What's the verdict?

I get jury summons frequently...at least once a year! Maybe that's normal. All I know is that I get them way more often than Ryan. It could be because I am always trying to get out of it and I am on a list somewhere to "try again later". Anyhow, I saw my sister say somewhere something about jury duty and one of her friends said that she always gets out of it for the same simple reason...she is a stay-at-home mom. DUH! I have gotten pretty lucky (cancelled) or have come up with really good reasons, like being a nursing mother. Ok, same as staying home, but it sounds even more necessary!

I seriously have a target on me somewhere because I just got not ONE, but TWO jury summons! One for the US district court and one for our local court. One April 23, and one starting May 1. REALLY? I don't think I will have a hard time getting out of it after talking to the local court lady. That one is only one day, and when I told her I thought the other one was for a week, she said it could go as long as a year and a half! NO STINKIN' WAY!

So just wondering, this is my first time ever summoned for the District court. Has anyone else ever got a summons for that one too...or this close together? Or am I just lucky?
