After I Lost My Fiance, It Seemed

I Was A Prosecutor For Many Years, I'm A Crime Victim Myself, And I've Tried So Many Cases I Don't Even Know How Many Anymore.

I Love To Cook. In Fact, At This Exact Moment, I Am Trying Something New: I Am Cooking A Whole Chicken In My Crockpot, Which I've Never Done Before. I Browned It With Garlic Powder, Salt And Pepper, And I Put A Bunch Of Celery And Onions - Which I'll Have To Hide From The Children Because They Claim To Hate Onions - And I'm Going To Make Homemade Mashed Cream Potatoes. I Always, Before I Leave For Work In The Morning, Have Supper Cooking. That Way, When I Come Home And They Come Home From School, There's All Kinds Of Good Smells In The House.

I Was In The Courtroom Prosecuting Violent Felonies For Well Over A Decade.

With Keith's [my Fiance] Murder, I Was Changed. I Thought I Would Be A Prosecutor Forever, But There Were So Many Days When I Would Leave The Courtroom During A Trial, And Go Down The Hall To The Ladies' Room, And Go Into A Little Stall, And Cry.

My Husband Makes Me Stay Totally Quiet In Movies Because Otherwise It's [five Minutes In] And I Go, "oh, So-and-so Did It," And He's Like, "ok, I Haven't Even Finished My Popcorn And You Ruined It For Me."
