Semi-Navigating The Doldrums
In high school, college and even in law school, we had a Spring Break. It fell during the period between Christmas/New Year’s Eve and Easter … a welcome breather to break up the loooooong stretch of time between, well… breaks. Now that I’m out in “the real world” I crave a Spring Break. This long [...]
When My Bankroll is Getting Small…
One of my favorite Christmas movies is Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. (Lord help me if they ever try to remake THAT.) I love the silly plot lines, I love the happy endings, and I love the music. If you haven’t seen the movie, at one point, Bing Crosby’s character is singing to Rosemary Clooney. The [...]
Lies, Bills and Punching Bags
I’m sorry. I did something this week I sort of promised myself I wouldn’t do. I sat down to write on Wednesday and I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t put into words what I was going through and so I just talked about J. And then I did the same thing on Thursday. Because [...]
Shades of Gray
In the summer after my freshman year of college, I became obsessed with black and white photography. I had a Canon EOS Rebel (pre-digital era, y’all) and I would buy the black and white film and prance around with my camera on a long camera strap around my neck. Black and white photography made me [...]
I am NOT a supermodel.
On Friday, I was fortunate enough to have a hair appointment at 3:00. I say that I was fortunate for several reasons, the least of which is my actual hair. See, I had to take J to work with me on Friday. He was running a high fever and was stuck to me like velcro. [...]
Trust me
As an attorney, people put a lot of trust in what I have to say. When I give them answers, they usually trust that I know what I’m talking about. When I make a suggestion, they trust it’s the right one. In short, people invest a lot of trust in me. A lot of trust. [...]
Playing Catch Up
There are three words that I have learned to despise when they appear at the start of any sentence in any conversation. Those three words? “Does your son…” Or, in the alternative “does your kid” or “Does J” or whatever… you get the picture. The reason I hate them? I am never prepared. Take, for [...]
Decisions, Decisions
I have a lot of decisions to make. As the year comes to a close, I have to make some difficult decisions about where my life is heading and where my career is heading. And I don’t know how to make those decisions. Because when I went to law school, I wanted to be this [...]
True Confessions
I have a confession to make. One that terrifies me to say out loud but one that I’m going to share with you anyway. It’s been on my mind for a while now, pretty much since I was approximately 18 weeks pregnant with J. What is it? Glad you asked. I’m scared to have another [...]
