I am a wife, mother, and attorney, but not always in that order. I am also phenomenally indecisive, except when it comes to my husband, the Mister, and our boys--they are an easy commitment to make, and I write about them often. I devote the rest of

Dry Off Soft
This commercial from the early 80s is the reason I have used Johnson and Johnson’s Baby Oil after my showers for the last twenty five years. And, still, twenties years later my eyes goe immediately to the rogue drop of water shooting off her ...
Tongue in Cheek: How to Hide Your Double Chin
Some people long for wealth. Or fame. Or true, everlasting love. I just want to face a camera head on without fear of double chins. Granted, even thin people have double chins. My best friend was once married to a man with a chin so weak th...
Also on the list: relaxation
Soon. Very, very soon. After my sister in law’s baby shower on Saturday (which I am co-hosting) the long three months of weekend social commitments will come to an end. No more birthdays, holidays, showers, graduations, or social engagements...
High School
Something occurred to me after I watched that Joan Jett video for the 37th time. My 20th high school reunion is next year, and I, along with one of my best friends from high school, am in charge of putting it together. So for the last week I have be...

On Monday some friends and I climbed (via paved trails) a mountain in our area. It was about 4 miles and a pretty steep grade, and at the end of it I was pretty pleased with myself. The wind was whipping us all around close to the top, but I had su...
Occupational Hazard
Yesterday I received an email from friend from law school. She has two kids the same age Mikey and Nico. I thought she was going to cancel our lunch date for the 3rd of April (turns out she needed to reschedule) but she also told me the firm she ...
Lawyerly Stuff
I have a theory that a respectable number of people who read my blog work in the legal profession, either as attorneys, paralegals, legal secretaries, or similar. Am I correct? If so, what do you do and how do you like your job? If you don’t...
The Key to Enjoying the Laundry
Child Labor: It’s not just for Asia anymore. In other news, the very sweet Lindsay from Passionate Homemaking started up an awesome Nutritional Freezer Meal Carnival. I’ve already taken advantage of some of the recipes she has posted a...
