It's been quite a year

Posted on December 31, 2007
In a phone conversation last night, a friend said "wow, you have really had a horrible year." I thought woah, wait, huh, no...I've had a great year. I guess things lately have been less than rosey and that has tainted what was arguably one of the best years of my life...

Holiday reflections

Posted on December 25, 2007
Five days at Disney with the family...very different as an adult...disappointed by an old friend...so much love for my nieces...Ann Marie is me...Jessie cuddles up on my chest...family interactions give me insight into myself...Return home to work...wow, DC is home now...

We love our football!

Posted on December 21, 2007
This is priceless!I, personally, am working on a super-important brief due the following day. Perhaps I should notify my team that I will be unavailable the evening before.

I am alive

Posted on December 16, 2007
Sorry for the absence guys, I went on a pre-Christmas vacation and completely forgot to update the health status before my departure.I am still battling this post-op infection. For those keeping track, we are at 3.5 weeks now. Still on antibiotics, still have a scar-tissue-infection bump on my jaw, bump is still pressing on the nerve which means I still have no feeling in my bottom lip or chin...

Misery

Posted on November 29, 2007
I can admit when I am wrong. (I can also find ways to shift blame...stupid doctor!) So, my brilliant plan to schedule oral surgery right before Thanksgiving to avoid missing work...well, that fell through. In fact, today is Thursday (one week and one day since surgery) and not only did I miss Thanksgiving, but I still have not returned to work...

No Turkey for you!

Posted on November 20, 2007
Actually, no turkey for me.I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. The day before Thanksgiving. Before you say "oh, you poor thing" like everyone else, I should tell you that I am looking forward to this.I will not have to travel on the busiest travel days of the year...

Inspiring

Posted on October 26, 2007
I am inspired by people. Not all people, of course, but some people. I like to look around and take note of what I can learn from others. Sometimes I watch strangers and just wonder what it is that they could bring into my life if I knew them. This also helps me to appreciate the amazing people I do have in my life...

Well that's annoying

Posted on October 23, 2007
I got a 7:30 AM phone call this morning! Normally, this would be a dire emergency in my life. Family, work, friend, etc. It was a lady from the doctor's office about an appointment I had three weeks ago. I got a tad nervous.Her: "Ms. B, I am calling in reference to your appointment on October 1...

(Alternative title: Why my attorney photo is going to rock.)It's 10:35am on October 17, 2007.I'm sitting at my desk trying to get some work done when an outlook pop up reminds me that my attorney photo will be taken in 15 minutes. I put on some lipstick, check the mirror and hope that my hair is okay...

BAR WARS

While we wait with baited breath, at least we are entertained. This is downright amazing!Thanks to the Floridian over at JDUnderground for the heads up:-)

Results

I'm freaking out with the rest of you. Once this 2,539 pound weight is lifted from my shoulders, perhaps I can get it together to post something here. Until then, I will just keep pushing refresh.

Australia (post-Sydney)

Posted on September 20, 2007
After we left Sydney (with new Camera in tow), we headed north to CAIRNS. Not sure how or why we got it in our head that a trip to Cairns meant beachy time, but there are not actually any beaches there. Well, there was a big man-made lagoon with large metal fish but the nearest beaches were a 30 minute bus ride and they really weren't all that...

One of the more amazing things I saw on vacation

Posted on September 17, 2007
About an hour or so of the coast of north Australia......after snorkeling over the Great Barrier Reef with Nemo......upon returning to the boat......the nice bartender man shows me this......in a can. Simply amazing.

Home sweet home

Posted on September 16, 2007
After 44 days with 15 flights to 8 countries, I am back in the U. S. of A. I had the most memorable six weeks of my life but it is really good to be home. I don't start working for a week, so have some time to organize pictures and process my thoughts...

Bleave me

Posted on September 07, 2007
Gee, now the keyboard is all in Greek. And I thought Turkey was bad. Actually, Turkey was nice. Quite nice.Due to "snafu" at the airport (read: we were a day late for our flight out of Dubai), our time in Istanbul was cut short. I had just enough time to meet a nice Turkish boy, have our first date, meet each others friends, have our first fight, have him tell me that he loves me and ask me to marry him...

Dubai is heaven

Posted on August 28, 2007
Honestly, after 4 days in Delhi, I'm pretty sure anywhere would be heaven right now, but Dubai has been good to us so far. We only arrived last night but were quick to notice the stark contrast. I am going to be honest and say that right now, money is surely buying my happiness...

I am alive

Posted on August 22, 2007
I am soooo sorry. (Especially to those of you who have emailed concerned about my lack of posting.) I am alive and doing just fine, but sweating buckets. I am typing this from a tiny internet cafe in Chiang Mai. Since everything on the screen (minus my writing) is in odd characters, I have no idea if this will work or not...

G'day from Australia!

Posted on August 11, 2007
Wow. Sydney. Not sure where to begin. How about night one when my trip was colored a little grey by the theft of my camera. My really nice camera. My camera with pictures of Hawaii and the Sydney Harbour from the airplane. Yep, stolen right off my table at the bar...

Mahalo Hawai'i

Posted on August 06, 2007
When K and I arrived in Honolulu, we were actually quite surprised at the lack of stereotypical Hawai'i. No one met us at the airport with leis. No beautiful women were hula dancing. In fact, since we arrived so late on Wednesday, we had dinner at a pizza place as we watched hookers mulling around in front of us...

The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow!

Posted on July 31, 2007
Too bad I won't really be seeing the sun tomorrow since I'll be on planes all day long. However, when the sun comes out Thursday, I'll be there to soak up those rays on a beach in Honolulu. For the next six weeks, I'm on vacation. A real true vacation...

Decompression

Posted on July 28, 2007
Wow.As one of my dear friend's away message says right now "there are no words." There really are not. But I'll try. I've been decompressing and talking things over with other fellow bar exam takers and one thing is certain, we all feel pretty much the same...
