My cousin, Merry, and her sisters created this New Jersey Housewives Kit. Merry also wrote and sang this song for me. It’s to the tune of “The Yellow Rose of Texas”.

Since I’d heard those two key words, naturally I thought he was a computer guy. Nope. He was a “process server”. The guys that hands folks papers and says, “You’ve been served.”

Lesson Learned: I work for a law firm, I have no legal experience, and I need to watch more Law & Order.
