Okay, NOW I’m Tired

Seriously tired.
It’s 11:38.  I have scrubbed (and purged) the kitchen.  I have scrubbed the hardwood floors (hand and knees).  I have bought 5 bottles of wine (white), and somehow had a friend agree to bring 6 more (red).  I made Beloved bring home 2 six packs of beer.  I have had dinner with the girls.  [...]

Why am I not tired?

I should be tired.  I have done a lot today.  A lot of work, a lot of exercising, a lot of socializing, a lot of sports practice schlepping, a lot of cleaning, a lot of chatting, a lot of cuddling.
Work still gets an A.  Sometimes I wonder what happened.  Why am I so happy, when [...]

A minor yet irksome issue

My swearing in ceremony was nice.  It was held in historic Fanueil Hall, and the ceremony and speeches capitalized on that.  In a good way, in my opinion.  I spoke with a couple of senior associates later in the day who said, “do they still tell all the same corny jokes?” and I said, “but [...]

Craziness Ensues

I think tonight was the first night of my run where there is something every night until the girls leave for the holidays.
Went to a book group thing with E through her school.  They do it twice a year, where everyone in the grade reads the same book, and a teacher moderates a discussion.  Parents [...]

Tomorrow, Finally.

I will be a lawyer.  Ahhhh.
Beloved is taking the day off and coming to the ceremony with me.  Because he loves me.  We will then (hopefully, depending on timing) go out to lunch.  This place called Wagamama.  Apparently, it’s famous in other cities, mostly in other countries.
I don’t care.  I just want to eat with [...]

Friday Looms

I guess I haven’t blogged about the fact that I’m having potentially 30 people at our house on Friday night.
Wow.
It’s a large gathering of parents in E’s grade. We are creating a support/information-sharing network for parents of middle schoolers. I somehow ended up on the planning committee for it, and although someone else [...]

and now even MORE holidays

Yeah, I don’t know what I was thinking that I could move at the first of the year with the holidays coming right BEFORE the first of the year.
I’m getting the girls Nanos.  E has the older nano, which doesn’t have a video screen.  She didn’t realize that the non-video screen wasn’t compatible with the [...]

Thankfulness

I am thankful for my Beloved.  Yes, he’s first.  The ways he has affected my life, and my person, and my family are tremendous and fantastic.  He provides me with support (emotional and physical), encouragement, assistance, experiences and confidence.  To the girls, he provides love, creativity, empowerment, information, fun, exploration …. the list goes on [...]

Home for the Holiday

We got in super-late last night.  We left late on purpose – hoping to miss traffic.  We did indeed miss traffic, but found ourselves driving through pea soup fog.  It was pretty intense.
I had gotten up at 5, and was at work by 7 … so come 9 p.m. when we got on the highway, [...]

Deliciously Weird

Over the weekend, when my parents were in town, Beloved was showing me some recipes he was considering for the week to come.  A blissfully short week.  A pork “stroganoff” for one night, a soup for another, and then a salad for another night.  But the salad?  It had an egg on top.  And I [...]
