Graduation. Bar Exam. Wedding. Like a coming of age novel, but better.
I love New Year resolutions. Well, perhaps I should clarify. I love making New Year resolutions. I, like so many others, am terrible at actually following through on them. If you are curious as to what my 2008 resolutions were, click here. For the record, I didn’t accomplish any of them, although two of them would […]
…and this is something that I have come aware of during my five week blog writing sabbatical.
This post is to confirm, that yes, I am alive.
And, I have a ton of things to share, but I need to find the time to sit down and write. Please bear with me until April 15th. […]
As 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 […]
After the July bar exam, the month of August was a blur. It was a flurry of pre-wedding activity. A bachelorette trip to Seattle, the selection of reception songs, the printing of the ceremony programs, and the final dress fittings; it consumed the entire month, right up until the onset of the wedding weekend. And […]
Each year, wedged sometime between Christmas and New Year Day, my nine closest girl friends and I gather for “Family Dinner.” Family Dinner is a unique tradition, one which started back in 1997, the year in which we were all young, ambitious and sophmores in high school.
Family Dinner is always the same: each person brings some sort […]
Josh and I are lucky in a few respects. One is that our families celebrate Christmas on different days. Josh’s family does the majority of their celebrating on Christmas Eve while mine is all about Christmas morning.
This is good because we are always able to divide up our time equally and please all parties involved. On the […]
I have no shame. I LOVE Christmas gifts.
That’s not to say that I don’t love the other more benevolent aspects of Christmas. But, the giving and receiving of gifts is an integral part of the holiday and it is one that I am not afraid to say is one of its highlights.
And, the Christmas gift-giving […]
There’s something about nursing homes. Something about them that makes me internally cringe. I really dislike them. It’s the smell, the small quarters, the endless row of wheelchairs lining the hallways. And the feelings that go with them. Loneliness. Desolation. An indefinite permanence.
But, I go.
My grandfather lives in a nursing home. He has lived there for […]
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me six geese a-laying….
What’s better than six geese a-laying? Ghiradelli limited edition Peppermint Bark chocolate squares. Six of ‘em. For dinner.
My entire diet for the past week has consisted of random pumpkin cranberry muffins left in the office lunchroom, eggnog lattes, and a gorgeous […]
It started yesterday around 2:30 PM. I felt tired. So tired. My back ached. I sat at my desk, staring at my computer, watching the minutes tick by on my monitor. I went to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of fresh Starbucks coffee and prayed that it would give me the energy I desparately […]
