Planner Prediciment
For a long time I’ve used a school year planner. Then last summer I found what I thought was amazing. An 18 month calendar so I could use it for the crazybar studying semester AND for my life after law school. Fast forward to today: all I want is to buy a new pretty planner but I am stuck. Take note people: don’t make this same mistake!

Jewish Word of the Day: Mitzvah
simplyjess:
The Hebrew word ‘mitzvah’ refers to any act of human kindness or good deed. Mitzvahs come in many forms, under countless names like karma, philanthropy, charity, paying it forward, etc, but really all it means is “Hey, show some love”.
Like in most religions, Jewish children are taught from a very young age how important it is to do a mitzvah every single day, a concept I value more...
Read any good books lately?
I picked up some sad books last time I was at my local library. The Bell Jar and A Thousand Splended Suns—and before that it was A Long Way Down. While I’ve enjoyed them all, it’s time to not read a downer. Any suggestions?
don't judge.
I’m dog sitting for my co-worker. By dog sitting I mean watching her 10 year old cute as a button yorkie and, welp, her mice. Yes. 4 mice. I said it. Well, D has become OBSESSED with them. I’ve been watching the mice for less than a week, and the second D hears them spinning in their wheel she stares at me until I pick her up so she can watch them. Today I got home and she was...
Vail Home Exchange
georgiegirlnyc:
We are spending the week in a condo in Vail while the family who owns the condo spend a week in our apartment enjoying New York. Home exchange win-win! We use the website HomeExchange.com™ to arrange it all. This is our second successful exchange after exchanging with a lovely couple in Marin County in May this year.
We arrived in Vail late last night. I had really low...

11 weeks
In 11 weeks I have my first race. It’s closer to sea level, and I’ve been wondering what kind of difference that will make. A woman at the gym had a Portland marathon shirt on (I’m only running an 8K) and she said it was unbelievable how good she felt running. I’m excited!
and, Go Broncos!
Perfect Drink for the Evening →
The benefit of having the New Belgium Brewery a mile away is that I never have to worry about being able to find the wonderful seasonal ales or the Lips of Faith.

Dear Comcast,
Yesterday, I was walking into a sports store circa 6pm to buy a foam roller when the manager signaled through the door to me that it was closed. Then he saw me walk to my car, a bit irked because I knew the gym was closed on Christmas, he came outside and said, “if you’re quick, I’ll let you in.” I turned around, and next thing I knew, was smack on the ground in the...

Woot
(1) Found my iPod.
(2) It’s snowing.
(3) Went for a run in the snow. I can never run as far because of the cold, and my legs die because of the resistance of the snow, but it is SO nice to be outside when its peaceful!
Dear Washington Redskins
Um, I thought there were 2 feet of snow in DC?
Casual Week
My boss is out of town which means a few things for this week:
“Loose hours”: coming in a bit late, lunching a bit longer, and leaving in time to make yoga without having to rush.
Jeans. At Work. You know you’ve entered the working world when it takes you longer to decide what to wear on casual days than other days.
Xmas in Boca
Email I woke up to this morning:
T’was the night before Christmas and down here in Boca, I was sitting at Starbucks, drinking my mocha. I know we’re all Jewish, but was wondering still, if Santa would come here and give us a thrill. On my way home, no Christmas lights did I see, on the houses, the windows, not even the trees. What a strange feeling. Not a decoration in sight. Was...
Things.
1. I lost my camera charger—by lost I mean left in LA by accident. AH
2. I made the BEST latkes and cookies over the last two weeks: regular latkes, of course my bubbe’s recipe; and chocolate mint cookies. Yum.
3. I feel like I’ve been on a perpetual job hunt since 2006. I am ready to have a job that is over a year long…HELP (relocation will be considered).
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly: Arctic Cold...
The Good: A cold winter like this is what Colorado needs to kill the beetles that have been ravishing our pine trees. Half day of work because the pipes burst at work.
The Bad: It’s so cold out that D goes outside, then runs inside and sits near the heater. The pipes burst at work today—flooding galore.
The Ugly: My bathroom sink pipes froze.
To the rest of teh...
Sign me up.
Working in the judicial system makes me realize how many disparaties exist in our country.
60 minutes tonight highlighted the Harlem Children’s Zone (google it!)).
How do I help?
I’m ready NOW.
Weights make ALL the difference!
I’ve been trying to become a runner for over 4 years now. I’ve had a number of good days, but have been plagued with sprained ankles, aching hips and knees that hurt so bad I can’t get out of bed…
I started lifting weights about 8 weeks ago and last week decided to run an 8K in Portland when I visit my best friend.
I’ve been lifting and training slowly but it is...
