#20ThingsAboutMe
@LibrarianRyan

It appears I‘m late to the party, so I tag anyone who hasn‘t done this yet & wants to!

nelehelen Obama! That‘s so awesome. And I‘d love to hear your harmonies 😊 especially with your piano. I learned piano when i was little but forgot everything! Been wanting to pick it up again... maybe I‘ll take your lead and teach myself?? 5y
Kalalalatja That‘s a fun fact about your name 🙌 5y
BookBabe 1: You‘re cute. ☺️ 6: Awesome!!! 7: Ok, I didn‘t guess that one! And I thought I was exotic. 😝 11: Even BILLS?!😱😱😱 I think that‘s the most shocking thing I‘ve heard in all my days. 😂 19: Lovely! And how fitting for your profession 😁🙌🏻 5y

JaclynW King at 8! 😬👍 Obama! Clinton! Yay! I love making lists too. 😊 5y
Texreader So fun learning more about you. I love snail mail too, except junk mail, too! 5y
Velvetfur Ummmm, might be a silly question but how do you make this picture?! This is why I haven't done this yet, I don't know how to make a pic with text on it, and that's small enough for Litsy! 5y
LeahBergen Snail mail! 👏🏻👏🏻 5y
batsy 10 is very cool! I regret stopping lessons when I was young and might do this yet... 😉 5y
Chrissyreadit Yay Obama and Clinton!! 5y
LauraBeth I still love 🐌💌 also 5y
GatheringBooks ooooh! nice view at work! 😍 5y
LibrarianRyan 😁👍🏻🤓 5y
CaroPi That are impressive accomplishments! The closest thing I have to that is that once I had a coffee with Bill Clinton and didn't knew it was him. And I studied political science! (edited) 5y
Avanders @nelehelen You can definitely teach yourself! And if you already know it, it‘ll come back to you pretty quickly too ☺️ @Kalalalatja 😁😘 @BookBabe lol thanks 😁😘♥️ and yes, even bills.... but not junk mail, it should be confessed. Bc it‘s not “real.” 😆 @JaclynW yeah... fortunately a lot of it didn‘t really sink in at that age! I read ridiculously fast back then... 😁 And yeah, it‘s funny how it worked out — neither was initiated by me! 🤷🏽‍♀️ 5y
Avanders @Texreader 😘 And yeah, junk mail is definitely the exception 😬 That‘s why the #jb group was so enticing... unfortunately I was way too busy this past year and still have a bunch that I still need to respond to! 🤭 @Velvetfur so I added a blurb, clicked to add an image, picked one from my photos on my phone (this one is of the street in front of my house on a rarely foggy day), then clicked to “add text” and typed it in! ☺️ 5y
Avanders @Booksnchill lol #lawyersunite #litsyjusticeleague 😉😉 @LeahBergen it feels so decadent ☺️☺️ @batsy I bet if you picked it up again, it will come back to you quickly! 🤗 @Chrissyreadit 🤘🏽The Clinton thing was actually kind of a big deal (I‘ll post a pic some day... I gave a speech on cnn/cspan, introducing him to a live crowd of ~35,000!) The Obama thing less impressive — I met him in college while he was running for state senate in IL 👇🏽 (edited) 5y
Avanders A friend worked on his campaign (and stayed w him after law school — she was part of his presidential transition team! 😯) @LauraBeth it‘s always sooo fun to get something “real” 🤗🤗 @GatheringBooks it really is pretty amazing... I need to remember that more often!! 🗻 @CaroPi 😘😘 That‘s so cool about having coffee w him — he‘s shockingly down-to-earth ☺️☺️ 5y
Velvetfur @Avanders Thank you so much, you make it sound easy! I'll give it a go 😊 5y
readordierachel Great list! I am also half Norwegian (other half is Puerto Rican) 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘ve always wanted to learn piano 🎹❤️ 5y
BethM You‘re married to a bear 😱I thought being married to a buc was bad 😂 5y
Avanders @Velvetfur did it work for you? @readordierachel ooh, fun! 💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks it‘s not too hard... just start with 5 notes... you can learn 5! Everything stems from there 😉 @BethM lol right?! 🐻🤦🏽‍♀️ 5y
Velvetfur @Avanders Yes it did, thanks! I posted it a few days ago, it's on my profile if you want to see, but I couldn't manage to do the writing-size very well, hehe 😊Lots of very interesting things in your list, by the way, I enjoyed reading it 👍 5y

This quote really speaks to me today as a teacher on the first day of school. A teacher, mind you, whose pullout resource support is on maternity leave. Today I was told there‘s no replacement for her indefinitely which is not only illegal, but also unfair to the kids. #quotsy #quotsysept18 #class #teachersoflitsy

hermyknee 🤬🤯 I get so angry when they won‘t support the kids (and US!) the way we need them to. (They = The Man. The Administration. The Jerks.) Are you in a union state, and if not (like me), have you talked to your teachers association rep? 6y
Purrfectpages @hermyknee yes, I‘m good friends with our Union president, so I contacted her about what‘s going on. I‘ll do whatever I can to fight, I just need to know all the facts first. Unfortunately I also work in a district where parental involvement is very low, so they probably won‘t even know or care. 😞 6y
hermyknee @Purrfectpages I‘m right there with you. It‘s so tough. 😞 The #teachersoflitsy are here for you! And I‘m betting the #LitsyJusticeLeague will support you, too! (Shoutout @Alicia !) (edited) 6y

Purrfectpages @hermyknee I didn‘t even know #litsyjusticeleague was a thing! 6y
TK-421 That sucks 😟 Hope you the union can help set things right! 6y
Alicia Sending lots of love from the #LitsyJusticeLeague! ❤️💓❤️ @Purrfectpages @hermyknee 6y
mrp27 Yikes that's awful! Despite this, best wishes for a great school year. 6y
Joy0201 What a stressful beginning! I would contact a union/advocacy group and see what they say. 6y

Look at this amazing wrapping job from @Mdargusch !! I have to say my wrapping paper was not at all in the theme 😢 that‘s what I get for having too much happy wrapping paper lying around.. but this is awesome!!! ⚔️📚 also the mug says “people lie, evidence doesn‘t”!!!! Definitely bringing that to work!!! #lawyersoflitsy #itstrulycriminalswap #litsyjusticeleague

My boss (the owner of and leading attorney at the law firm where I work) is wearing a #Hufflepuff t-shirt today.

She is awesome. I love my (new) job 💛⚡️🤓

#litsyjusticeleague #lawyersoflitsy #harrypotter

Zelma That is completely awesome! 6y
wanderinglynn 👍🏻 I don‘t know your firm, but not something I would expect to see at most law firms. Im an attorney for the govt and even then, most of my colleagues still dress biz casual on Fridays. Sounds like you have a good firm. 😀👏🏻🙌🏻 6y
Ruthiella Huffelpuff would probably practice family law...Slytherin would be corporate law...Griffindor maybe public defender 😀 6y
YouReadMyEyes @wanderinglynn @Ruthiella We do all employment/HR law 🙂 6y
GarthRanzz So cool when the boss not only observes dress down Friday but uses it to declare their House allegiance! 6y

Reorganization was necessary!

It drives me nuts that they are stacked horizontally, but that‘s the only way I can fit them all.

I need a bigger shelf...

Non-book related life update: NEW JOB!

After relocating to CA last year for my husband‘s job and having to pass the CA bar exam and get licensed in CA, I am finally going to be practicing law again! I accepted an offer from a terrific employment law firm and will start in April. ⚖️👩🏼‍⚖️

Christine Congrats!! 6y

Went to Bisbee, Arizona this weekend and popped into a tiny adorable bookshop, and found this textbook from 1941!! As a lawyer I had to get it- it‘s all about how the government then in AZ operated!! So fun. 📚👩🏽‍⚖️🌵#litsyjusticeleague
