Law School P.S.

Posted on October 11, 2008
Remember the other night when I was mentioning what a law school slacker I have become in the face of all of this stress? Well those two papers I had to finish? Got the top mark possible (check +). I’m going to liken it to being super-late to work when you leave [...

TGIF/S/S/

Posted on October 11, 2008
Hooray for the weekend. It has been a long week at work, in life, etc. But guess what I have to look forward to next week? Wine with Ana and another anonymous local law blogger. Last night I had a date with my best boy, Pumpkinhead. We went to [...

Torn Up

Posted on October 08, 2008
Remember when I tied my stomach in knots? Yeah, I’m having that pain again.* Could it be from the two hours I spent at the doctor’s office this morning being poked, prodded and analyzed to figure out what to do about the neuropathic pain and numbness that returned about three weeks [...

Great Palin Post

Posted on October 07, 2008
There is a very heartfelt and well-written perspective on Sarah Palin’s candidacy over at A Woman’s Worth. An excerpt: “As Gloria Steinem said in a recent Los Angeles Times editorial, ?Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman...

Save Second Base

Posted on October 07, 2008
Only a few hours left in the annual blogger Boobiethon where female (and male) bloggers share their best ta-ta pics and raise money for breast cancer research. Go check out the boobies and help raise money for the cure. If nothing else, let this be a reminder to do your monthly self exam...

P.S.

Posted on October 06, 2008
For those of you who e-mailed to ask, no, Chapin did not call to have me book his plane ticket. I am soooooo glad I didn’t tell Pumpkinhead that he was coming back. Should have known he was full of shit. Actually, I still think he may. I just think he [...

Who’d Have Thought?

Posted on October 06, 2008
So I guess I should talk a bit about law school, per my recent rant about wanting to get this blog refocused on that journey. So what happens when, just before your 2L year, you get divorced, have major surgery, emotionally breakdown, continue to struggle with evil neuropathic pain and have an awesome job [...

Men are from Mars

Posted on October 06, 2008
My favorite new bloggess, T, sent me over to Manslations today to check out the hilarious advice column written by Jeff Mac. This one, about the imbalance between male and female expectations and understandings was my favorite. Chapin never did understand why a girl likes flowers, an unexpected gift or a sexy midday [...

Wild Weekend - TMI

Posted on October 05, 2008
This weekend was one of the most eventful I’ve had in a while. Blue Eyes’ mother saw me naked, the words “tap that ass” came out of my mouth, I learned more about female-on-horse porn than I could ever have wanted to know, I got hit on by a super-drunk Mexican and I got [...

Can I live in here?

You bring the wine, I’ll bring the whine.

Happy Tears

Posted on October 03, 2008
So I finally emptied my DVR of almost a month of “Al Diablo Con Los Guapos” episodes. I am loving the ending. So sweet, touching and romantic. I hated Carla and the kiss between her and Hugo in the hospital room was sooooo sweet. Yay for soap operas that [...

The Return

Posted on October 02, 2008
Got an unexpected phone call this morning. The caller ID flashed “Unknown.” I was late for work and itching to run back into my room for one last goodbye kiss with Blue Eyes before he headed off to pre-op for another procedure and possible surgery tomorrow...

Blog Refocus

Posted on October 01, 2008
I love you, dear blog readers, I really do. But I’m starting to get a little sick of myself. DivorceCare last weekend talked about anger and how we mirror it to others to the point where no one really wants to be around that toxic bitterness. I’d like to look up this [...

Up, Down, Up, Down

Fun with Palin

Posted on September 29, 2008
Just so I can have these for posterity (or giggle time). And for those who didn’t catch SNL last night. Last week’s:

Complimented

Posted on September 29, 2008
A man paid me an unexpected compliment today and I’m still smiling. I already felt good today, wearing one of my favorite tops and a great necklace. I’d already heard from a few female coworkers that I looked nice but there is nothing like an unexpected compliment from a stranger...

Six Questions

Posted on September 29, 2008
Dad Gone Mad is asking six great questions on his blog. I’m stealing and sharing them with you. Answer them there, answer them here, but share. 1. There?s something you?ve always dreamed of doing, but you haven?t done it because you think you lack the time, money, or support to [...

Happy

Posted on September 28, 2008
I had an excellent weekend. Spent Friday night hanging with Pumpkinhead and watching Star Wars. Saturday afternoon was swimming with Pumpkinhead and getting a mani/pedi with my Mom. Then Saturday night I went out with a good friend who I’ve been trying to meet up with for a while now (other side [...

This Week’s Theme Songs

Posted on September 28, 2008
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I am a music nut. Think that life has many theme songs. Here are this week’s.

Time Flies

Posted on September 27, 2008
Pumpkinhead and I went over to Blue Eyes’ house tonight now that his power is finally back on, the sewage has stopped flowing on the street outside, and he’s scrubbed his fridge from top to bottom. Pumpkinhead ran in, plopped down on the couch with the dog and asked to watch Star Wars...

Worst Dates Ever

Posted on September 27, 2008
I was recently asked to recall my worst dates ever and apparently I had some doozies. I’d forgotten about these until I had to really think about it. What are some of yours? Any lessons learned? Here are mine: 1) The guy that asked me out to dinner and then took me to a [...

Thursday

Posted on September 25, 2008
Woke up in a much better mood this morning. Pumpkinhead was cheery. He asked to call Chapin and the man actually answered, made his son giggle hysterically and then {wa-hoo} hung up. I think he’s finally getting it. Got the psych report back...

Awesome posts

Posted on September 25, 2008
I read two wonderful single mom posts this week. The first was a romantic tale that melted my heart (second and third paragraphs). The second was more spiritually thought-provoking and I really related to it. Just had to share.

Melancholy

Posted on September 24, 2008
I don’t know what I want, so don’t ask me Cause I’m still trying to figure it out Don’t know what’s down this road, I’m just walking Trying to see through the rain coming down Even though I’m not the only one Who feels the way I do I’m alone, on my own, and that’s all I know I’ll be strong, I’ll [...

Traumatized

Posted on September 24, 2008
The last 24 hours have been amazingly Murphy’s Law-ish. Mid-Very Important Conference Call, the cable goes out which means no Internet. Meanwhile all the batteries on the house phones have been dying one by one (not holding charges) so I had gone through three in an hour and the last one died right [...

Stuporific

Posted on September 23, 2008
Well it has been a long day. After getting here at 5:30 a.m., then many hours of waiting in a room filled with cranky people, wicked loud cell phones that no one seemed to want to/know how to answer, and broken vending machines/bathrooms to foil any snacking/peeing plans I may have had, Blue Eyes [...
