I found out on Friday that I was recalled to show up for Monday. I put on a cute little Avenue dress, assuming I would be dismissed. WRONG. I was one of the first people they chose to stay. My first jury duty, ever! And it's supposed to last the entire week so I have to drive to Orlando EVERY SINGLE MORNING. I truly don't mind serving, but I hate driving! And this is 85 miles per day! Yuck yuck yucki!
At least I looked cute:
 |
| Avenue dress, bought in 2011, never worn. Not sure why...I think this dress is UH-MAZ-ING! I felt like a million bucks in it. I think it's because the pattern is kind of crazy. I wore a navy blue tank under neath, and black flats which drove me nuts all day. I'm not used to my toes being covered! |
 |
| Mr. R: "Uhhh, did you wear your cardigan today at court?" Me, innocently: "Yes, I did." Mr. R: "Good. Because your curves are SLAMMING in this dress. Maybe that's why you got picked for jury duty." Me: "I was sitting down when they chose me." Mr. R: "The front looks good, too." |

| Me, outside while Mr. R buffs out some rust on my Durango. Can you tell how tired I am? Am not used to driving three hours per day! |
I can't tell you about the case, because I'm a JUROR. But do know they serve coffee and doughnuts. It's the small things, really.
 |
| It's a white background with yellow, green, teal, and navy lines on it. Not a perfect pattern, very random, very interesting. This dress definitely needs a slip, that's for certain. I love the mock wrap and the neckline. One of the best dresses in my closet, for certain! |
 |
| Yeah. Feeling awesome sauce in this one. Oh, and Missy did my hair so now more grays for two more weeks, hooray! |
 |
| Thanks, Honey. Sorry I hit that pole. *cough, ahem* |
I will try to update tomorrow and the rest of the week, but it's going to be tough with all the driving I have to do. So if I don't do an update every day, I'm sorry! I didn't think I was going to get called for jury duty when I started this.

I LOVE that dress!
I've never, ever been called for jury duty. I've lived in this county my entire life! Weird....
This is my first time getting called, and I was picked, which surprised me. And I didn't get called for my local county, I got called for federal!
I love the dress, too. I'm wearing an old one today; will hopefully show you later!
I really regret not buying this dress! I tried it on too and loved the fit. Wrap dresses just look gorgeous on a curvy figure.

That dress is beautiful! You must wear it more often!
Thank you, thank you! And wrap dresses are just perfect for curvy figures. I love wearing them!
Wow that's a long way to drive for jury duty!! Is that in the same county as you? (Juries here are by county - I'm assuming it's that way there too).
It's not the same county; I was called for federal jury duty. That's why I have to drive so far. :(
Love this dress. And I'm glad to see jury duty is over for you. I have never done it, but I bet that is really hard! Enjoy your (hopefully) restful weekend!
