Dentist
I like my dentist a lot. Mind you I hate going to the dentist but if I have to go I like to go to this one. I like him so much that I drive 45 minutes each way to see him. I got a bright n early this morning for an 8 am visit. Imagine my surprise when they had called everyone else’s name and I was sitting in the office for 15 minutes wondering when it would be my turn. I looked down at...

Airport Musings
I got to the airport at 530 am this morning for a 9 am flight. Sounds crazy….buttttttt here’s the issue. I had to get to the airport to make a flight change. The option was leave at 7am and connect or wait until 9am for a direct flight. But I couldn’t switch to the direct flight unless I was at the airport. And there was a chance the flight would be full. It wasn’t. ...

What a Difference a Year Makes
Tonight last year (on the Jewish calendar), I sat at the hospital with my mom. I had planned to be at temple, celebrating the Jewish new year, but a dark room combined with my dad’s unsteady feet had other plans. A year ago, I sat with my mom, still grieving the loss of my grandmother, and faced with a new challenge: a dad with a broken hip and Parkinson’s disease. I really,...

An open letter to America
You don’t know the first thing about coaching NFL football. Find somehing better to do with your 10 grand than buying a billboard telling the coach we want Tebow. We don’t.
And we want a team and an o-line. Second new coach as many seasons. Let him put the team together. Take that 10 grand and send me on a vacay. K thanks.

Dead animals. Ew.
This weekend on a hike I saw a leg of a deer. Like the dear was killed by a bear. If bears kill dear. Then today I found a dead mouse in my closet. I may be tumblring instead of disposing of it. Because he thought of touching it kills me.

Deep Thoughts Friday
haygirlhay:
Why are the people who post bible verses/inspirational quotes as their facebook status always the people who are out there doing shitty things?
Hey there, girl who can’t stop cheating on her boyfriends, looks like the serenity prayer is really guiding your life.
I’m so glad Gandhi is your moral compass, dude who sells illegal scrips.

This is computer #4. Its fun to think of the memories I’ve had with the old ones. Get ready for a post once my new computer arrives!
Weekend.
This morning I got up late. And I threw in a load of laundry and made breakfast. And then, realizing how late I was, hopped into my car. Without my laptop that is my lifeblood at work. Seriously, I don’t know how people did legal work before the computer. So my 20 minute commute really was an hour.
This weekend is packed with fun— bbqs, game nights, brewery openings (oh hey...
Hey! John Elway!

Bad days
If you know me (or read my blog) you know I hate bad days. But really believe in them.
Tonight I was surrounded by the professionals who make my career honorable. Smart, ethical, diligent and friendly. I’ve been disheartened by a number of my adversaries over the past month. But being surrounded by these professionals tonight reminded of the good. The good work we do and are capable...

Why First Year Associates Shouldn't Have Dogs
Today was supposed to be an easy day. I was at the office for 15 hours. That’s a lot you guys.
Headed home to hit the hay and return to the office in 9.
I didn’t have time to eat dinner myself. Good thing doodle is at her grand parents again.
Good for her. But going home and not having the joy of puppy love makes me sad.

Uh ohhhh.
About 4 and a half years ago my computer crashed. It got super sick the morning of one of my exams and littered through.
Dell gave me a free new one. The one I had for about 7 months was a lemon if there ever was one. A new harddrive crashed within hours of installing it. 6 hours of being on hold later (no joke) I had a free brand new computer coming my way.
Today my trusty computer that...

I found myself crumpled in a ball at my parents house yeasterday afternoon sobbing as I left my dog there. Turns out the life of a first year associate is really, really hard. I worked about a ln 80 hour week last week and the only end in sight is labor day weekend. Which means I’ve been eating every meal out. Imbalanced, unhealthy and expensive. I’ve been not getting enough sleep,...

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? →

You know who doesn’t give a fuck anymore? The University of Oxford styleguide:
As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’.
This topic came up on a conference call today and I screamed, “VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Yes, I vocally used that many exclamation points.
I love the Oxford comma...

Hot yoga
I went to a new hot yoga class today. Normally I hate flow but this claw had a little bit of flow and it was amazing.
One of my besties had to put her cat down this morning. She texted to tell me and I started crying. I figured if I was that sad she was a mess. So I called her and talked to her. And she was so thankful. We laughed about how the cat used to drink the water out of my fish bowl. #friendsoverthebillablehour. #imallergicbuticare

A mere five days ago I got a sunburn. Yesterday it snowed. This weather is nuts but I’m in love.
Today I stopped grieving and started embracing. I celebrated and shed tears of joy. And I realized that even though my dad deals with an awful disease that I’m the LUCKIEST girl in the world. I want to bottle up this joy.

Oops.
This morning I sent an email to the boy who no longer deserves that title but needs a new one. Or so I thought I sent him an email. Nope. Instead sent he email to a writer in LA with the same name. We had a pretty funny email exchange about it and I promised him I’d watch his show. Haha.

Dress Help
Dearest Tumblr Community.
I have a big blues themed casual evening party coming up in about a month. There will be friends and family. Now here’s where you come in. I need an outfit. I want it to go with the theme but not be over the top jazz/bluesish. No idea where to start. Any thoughts?
