YOU ARE GUiLTY MOTHERF**KER!!!

Sorry... I try to keep it clean here but people across the country are CHEERING today that he was found guilty. Not that it takes away from any of the pain Laci & Connor's family will feel for the rest of their lives... but it's nice to know that justice is served to that dirtbag.

Death penalty... I don't know. I think it would be very difficult to sentence someone to death for a lot of people... I don't even know if I would be able to do it. He will have his day to be judged... and who knows - maybe he'll get his in prison like Jeffrey Dahmer. He will rot in hell when the time comes. Let him sit in a prison cell for years and years... To me the death penalty just puts someone out of his misery.

I watched the verdict on Court TV and the female reporters who had been in the courtroom looked all broken up... Very emotional. I don't think I'd be able to report on something so awful without getting emotional either. They were both kind of choking up as they talked about Laci's family.

Should be interesting to see who testifies regarding his penalty. Where were these jurors when OJ was on trial??

So onto some other stuff... I got Kyla the CUTEST dress for her Christmas pictures tomorrow... I actually had to take her into the dressing room at Old Navy to try it on. I found it on the website yesterday and figured I would take my chances it was in the store... they only had 3-6 and no 6-12 but I tried it on her and IT FIT PERFECT!!! When I brought her to the dressing room she just totally was all happy and when I got the dress on her she looked up at me like "I look cute huh mommy!!" It was so sweet... and I got her a Santa hat to go with it... all red velour... and little white tights and red velour shoes... Now let's hope she is happy in the pictures this time!!!

I found out something disturbing today and I don't really know what to think about it.... I kind of want to post about it but I haven't figured out how to talk about it without sounding harsh... But whatever, I'll take a shot.

An ex-boyfriend of mine died in a car accident in Ohio the other night. He was drunk, being chased by the cops, knew he'd go to jail if he got another DUI, so he tried to get away and ended up driving into something and was killed. Horrible way to die... but I have to just say thank goodness he didn't kill someone else. I mean, it is hard to have sympathy for someone who brought it upon himself.

I just read the news report from a TV website in Columbus... he was going over 100mph... wow. That's scary. Sometimes don't you wish you could get inside someone's head and figure out what they were thinking?

I will say that even though the circumstances aren't exactly pleasant, this has brought me back in contact with some friends from college. A person who was a good friend for a while contacted me to let me know... She and I had a LOT of problems before I moved to FL... we parted ways and didn't speak for a long time... but after talking today I realize it might be time to reconcile. It is hard to even recall what exactly went so wrong... All in all she is a good person - we just had some drama between us and some other people that got way out of hand. She emailed me after we talked... I am going to write back. I also found out that she is now married.... and actually lives in my home town in MA now lol.... and I found out my big sister in my sorority who I have lost touch with just had a little boy - so I am going to get in touch with her too... and another one of my sorority sisters who was an amazing friend and we just lost touch... I have her email now too. I think getting in touch with old friends is just what I need. I am tearing up thinking about it. These are people who were part of my life when my mom passed away and I'm pretty sure that even though we have lost touch over the years it will be great to talk to them again.

I also have to congratulate my friend Sandy who just found out she passed the NJ bar. YES - SHE PASSED THE NEW JERSEY BAR EXAM!!!!! YES!!!! I have a lawyer friend!!!! I have known her since she was at Tufts working on her undergrad and I know how hard she as worked for this - I am SO proud of her. She posts here... So please congratulate her!!!!
