The lights in the living room and one bedroom were working fine and then one day they just went out. I'm not sure if its a bad breaker or a short. Can someone point me in the right direction. I'm have some experience doing electrical work.

Things to check:

Tripped GFCI receptacle or breaker, may be in bathroom, kitchen, garage.

Tripped breaker in panel, is everything on that citcuit out?

Loose wire, possibly at a receptacle on the same circuit, usually due to wiring using spring loaded backwire technique.
