If Pumpkinhead was on Twitter

Posted on April 09, 2009
ModernSingleMomma did a post today about what her two year-old would sound like on Twitter. Well my son is way more hyper and verbal at almost-six (wow!) so his day on Twitter would probably go something like this. @ptlawmom Mommy, can I snuggle with you? @ptlawmom Mommy, can you be my teacher today so you don’t [...

A Name?

Posted on April 07, 2009
Well Mr. Perfect puts him up on a pedestal (heh) and The Guy With No Blog Name is too long so, for now, until I can get more creative and perhaps I’m going to call him Mr V. It’s not very creative but I’m sick with an icky virus tonight and creativity isn’t my [...

Time to Rethink the Legal Profession?

Posted on April 05, 2009
The New York Times has an editorial today pondering whether it’s time to overhaul the legal profession, from curriculum reform to lowering tuition to lowering salaries at BigLaw firms to a more “realistic” market rate. I’m all for lower law school tuition and more practical, useful curriculum, such as that offered by Susan Cartier-Liebel [...

The Guy With No Blog Name

Posted on April 05, 2009
I had a second date with the Guy With No Blog Name tonight. I really like him. No question marks. No red flags. No concerns. And it scares the HELL out of me. And I don’t want to hear you all saying “slow down, don’t get ahead of yourself...

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-04-05

Swoon

Posted on April 02, 2009
I had a really, really nice night out. It was unlike any first date I’ve ever had. For starters, we didn’t have sex. Yes, I know…. But seriously, this is a GOOD, sweet man with standards and values (well, except for his naughty texting alter-ego - hahaha)...

My Dad the Silent Thief

Posted on March 31, 2009
My father has possession of my Big Ass Truck and won’t give it back. And he put my life at risk to do it (see the end of this post). I should have known he would do this. He’s been doing this kind of thing my whole life. Every single [...

Would you date yourself?

Posted on March 29, 2009
A while back, Ms. Single Mama posed the question, would you date yourself? Work in progress though I may be, yes, I would date myself. None of us are perfect and we are constantly changing. I’ve never understood people who wait to have children until everything is “just right” because, really, when [...

Calm?

Posted on March 29, 2009
Oh, I feel soooooo much better! I had the most amazing weekend. My friend and I had a blast, just relaxing, talking, hanging out and having fun. We walked around town, did a little window shopping, ate delicious food, had some wine, watched a movie, and just basically shut the world out [...

Relaxing

Posted on March 28, 2009
I made it to my destination. Just the 3.5-hour drive from my town to this town was relaxing. I put my headphones on, plugged into my iPod and sang at the top of my lungs. Stopped once for a bottle of water and a latte at Starbucks. Drove slow because I [...

Ready for the Weekend

Posted on March 27, 2009

What Meyers-Brigg Style is your Blog Persona?

Posted on March 26, 2009
Ha. T found a tool that analyzes your blog to figure out what your “blog persona’s” personality type is. I’d say they got it partially right, except I am definitely a planner - control issues. ESFP - The Performers The entertaining and friendly type...

Contra la Corriente - for Dads House

Posted on March 25, 2009
Over at Dads House, David is tempting us with the lovely Gloria Estefan and her beautiful voice and body singing with Marc Anthony to Mi Tierra. I told him that I’ve always been a huge Marc Anthony fan (in Spanish, not so much the English stuff)...

Can you keep a secret?

Posted on March 24, 2009
I am so excited I just want to cry (again - ugh!) Today my son came home with a super-secret note from his teacher. It said the following: Dear [PT-LawMom]: I have chosen [Pumpkinhead} to receive the boy's character award for our class for this 9 weeks...

Ultimate Blog Party

Posted on March 23, 2009
Welcome readers from 5 Minutes for Mom’s Annual Ultimate Blog Party. Last year’s celebration was a lot more fun around here. This year’s been a bit of a downer as I recover from a divorce last summer and try to find “me” and learn to be okay with being single after eight years [...

OTC Morning-After Pill

Posted on March 23, 2009
The NY Times reports that a Federal Judge ruled today that the FDA must relax restrictions on the morning-after pill and offer it to girls as young as 17 without a prescription. However, it does still have to be offered behind pharmacy counters. While I agree that the behind-counter measure provides some sort [...

Life

Posted on March 22, 2009
Its midnight, I’m running a fever, still can’t stop crying (even though I was feeling better this morning now I’m just super depressed and being sick doesn’t make it any better), so I figured I’d update you on the other things going on in my life so that you wouldn’t think it was all revolving [...

Conflicting Advice

Posted on March 22, 2009
A few weeks ago, John Gray’s Mars/Venus blog was telling me to get out there and date because you can only figure out what you want/don’t want if you enjoy life and don’t take things so seriously. Today he says I have to move beyond negativity first...

Top Five Lists

Posted on March 22, 2009
GoogieBaba is challenging us to list the top five men and women we would sleep with if we had the chance. Well, I guess if I had the chance, if I could control what they did and said (sometimes the answer there would be for them to shut up!), etc., then these would be [...
