Work has slowed down in the past few weeks, as a discovery deadline has passed, and major motions have been filed. I knew the slow down was coming, and quite frankly, I have been very grateful.
Beloved and I plan to go to New York City over the long weekend, and I’m taking Tuesday off as [...]

What I Love Best (and in which I say “love” a lot … and a lot and a lot.)
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Obama, patriotism on January 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Is that our public leader is now a man so capable of love. He is not afraid of showing his love … and I think his capacity for love infects us all. With hope, and happiness, and joy.
I love that they love each other. I love them for loving each other. I love knowing that [...]
KC-101, sort of …
Posted in Uncategorized on December 3, 2008 | 1 Comment »
When I was a pre-teen and young teen, growing up in the Wilds of Connecticut, I had a favorite radio station. KC101. It was the one that played Tiffany, and Debbie Gibson, and David Lee Roth’s goofy Van Halen, and the goofier post-Van Halen David Lee Roth. They played the Top 40 Countdown with Rick [...]
What a Day!!!

It’s 7:59 a.m., and I am back from voting. We brought the kids with, and were excited to see that the line was almost 30% kids.
As we were walking up to our polling place at 6:55 a.m., with a line already weaving around the building, I felt tears building. It was amazing.
I am so excited [...]
A Break from the Quietude.

I know I’ve been quite remiss in the posting department.
Quite honestly, I just don’t have much to say. At least nothing cheerful.
I guess, when I look back at the past couple of months through to the present day, I’ll describe myself as being in a funk.

Not my words (this time)

“I really need to do laundry tomorrow, or else on Tuesday, I’ll be wearing a skirt.”
Those were E’s words this evening. I am really chuckling over it, b/c I am sure I’ve said that 1,000 times in my past.
This is her first year doing her own laundry. So far, she’s been a real champ [...]
First of all, do NOT call her “shrill”
Posted in Uncategorized on September 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I mean, seriously. Must you ? In public, even? You cannot pull out insults reserved solely for women in this setting and expect any of your further criticisms to carry any weight. Because, quite frankly, you are behaving in a sexist manner, and the rest of your thoughts will be considered [...]
Bel Canto
Posted in Uncategorized on September 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I am reading a ton of novels again. I feel like it’s pre-law school all over again. I have been averaging a book a week. I think this is not the first time I have seen that reading = no blogging. Bel Canto is the latest, and I am so loving it, I don’t want [...]
Second to last
Posted in Uncategorized on August 17, 2008 | 4 Comments »
This weekend has been relatively delicious.
In the background of all of it, I’m missing the girls, I’m stressed about them not being where they belong (here), and I’m so looking forward to them being home. (to prove my stress over the situation, my face lovingly exploded in my worst break out in years.) I don’t [...]
My two/ nay, three/ bright spots (and counting?)

1) Come January – which is really really soon – I will have a house cleaner! I could likely afford it now, but we have so many rugs and wall hangings and decorative pieces of furniture to buy, it’s best to hold off.
2) Work is taking fun turns.
3) My girls are coming home soon! Woo [...]
