Sandy Slaga

After almost ten years of practicing trial law, I left in order to work toward a healthier life balance. The most powerful part of the next two years was caring for my terminally ill father. After Dad died in the fall of 2001, I decided to be a full-time mom for a while before returning to law.

Slaga Law

Posted on December 18, 2007
I’m thrilled to announce that Slaga Law is alive and well. The Slaga Shingle went up last month, and it’s a bumpy ride, so I’m keeping my seatbelt fastened! I’m spending most of my time networking, getting substantive law and administrative details in place and attending appropriate continuing legal education classes...

The Bird and I

Posted on November 21, 2007
Twenty-four. Pounds. That would be the turkey that is currently floating in a brine in a Home Depot bucket which is sitting atop a wrought iron table on my deck. Yes, it’s covered. No, I don’t expect it to be carried off by small animals...

Crotchety Old Lady Alive and Kicking

Posted on October 22, 2007
The Crotchety Old Lady and I have been going at it the past several months about this whole solo law thing. She poked. I ignored. She prodded. I told her she was a few shots shy of a decent mega latte. Well, the Crotchety One and her bony finger are on a [...

Cornfields, Cher & Letting Go

Posted on September 14, 2007
Corn. Lots of it. Early morning in late August, and we are en route to my son’s freshman year in college. And there’s corn. Complete with tassels. You could spot drop a teenager into the middle of one of those fields and it’d be months before he’d surface...

C-Day Minus Three: Dorm Essentials

Posted on August 15, 2007
Choosing which items to buy and/or pack for my son’s rookie foray into post-secondary university housing should be simple. The items should be the ones I, his mother, choose. After all, who knows better what he should have than I, his mother, myself a veteran of communal living quarters in the mid to late ’70s [...

C-Day Minus Four

Posted on August 14, 2007
My eighteen-year-old son leaves for college in four days. Actually, his father, sister and I are leaving with him. We, however, will be returning home. Preparations are going as well as can be expected. My son is counting the days with a gusto that only eighteen-year-old hormones in anticipation of no curfew can exhibit...

Transatlantic Teenagers

Posted on August 01, 2007
I’ve never been to Europe. My husband hasn’t been to Europe since traveling with his German born-and-raised parents to visit family when he was thirteen. Be that as it may, we decided to give our children an opportunity neither of us had...

High School Limbo

Posted on May 21, 2007
Growing up Catholic, there were rules, and there were mysteries. Rules were things like Thou Shall Not Have Impure Thoughts. For the majority of the seventh grade, this was no easy task. “But Sister,” one of my classmates wondered aloud, “what if you can’t help it? Is it still a sin?” “Yes!” Sister [...

Agh! Gotta Get Goals Challenge

Posted on April 11, 2007
I tried covering my ears and singing “La La La La La” but I can still hear Crotchety Old Lady snarling at me to shake the dust out of my neurotransmitters and get with the Gotta Get Goals challenge. Solo Dreamer tagged me, so of course I’ve spent considerable time checking out his goals as well [...

Taking a Risk in Plain View

Posted on April 09, 2007
Sherrie Sisk’s guest post at Susan Carter Liebel’s blog, Build a Solo Practice, LLC, spoke to me. We’re talking, “Girlfriend, I’m talking to you.” Sherrie’s conflicted feelings about starting a solo law practice were met by the sound of her own voice beckoning...
