I'm Famous!

Posted on March 31, 2008
You know you're famous when:1. You're asked by a publisher to read a book and then write a review on your blog. How fun! I'm excited about this. For three reasons: First, I've never been asked to review anything before. Second, it's been awhile since I read a book that wasn't a legal casebook, a legal supplement, or on topics of global governance...

Happy Easter

Changes

Posted on March 21, 2008
I started back on Weight Watchers finally. Although I'm only 5 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight, I need to also take off the 20 pounds of 1L weight. And the 15 pounds of Desk Job weight I packed on when I started as a legal assistant in 2000. And the ten pounds I gained freshman year of college...

Update

Posted on March 16, 2008
I know, I've been neglecting The Blog for awhile now. The semester's been wearing me down, as well as the job search.No word on the WTC internship. (I take that as a "no.") I had an interview with another mid-size insurance defense firm on Thursday after I got back from Florida...

Spring Break

From the hometown rag

Posted on March 07, 2008
The King is alive... and being held in contempt for showing up to a pretrial conference wasted. Sweet.

Interviews

Posted on March 04, 2008
You know your interview isn?t going well when your interviewer starts suggesting other places you should apply. Ugh. She wouldn?t stop telling me how I don?t want the job long enough for me to tell her why I wanted the job and what I wanted to get out of it...

Goings on

Posted on March 02, 2008
I haven't updated in awhile, I've been really busy and just trying to get stuff done.I had a job interview last week, and I have a job offer. It's part time, but that's okay, because that would free me up to do other things. I have an interview this week for an internship with the WTC, which is part time, unpaid...

Things I'm Pissed About

Posted on February 26, 2008
1. The weather. It's cold and raining/snowing, and it's dark and gloomy outside. Bad weather always deteriorates my mood. I'm ready for spring.2. Not sleeping. I've been up since 4am. Enough said.3. Jerk-off lying bastards. After I was lied to about how my former firm had already replaced me, seeing the request for resumes on the job website...

Ice

Posted on February 21, 2008
We got hit with an ice storm today. Not a terrible one like we had a few years ago where the entire city was out of power for nearly a week. But it got us dismissed from school early, of which I'm a big fan, considering I hadn't finished my reading for International Trade, and even though I still had an hour to get it done, it wasn't high on my list of things I wanted to do...

Job hunting

Posted on February 18, 2008
I mailed out seventy resumes last week, with cover letters written specifically for each firm/area of specialty. I've already started getting the rejection letters. At least it isn't personal; they all say, oh sorry, your resume looks great and we would have interviewed you, but we already filled our positions...

New direction

Posted on February 12, 2008
Trying to figure out what to do with myself this summer. I'm papering the town with my resume, but I'm not sure I really want to work at another law firm. I think the collective number of assholes I've worked for, coupled with being dicked over by the only non-asshole lawyers I'd ever worked for, has left me with a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to law firms...

And the grand total is...

Posted on February 09, 2008
$15,562.31. Yup, that's the amount of our medical bills. We have just over $9,000 left to pay. I'm about to do our taxes, so we'll find out how much our refund will cover and how much overtime Husband will have to work to pay off the rest, since I'm no longer employed...

Storms

Posted on February 06, 2008
Crazy storms last night. I'm not generally bothered by them. I've been through two tornadoes, one which ripped through my high school my freshman year (see? prayers do come true). The second never actually hit the building I was in, but touched down nearby...

Snoring away

Posted on February 04, 2008
Glad someone's getting some rest. Not me. Little Gremlin is a growing girl, she's almost 10 pounds now. She decided she needed food every three hours last night, so I'm pooped.I had two doctor's appointments this morning. One for a general physical and get an order for lab work (all that cholesterol and thyroid checking and whatnot), and then to talk about birth control...

Sad

Posted on February 04, 2008
This evening, my teenage neighbor shot himself. The house across the street is roped off by police tape, and the police are still working the crime scene. They believe it was suicide, however. The kid apparently had a lot of problems, but I never thought he was in that bad of shape...

Freaked out

Posted on February 01, 2008
I don't know what to do. Apparently, I don't have a job anymore.I turned in my badge and key card at the office Christmas party just after the baby was born. I had told them I would be back to work in February. I went to visit this week and again reiterated that...

Maybe this water thing ain't so bad after all

Posted on January 30, 2008
Cora actually had a bath where she didn't scream bloody murder the entire time (plus 20 minutes afterwards). She seemed content to kick the water and then try to suck on the wet mat (it's amazing how far she can turn her head... she's like an owl).I just noticed, the thoracotomy scar and the scar from the chest tube are visible here...

I give up

Posted on January 28, 2008
Okay, I'm totally through with actually trying in law school. From now on, I'm just going to fall asleep during my exams, write half as much and turn in the exam 20 minutes early.Yes, that's right. I got my highest grade in law school on my Insurance exam...

Taxation: The Boredom Continues

Boobs (more TMI)

Posted on January 23, 2008
I am horribly traumatized after going evening gown shopping. Cinderella can't go to the ball if her boobs don't fit in her dress. Not that I didn't have such issues before pregnancy. My pre-pregnancy bust size was a 36DD, after all. Now it's like a 40ZZZ or something horrendous...

Water torture

Posted on January 21, 2008
Quick, someone call Amnesty International...

Finding more balance

Posted on January 20, 2008
I was putting away some laundry the other day, which had been piled up in a basket for quite some time, when I found that one of Cora's onesies was ripped in half. Immediately, I was pissed off that our damn dryer was eating clothes again. I marched off to present the evidence to Husband that we need a new dryer (the thing rips up my clothes all the time, tearing off snaps and buttons)...

Blog? What Blog?

Posted on January 17, 2008
Has it really been almost a week since my last post? This week has flown by, and been completely crazy. School, extra-curricular activities, functions, dates, and of course, Cora.Cora: She's now six weeks old. We finally got real smiles yesterday. She was smiley all day, and she is so alert and active...

Keeping it together

Posted on January 12, 2008
The week was pretty exhausting, but good too. I really like my classes, even if a couple will be pretty difficult. My Italian class is going to be a lot more work than I anticipated. It's basically a crash course in Italian, with four semesters of grammar crammed into one class...

Ugh

Posted on January 09, 2008
How do you know when you completely blow a final? Good indicators include:1. Filling up only half the blue book (and you write rather large);2. Finishing 20 minutes early;3. Falling asleep during the final (seriously, I lost a good five minutes there)Good thing I don't care, otherwise I'd be really upset...

Law School? I'm in Law School?

Posted on January 08, 2008
Definitely not ready to be back to school, but it's not all bad so far. I've now had all of my law school classes, and tomorrow I'll have my first Italian grammar class. My favorite class will definitely be Medical Liability. We're watching a movie tomorrow and Monday...

Homecoming (Part 2)

Posted on January 06, 2008
Cora has been sprung! The surgeon said we could take her home today, although he had wanted to keep her one more night for observation. But she's doing great. She's eating well, and most importantly, breathing well. Lots of lost snuggle time to make up for...

Day Twelve

Posted on January 06, 2008
Tonight's nurse is very nice. I was just thinking I was thirsty and should go get something from the cafeteria, and she brings in a pitcher of water. Awesome.Cora's doing well. Husband and I snuck out for a bite to eat and a beer with our friends during shift change, then we came back to the hospital and I took a nap while Husband snuggled with our daughter...

Relearning to Parent

Posted on January 05, 2008
Husband spent last night at the hospital with Cora, who was apparently back to her old self: about 2am she morphs from Sweet Little Bunny to Grumpy Little Gremlin. So, he's home sleeping while I'm on duty at the hospital.Cora's been slightly gremlin-esque today...
