For today anyway! Yesterday ended up not being all that bad. I got out to our county courthouse, went through orientation, waited about 15 minutes to see if I'd get to go into the courtroom and then the judge came to talk to us and said that the act of just assembling the jury was enough to get the two parties to settle, so no trial would be held. Our two week term is not up yet, we still have to call in each day, but yesterday we got an early release for the day. And I may have just opted to take a me day for the rest of the day....
So, I'm back to the grind today and hoping I may not have to go in again, but if I do, at least I know what to expect now! It was very interesting to be at the courthouse and see the happenings there. One of the women that was in the jury waiting room with us had been summoned five times! FIVE! Twice in two different counties and once federally! We all asked her "do you play the lottery?" Seriously!

And can I just say how much I love my outfit today? First of all, it is all my regular clothing, no maternity stuff today. And, I think it looks pretty good, in fact, I turned to the side in the last picture so you could still see my bump and even there, it's not as noticeable today. Not to say I'm ashamed of my bump, I most certainly am not. I guess I just like wearing things that look good and make me feel good if that makes sense! I did hit up a thrift store with my extra time yesterday and found about five maternity items for about $20, so I was happy about that!
Yah for getting released early and going thrifting. Much better than going to work, lol! I really like this skirt and I love the pattern mixing going on with the floral sweater.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute outfit! I love seeing your bump...it's so cute! Great deals on the clothes of the thrift store yesterday!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love your striped skirt :)
ReplyDeleteI adore this outfit!!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit IS really fun! And hooray for thrifting maternity stuff! I know it's not easy!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite outfits of yours, Beth! The t-shirt is insanely awesome (that neckline is perfect), and I love how it goes with the skirt. Brava!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the jury duty - I've been called twice and not selected either time.
That's great that you got released early! Hopefully they won't call you back in. Can't wait to see your new thrifted maternity clothes :)

hey, I didn't know you were on Instagram. I will follow you there too.
ReplyDeleteGreat news on the maternity thrifty items. I love the outfit you have on esp that it is all stuff you already had. That is great!!!
Glad you got let out of jury duty early! I've heard it can be a pain. ALSO-I'm finally catching up on blogs now that I have internet and I want to say CONGRATULATIONS!! I was so happy to see that you're expecting-how exciting! I have so many friends pregnant also due at the end of the year-I guess it's baby season. You look absolutely beautiful in this outfit-the striped skirt is just a dream. I see a lot of maternity clothing at thrift stores, it can be so expensive if you buy it new so I'm glad you were able to find some things that you like!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on jury duty before, though I've been summoned multiple times to Alaska when I wasn't a resident there anymore. Glad you got out early though! I TOTALLY DO love this outfit on you! I think the draping of that top with the cardi is lovely and the skirt!

You look super cute! I love all of the colors and prints in today's look! So glad that you got a "me" day! That is what happened when I got called, lol.
ReplyDeleteTis a very pretty outfit, i like the contrasting patterns, especially the florals!x
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some me time! It's well deserved! And I get the joy still being in your own clothes. It's likely a little strange to have your body change somewhere unexpectedly!
ReplyDeleteLove the combo of that bright magenta and the black and white stripes! Also congrats on still rocking your regular clothes. Any time you change shape or size, there's some disorientation with dressing one's self again. Nothing wrong with it, just keep working with it. You'll change a few more things, but nothing is wrong with change for such an exciting and happy occasion.
ReplyDeleteMe days rock, I would have never tried the skirt with that top layering but now I know it looks Fab!
ReplyDeleteYou look really cute. And most civil cases do settle because we know there's a jury waiting to decide it if we don't act reasonable. That prospect propels the parties toward a resolution.
ReplyDeleteI adore that sweater...if you ever get sick of it...wink hint :)
ReplyDeletei think i was summoned to jury duty at least 3 times when i lived in georgia but was able to defer when i was out of the state at school. i loved the whole experience though and really hope i get summoned sometime here in MN!
