Jamie's Corner: The Jury has reached a verdict!

In the movies, I am not the elegant lady that walks down the stairs and charms her guests with grace and beauty. I am the one that trips on her gown, spills wine on her new dress and tries to carry on a conversation with spinach stuck in between her teeth. Years ago, it used to affect my sense of self and make my depression worse. But I no longer see it that way. A writer once told me anything that does not go smoothly in life makes for a good story. I agree. And I have lots of stories.

My story this week: The Jury has reached a Verdict! 

Text from Husband: Jamie let's get to the store before it gets any later.

Text from Jamie: I can't, the lawyers are just about to present their opening statements.

Text from Husband: Are you making dinner for dad, or should I pick something up for him?

Text from Jamie: I can soon. I'm actually in the middle of a crime scene investigation. The victim's cell phone needs to be recovered and additional DNA needs to be taken off a glass in the kitchen.

Text from Husband: Will you have time to fill car up today?

Text from Jamie: Probably. I am just waiting for the judge to dismiss the jury for lunch.

Text from Husband: Can you stop by the post office on your way home today?

Text from Jamie: Yeah, sure. I am just waiting for the judge to sign the warrant for the house to be searched.

I'll admit it, my life is exciting and so much is going on. But no, I am not a lawyer or detective, I'm an avid fan of legal thrillers. 

Sometimes, I just can't put my kindle down. I need to be there for the characters in the stories and to support the authors who write these exciting tales.
