Trip Prep

I stopped by Macy’s tonight to “look at luggage.”  I told Beloved, “I’ll just be a few minutes, I’m not buying tonight.”
Of course, there was a sale.
50% off this.
40% off that.
I found a light blue luggage that was kind of nice, but the color didn’t seem so professional.
Then there was a black bag by Swiss [...]

Another of the reasons why we love this time of year:

Because we can do this:
Woo hoo!! Punkins!!

This is E’s. It’s a cauldron, with a moon. The moon and the fire under the cauldron are not fully cut out. We just thinned the punkin out. I think tomorrow we’re going to add a witch standing next the cauldron, because as Beloved [...]

Why I love this time of year

The urban autumn is different than the rural one I grew up with – despite the relatively close geographical location. I found the same thing in the winter – when I was growing up, I had to deal with snow plows and roads that could or could not be driven on. I found [...]

Shopping for kids.

I took E shopping today. She’s going to NYC for a show and a fancy-pants dinner, and she is going to a dance, and we’re going to a friend’s Bat Mitzvah.
We went to Macy’s, but the stupid store didn’t have a kids’ section.
So we went to Bloomingdales, but I was scared. I’d seen [...]

The weird part … it’s in the Middle of the Country.  You know, where my ex lives?  It’s in his very town.
What are the odds of that?  My first assignment, my first trip – all right there.  In [...]

The last person on earth

to watch Legally Blonde.
My main comment:
YOU CANNOT BE 3.03 CERTIFIED IN YOUR FIRST YEAR!  YOU NEED TO TAKE EVIDENCE FIRST!  YOU NEED TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION!
That is all.
No, I found no redeeming value.
I *do* understand that this makes me humorless.

Anxiety

Some time ago, I heard that the bar exam results would come out on November 15th.  I didn’t like that it was so late, but I dealt with the fact.
The other day, a colleague came into my office, wondering what day our case would culminate into something …
I said I thought 11/5.  She said she [...]

Not much going on

Work has hit a bit of a lull, which I hear is common during the first few months as we get integrated into cases.  I was frustrated by my boredom yesterday, but today I embraced the lack of work.  I went to the gym for an hour and a half, then went pretty much straight [...]
