dugindeepFinally catching up!
In my fridge
I finally went shopping on Friday but LOL to the three bottles of wine - none of which did I buy that day. You will also notice I have plenty of condiments/dressings/whatnot in the door, but not much to go with it in the actual fridge! This is the life of a busy single person who doesn't like making messes to cook all that often.
Earliest Memory
I'm not sure if this is a recreated memory - as in, I've heard the story enough that I have fit all the visuals together - but when I was a lil over two, we moved from a two-bedroom apartment to the house we lived in for the next two decades. I remember walking out with my mom, holding her hand, but stopping at the door to the apartment, looking at the empty living room, and waving and saying goodbye to it.
Strangely enough, I have a memory of us having a dark-haired cat when I was a wee one in the house, but I recently asked my mom about it and she says the first pets we had as kids were guinea pigs, which we got when I was about 5-6. Weird.
If I won the lottery
I would pay off all debt, give my parents and family some money, and buy a nice place. I would likely still work, but maybe actually take the paycuts that scare me in order to get a better, more enjoyable job.
Lucy has been really adorable lately. Friday night she was excited to play with her favorite lil mouse (see video). This morning, she plopped down next to me in bed and cuddled for a long while.
Also, I've watched a ton of documentaries this weekend that I really loved (ESPN's 30 for 30 Benji, and The Two Escobars; Gideon's Army) and a few that were interesting just for the sake of the story (ESPN's 30 for 30 June 17, 1994; OJ: Monster or Myth; Detropia; Murder by Proxy: How America Went Postal). I'd recommend checking out any - especially the first three I mentioned. Gideon's Army is on HBO's Documentary OnDemand section and highlights public defenders, which showed some heartbreak of the people that we typically see as schleps who aren't good enough to be real defense attorneys (at least in the worlds of Law & Order and the like). It was incredible to see the POV of the people who carry 100s of cases a year and feel heartache at not being able to best serve their clients due to being overworked and a flawed justice system.
Anyone have other documentary suggestions? I watch them all on Netflix and feel like I've gotten through the core group that are interesting/entertaining.
