Divorcee Saturday Night

Posted on November 29, 2008
Stretched out on my couch. Dressed in black lace, red panties and a silk robe. A Susie Bright anthology at my side. Candles burning softly in the background. Strong, sweet man on his way over. Ex-husband calls to tell me that the cell phone plan we thought we’d split into two separate [...

Thankful

Posted on November 28, 2008
Thanksgiving was lovely. Spent a great day with my family cooking and cleaning and then eating. Made banana bread with no nuts (yay!) and a splash of mandarin orange essence yum!). Dinner was lamb, turkey, steamed green beans, diet coke jello salad, roasted potatoes, cauliflower and candied something I didn’t eat...

The Great Green Bean Thanksgiving Post

Posted on November 27, 2008
My super-hawt fellow MILP (hell, we are all super hawt - if you haven’t seen us IRL with our awesome Mommy racks, you are missing out!), Trannyhead, challenged her readers to write about the most delicious of topics, Green Beans. If you have never had green beans, I suggest you go over to TrannyHead’s [...

Feeling much better than I was on Monday night. It is 12:20 a.m., my room is clean and smells delicious thanks to the orange oil I use to dust, and I am ready for bed. I managed to finish my presentation and deliver it smoothly (yay!). Forty percent of my grade down, [...

Is ADHD a gift?

Posted on November 26, 2008
There is an article in the New York Times today that addresses the fact that many children with ADHD have the ability to concentrate very well on one or two things at which they excel. The example held out is Michael Phelps. The Times article examines whether it is that kids do well [...

Men!

Posted on November 24, 2008
Batting for the other team is starting to look more and more appealing, except women are moody. I should know. I am one. And moody is definitely my state of mind. I spent all day at home and, except for napping, got very little done. I was supposed to get [...

Harumph

Posted on November 24, 2008
Took Pumpkinhead to behavioral therapy this morning. At 6:15 a.m.! UGH. Somehow no one had told the doctor that Chapin was back. Oops!! $140 and 45 minutes later we were on our way to daycare… where I found out that “fully covered” really means “fully covered for all [...

Help Needy Children

Posted on November 24, 2008
Earlier this year, Matt Logelin lost his beautiful young wife to a pulmonary embolism mere hours after she gave birth to their adorable first child, Madeline. Matt has bravely shared his struggle with the world during these first few months of fatherhood and has received a huge outpouring of love and support from the [...

Check Yes or No

Posted on November 23, 2008
Taking a break and stumbled upon this, which I think should be provided to all men after, say, the third date. Unlike me, who obviously has No Filter Whatsoever, men seem to be horrible at expressing their feelings (except the negative ones). I think that the Mad Libs version of romantic expression might [...

On my Mind

Posted on November 23, 2008
Hawt, no? He’s taking me out to lunch for Indian. More procrastination… But, considering the typical law school grading process, does it really matter?!? See Concurring Opinion’s Guide to Law School Grading Super-cute, right? Second-best Australia-to-US import (after Heath Ledger) Stress relief, but it would make me sleep - not good Will my spreadsheet project ever end? Hasn’t it healed nicely?

OCD…and embracing it

Posted on November 23, 2008
Butterflyfish totally pegged me when she said I remind her of the character in this comic she reads. I read a “Sweet Valley High” book once where one of the characters died after trying cocaine for the first time. I’ve always thought that would be me...

Sunday Stealing

Running out of ways to procrastinate so I’m going to do a little Sunday Stealing before I dive into Indonesian anti-corruption law. Sunday Stealing: The Favorite Meme Fill in your favorite for each of the following: 1. Political show: Meet the Press 2...

Totally Hawt Weekly MILP Roundup #73

Posted on November 23, 2008
TrannyHead is guest hosting the Weekly MILP MILF Roundup because New Duck and Butterflyfish have been taken captive by NaBloMoFo fever and I am a Hawt Mess, hiding in bed and eschewing all responsibility. The Weekly MILP (Moms in the Legal Profession) Roundup is the brainchild of Saramel (retired)...

Thanksgiving

Posted on November 23, 2008
Time for my first post-divorce holiday. My brother is coming. Last time he was here, my mother had a heart attack right after kicking him out. Apparently he has “changed”. We will see… Send good vibes for NO DEATH, ILLNESS or KNOCK-DOWN DRAG OUTS! My best friend and Pumpkinhead’s [...

Holiday Money Savings

Posted on November 22, 2008
So the holiday season is upon us and many people are trying to figure out how to celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah without breaking the bank. Here are a few ideas: Bosses/Coworkers: Donations: I know some people think this sucks but I think it’s a great idea...

Law School Break

Posted on November 22, 2008
My medical leave of absence was granted. I will be off all spring (if I can finish this semester without hurting myself!), but they are requiring me to return next summer to make up at least one class I missed last summer. Damn it. Oh well, I am looking forward to the [...

Men!

Posted on November 22, 2008
Chapin called today to set up a time to meet on Saturday and go to Sprint to split our cell phones. We also still need to split insurance and he needs to give me the darn truck to sell. Anyway, he called and said, “I have a big favor to ask. Can [...

Almost painless

Posted on November 22, 2008
So Chapin came over tonight and we headed out to Sprint with Pumpkinhead to get Chapin off my cell phone plan. We were sharing a 2100 minute/month plan, of which he used the majority because of his job. Last month he spent $42 texting his 14 year-old girlfriend in Guatemala (yes, I know, PUKE!)...

I adore Gmail

Posted on November 20, 2008
Can I just say that I love, love, love all things Google and have since forever. Nothing like searching your e-mail by words just to find something. I send EVERYTHING to my Gmail account. Just today I searched it for a copy of my divorce decree and for a copy of Pumpkinhead’s [...

Busy Bee

Posted on November 19, 2008
These are views of all the piles of stuff on my desk. I have two papers, a presentation and an exam in the next few weeks and I am SWAMPED at work. Trying to get off my butt and go to class, fending off the strong desire to stay here at home and [....

You know you want one…

I ordered two of the t-shirts I had designed in Spreadshirt and they came today. Yay! Here I am modeling one for you: The second one:

Calm

Posted on November 19, 2008
Made it to class and then left a few minutes early to get to my masseuse by 8. My mother is sponsoring weekly stress relief from now until finals (yay Mom!) and my masseuse agreed to charge the $39 half-hour rate if I come weekly for an hour. I am a wet noodle [...

Racing Mind

Posted on November 18, 2008
Butterflyfish sent me a link to this comic today. She pretty much nailed it when she said it reminded her of me. I’m not really OCD like this but if you take a problem (or all of them), this is kind of how my mind spins out of control and into a super-anxious [...

Better Day

Posted on November 18, 2008
Spent some quality time relaxing with Blue Eyes last night and woke up much more relaxed today. Laid off the Buspar today. Managed to hold it together. Went to therapy and took care of several To Do items, including a waaayyyy past due invoice for some freelancing work...

Ugh

Posted on November 17, 2008
Made it through Monday with just a few tears. I talked to my boss and, for once, got some praise! He told me he has every confidence in my abilities, that he was fine with me taking time off law school and that he wants me to do whatever I need for [...
