I can’t believe it

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

a) Two posts in one day, both before noon.
b) My very first gray hair. Shooting right out of the top of my head like a fairy tale beanstalk.
Under the energy-friendly bathroom  lights, it shone like justice. After eight failed attempts, I yanked it out and left the innocent bystanders scattered on the counter.   I ran […]

Breakfast Sandwich Delicious-ness

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Gawd, I love breakfast sandwiches.
This isn’t a new obsession, but it is one that is constantly repressed due to the high fat/calorie intake that a breakfast sandwich brings to the table. And lately, I’ve been doing a poor job of suppressing the urge. I’ve been qualifying my breakfast sandwich consumption by blaming it on the February […]

The movie, Snakes on a Plane, was one of the worst movies I think I have ever seen. It was one of those that was so awful, it was a bit funny. Perhaps because at the time, it’s plot bordered on ridiculous.
Although after today, I think perhaps the movie wasn’t too far off base. Apparently […]

Burning bush? Nah, how about a magnet!

Terrible Mistake

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Twenty minutes after I uploaded my zen-inspired post below, I ran a google search for “california bar exam 2008″ and  lo and behold I found blogs written by people who are documenting their experiences with re-taking the bar exam.
I clicked on one, thinking it would provide me with some comfort, knowing that I am not […]

Dandelions

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Some mornings are just tough.
I know I have it easy compared to some of you who have little ones that need to be attended to and honestly, I don’t know how you do it. I hit the snooze button five times, then drag myself out of bed, managing to take a shower, put on matching clothes […]
