The Last Study Meal
Sunday, February 24th, 2008In honor of what I hope will be the last time I will spend a Sunday afternoon in my office studying for the Bar Exam:
About 36 hours to go until game time…

Bibelot
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008Yesterday, I received a very kind gift. And not just any gift. But the gift came in the mail (few things are more thrilling than receiving a package!) and it was from Ehlan, who knows one of my favorite stores on earth is Bibelot.
So when this box arrived, I was estactic:
And better yet, the box […]
Subconscious self-doubt
Thursday, February 21st, 2008In the weeks leading up to the wedding, nightmares invaded any chance of soundful sleep. The nightly scenarios involved things like Josh showing up without his suit, the invitations never being sent, and always, me standing at the end of the aisle in my classic white hoodie because I was unable to locate my wedding dress.
Of course, when the real […]
The final stretch…one week to go
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008In just one week, I will be done with Day 1 of the California Bar Exam. I took this week off from work to memorize, finalize, and perfect any necessary remaining nuances. So much information. So much to memorize! It’s starting to become late in the day, and my brain is feeling a little fried. Kinda […]
A treat from my Valentine…
Friday, February 15th, 2008As a follow-up from my earlier post, look at what was on the kitchen counter when I arrived home:
When I got a little closer I could then see:
How freakin’ adorable is that! He admitted that he had never baked a cake before. This is his first one. Can you beleive that? And it tastes amazingly […]
No love for the California Bar Exam
Thursday, February 14th, 2008It’s Valentine’s Day.
From my office window, I’ve watched the rain beat down endlessly all afternoon. Most likely, right now, Josh is at home on our red couch, curled up in his pajamas with one of the dogs. And I am here, about to write an hour-long community property essay.
Of course, I don’t have to stay and […]
Laundry
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008I hate doing laundry. Hate it. Josh hates it too. And unfortunately for him, I’ve recently been pulling the “I’m-too- tired/busy-to-do-laundry-card” and so the chore has fallen into his lap.
Yesterday, he announced he was going to conquer the Mount Everest pile of dirty laundry that has accumulated on our bedroom floor over the past two weeks. […]
Two weeks to go…
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Only two more weeks to go and I’ll be halfway through the morning session on Day 1 of the exam.
Throughout these past few months I have constantly found myself making comparisons between my current situation and my pre-July bar prep situation. Most of these comparisons have been futile, if not entirely pointless, since my current […]
I am SO smart.
Sunday, February 10th, 2008I just completed 12 multiple choice questions on my weakest subject (the dreaded Evidence), and I scored 100%. Yes, it was only 12 questions, but still, 100% on anything evidence-related is a big deal to me.
I can do this!!
Georgia O’Keefe
Sunday, February 10th, 2008I hate paying full-price for wall calendars. Growing up, I always had a Surfrider calendar, a Christmas gift from my brother that was received like clock-work every December. Then the year I started law school, he gave me a Starbucks gift card and that is what I’ve received just about every year since then. (Somehow […]
