TMI Tuesday - 7 Deadly Sins Edition!

1. LUST: Besides your current Significant Other who do you lust for or have you lusted for?

Wow, where do I begin? PIC (duh), SCM, Ed, a total hottie at church, ATLLG, SM, Colin Farrell, Wes Bentley, Mr. Troll (he has very sexy hands and shoulders - that's all I've seen of him), Old Knudsen (it's the cap, don'tcha know?), Charlie, Stealth, and all the hot guys in the bloggy world. If I didn't mention you by name, don't fret - I lust for you, believe me.

2. GLUTTONY: What food brings out your inner glutton?

Pasta, with butter, fresh garlic, freshly shredded parmesan, and course ground black pepper. Yummo!

3. GREED: What are you greedy for?

Sex - I never get enough.

4. SLOTH: What is your plan for an ideal day of sloth?

A good book and no kids!

5. WRATH: Describe a time that you let out a can of whoop ass on someone.

Does screaming at my children and spanking the little one count? Then that happens almost daily (at least the screaming and the threat of a spanking).

Most of my ass-kicking was done in a courtroom. I've only lost one trial, ever. Granted, most cases don't go all the way through to a trial, but I'm 37-1 for cases that have gotten to trial (most cases settle without a trial and I had quite a few that I felt I would have lost bad had they not settled). That one that I lost was a very weak case to begin with - a misdemeanor stalking prosecution. It was someone else's case that I took over at the very last minute because she had another trial scheduled at the same time. She even said this was a lame case and not to be surprised if we lose it. My non-police witnesses changed their testimony at the last minute, essentially leaving us with no chance of proving our case beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury was right to come back with a not guilty verdict.

One of my favorite ass-whoopings was representing a client in a zoning dispute with her city. The city was just being unreasonable and charged her with a misdemeanor zoning violation. At the end of the trial, the judge told the city attorney that they were being completely ridiculous, harassing this fine, upstanding citizen and to just leave her alone. It was quite funny at the time. Even the lady's neighbors testified in her defense that even if she had violated the zoning ordinance, which no one thought she had, they loved the result and had no complaints. It was clear the zoning administrator had a bug up his butt about my client (small, small town) and this was just part of his vendetta.

6. ENVY: Who or what do you envy? Why?

I envy anyone in an loving, honest marriage.

7. PRIDE: Have you ever had to swallow your pride? What are you proud of?

I swallow my pride every time I put up with Spousehole's assholeishness. I am proud of my intelligence and education and I'm insanely proud of my kids. Current sources of pride: Boy was so composed and sweet riding his horsey buddy in front of a huge crowd at the rodeo on Saturday (he HATES crowds) and Girl basically potty-trained herself in the last 2 weeks.

Greed:	Medium
Gluttony:	Medium
Wrath:	High
Sloth:	High

(Gluttony really should be higher, I think. Otherwise, how did I get this fat?)
