for jury duty this week.
When most people heard this, they nodded their head sympathetically and told me such things as "you probably won't get called at all" and "at least now you won't get called for a long time."
People, I've been dying to do jury duty since I was a little nerdy elementary student. I just think it's such a cool part of our country and I would be so honored to serve.
Plus I've also watched Runaway Jury a few too many times.
In my heart, I really did want to get summoned to the City County Building but, alas, I didn't make the cut.
I never got called, the process ended today and now John Cusack will just have to make Gene Hackman squirm without me.
There is no reasonable segue into this next part so I'm just gonna put it out there.
I spent yesterday afternoon at the Statehouse for a bloggers roundtable with Indiana's Lt. Governor Becky Skillman.
(Totally not what you thought would follow Rachel Zoe and John Cusack, right?)
I got a picture to prove it.
This picture also proves that Becky Skillman has amazing hair. I don't know if your political beliefs align with hers but you can't deny that she rocks the blonde.
Other than the fab hair, she also embodies class, poise and graciousness and the rare ability to give very smart answers AND admit when she doesn't know something.
It truly was an honor to be part of her busy schedule so we could share concerns and pick her (very smart) brain for an hour.
Angie wrote a great post on her experience at the Statehouse and I just love how she captured it all.
So...um...ditto.
Then I spent the evening with some blogger friends. We ate gyros and flaming cheese (WOWSA!), thrifted with the Jedi Master of Thrifting and crammed frozen yogurt into very full bellies.
I truly thought it was midnight when the night was done. Instead, it was only 9:30 p.m. when I was completely spent.
Spring chicken, I am not.
But if I could offer one recommendation? It would be to order the flaming cheese at Santorini in Fountain Square. You're welcome.

The flaming cheese ROCKED MY WORLD. The cheesecake yogurt blasted my tastebuds.
You ladies? You all warmed my heart and soul. I had such a great time with you all.
I, too, had few words I could express about the actual meeting w/ Becky...it was just an amazing opportunity.
I LOVE Santorini! I've always feared for the flame-retardant-ness of their ceiling when they do the flaming cheese, but boy is it delicious.
Plus, how cool is getting to hang out with the Lt. Gov?
Oh and btw I've always wanted to serve jury duty too, you're not the only nerdy one :-p I got "called," but just sat in my alphabetical seat near the back until they had the number they needed and sent the rest of us home. Kinda bummed by that.
You flatter me . . . and I totally eat it up. I keep having the incredible urge to yell "OPA!" in hopes that it will magically summon some of that cheesy goodness out of thin air.
Loved hanging out with all of you. Must do it more often.
You all ate Greek food without your Greek blogging friend? Sorry to have missed it!
And do not get me started on *another* show... I will not give in to The Rachel Zoe Project! ;)
I wanted to thank you for coming to the Statehouse. This is the first time I’ve done a roundtable like this, but I’m glad I did. If ever I needed a group of advisers, I certainly have a group of knowledgeable, clever and creative women to call upon.
Katie – Your zest for life is evident in your blog posts. Please continue to write about your experience as a wife and mother as you bring much joy to those who read your blog.

ummmm..it has been almost a month since you posted sista. Your fans need you. Or basically I need some reading material during my slow week of work.
