Moving On

Posted on February 03, 2010
I haven’t written much on this blog since I started my other blog about our sailing trip. I’ve found that everything in my life these days revolves around the boat, and since I’d like to keep this new chapter of my life separate from here, all my thoughts and writing energy have been devoted to [...

2010 ? Resolutions

Posted on January 11, 2010
A belated VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!! Can you believe it’s 2010? Not only a new YEAR but a new DECADE as well. So amazing how time flies by so quickly some days and not quickly enough on others… Even though I don’t think I’ve ever successfully “completed” any of my new year’s resolutions, that [...

How big is a tuna?

Posted on December 29, 2009
First things first – a belated Merry Christmas to all!! Happy Holidays!! We had a great Christmas in my hometown with my mom although we were a bit sad to miss the snow on the east coast. For the last two years, we’ve spent Christmas with my sexy man’s fam out in NJ...

A note about safety

Posted on December 08, 2009
We are getting ready to go on this big sailing trip, you know, and two of the most common questions people ask us are: - Is it safe? - Are you scared? And – yes it is safe, and no I’m NOT scared of going sailing – for lots of reasons I won’t go into here – but [...

Wrapping up the SF life & some reflection

Posted on December 08, 2009
So, we’ve officially given notice on our apartment and all our jobs. As of Dec. 18, we will both be unemployed and as of January 3, we will be out of our little studio and moved onto the boat! Our apartment looks more bare everyday and in the midst of the chaos, I feel a [...

Updating my resume ? a different approach

Posted on December 01, 2009
I’ve been reading a book called “The Right to Write” by Julia Cameron. It’s a FABULOUS book for those, like me, who have been, can be and are undeniably driven to write. The book is not about writing for money or publishing or fame or anything material – it simply talks about writing for the [...

Just like a baby

Posted on November 24, 2009
Tonight my sexy man and I got into an argument. It was dumb in some ways, not so much in others, but what I noticed (although not for the first time) was how I hold my breath when I get upset. The first time I realized that I did this was when my dad was [...

Sometimes we?re brilliant??.

Posted on November 17, 2009
and sometimes we’re not. For a lawyer and a physicist, the decision to put pizza dough onto a manila folder and load it with toppings before attempting to slide it onto a pizza stone was certainly not the brightest idea we’ve ever had. I’m even creating a “stupid ideas” category just for this...

Easily amused?

Cure for the Overactive Imagination?

Posted on November 06, 2009
I am queen of the overactive imagination. And my imagination gets particularly active at really inconvenient times like, say, when we are out in the middle of nowhere, high up in the mountains, with no one to see or hear us for miles. Of course, those cold, dark evenings are when my brain kicks into [...

So much for new radar :)

It?s Monday night and I?m watching Matt gently slice a cucumber. His eyes are twinkling with delight and he?s giddy with excitement. ?WOW! Look at this! This is AWESOME.? He holds up the shiny new $300 chef?s knife he purchased the day before at Sur La Table and runs his finger along the blade again...

On Poor Eyesight & a Lesson from my Dad

Posted on October 30, 2009
Last night, I pulled into the local gas station to fill up the car. As I?m removing the gas cap, a young boy dressed in an over-sized basketball jersey and holding a large box, approached me. ?Excuse me ma?am,? he begins, his voice already dragging with obligation and boredom...

All that is very very right and very very wrong in this world

Today, a good friend of mine from law school was offered a position as an attorney for the International Justice Mission. IJM is an organization that sends US attorneys all over the world to assist with prosecuting international human rights crimes. My friend A will be moving to Mumbai in the near future to work with local [...

A show of true commitment

Posted on October 28, 2009
So, as of December 18, I will no longer be gainfully employed as an office manager or a panel attorney. I talked to HR, our CEO, and my supervisor today at work and will be sending a letter to CCAP in a few days. This is the first major step *I* have taken towards fully committing to [...

Goin? to the Chapel?

Posted on September 25, 2009
Woo hoo!! It’s finally here… Posts will be intermittent (if at all) since tonight we start the big cross-country drive back east for the wedding. We’ll be gettin’ hitched, sayin’ goodbye to our awesome X-terra (just for now) and will be taking a huge leap towards our big sailing adventure...

My Sailing Blog!

Posted on September 24, 2009
For those of you who care to know more about our sailing adventure, check out my new blog (gotta have one, right??) – WeatherHelmed. The tone of it is different, more fun and lighthearted and it’s all about getting ready for and taking off on our boat trip! [...

Pure Chaos

Posted on September 24, 2009
Oh life has been fun lately… Our priorities have been so conflicted. I finally decided that, since the court is the only one that can really get upset with me, I should turn in that ridiculously long-lingering opening brief that has been looming over my head for the past five months...

It?s a Marvelous Night for a Moondance

Posted on September 20, 2009
especially because I have a SUPER CUTE sign from Etsy Shop “Adropinthebucket” to put either at the front of the house for people to see when they first arrive or to hang just outside the tent as people enter. (the Van Morrison quote was on the front of our wedding invites) Love it!!! [...
