"I think your suggestion is, Can we do two things at once? Well, we’re of the view that we can walk and chew gum at the same time." —Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state, on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, June 2, 2004 (Armitage announced his resignation on November 16, 2004.)
"To do two things at once is to do neither." —Publilius Syrus, Roman slave, first century B.C.

Friday work was productive and I am proud of myself. I've been trying to read this article on multitasking, I hear it is actually very bad for you. You have to pay to read it, so I have yet to fully access it. I feel like I have so many things half started that multitasking is probably not the best thing for me.
I left work a little early and came home to find out that my repaired cell phone was ready. My treo was broken, so I was upgraded to one without an antenna, which is pretty much the same thing, except that it feels new. I really want an iphone, but I'm in no position to buy one, so I'll wait on that for as long as I can. I even tried to convince myself to get an itouch, but I might as well just get the iphone for that price. I spent so much time trying to convince myself to just wait. I understand that I buy things when I am feeling down, but it does make me feel better for a little bit.
After work I took Max over to Rino's and I hung out with him and Jessica. We played poker and watched the dogs play. We also talked about our plans on where we would like to live come next year. I'm glad I have family that lives here.

Saturday Abram came in late after work. I didn't do too much. I think I napped during the day. We had a few beers and watched Good Luck Chuck.
Sunday my family came in for my swearing in ceremony. <Check out the Photos of my Swearing In.> My mom, dad, grandma, Eliza, Tori, Ana and Rick drove up. We had a bbq at my place. Max had a blast playing with Brooks and Memphis in the back yard. We made all kinds of food and watched the Cowboy game. Rick and Abram did most of the BBQing and the food turned out great. It was a really good time and there was a lot of leftovers for later. I ended up just crashing before midnight. It is always good to have a family event with no drama and just genuine happiness.
Monday was Veterans day and I had it off for my ceremony. It was at 10am. We got there just in time and there was a lot of pomp and circumstance, but it went by pretty quickly. I probably should of been more in awe considering the TX supreme court was there, but I was actually tired from being excited. I didn't sign in or anything, so I wonder how they knew I was there. I felt best when I turned in my fees and paperwork and knew that now I had finished all my requirements for being an attorney. Looking at my bar number should of been a moment of reflection, instead it was very cursory. Rino came to the ceremony too which was cool of him. We took pictures and it felt like a graduation ceremony of sorts. After I went to pay those fees I mentioned, which were the key to legally being able to practice law.
After, we took my family out to West Austin to enjoy the scenic view. Rick was a good tour guide and took us to the Oasis. It had an amazing view. We had a late lunch and took lots of pictures. I know really rich people live out there, but I don't think i would want that. I like to be near stores and people and work. It's a long drive to the movies I bet.

Once we got back everyone took off for home and I started to decompress from the weekend. It was a like a flash and I feel like I was a spectator more so than the honoree. Now I hope to do everyone proud.
