A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
Well, it’s Saturday morning. Conrad’s taken Max for an outing, and I stayed home to clean our wretched house.
I’m poised to dig in but am of course procrastinating a bit first.
In looking for music to put on while I clean, I saw that there’s an all-Christmas music channel now. YAY! I do believe I’m ready [...]
It was a fantastic weekend over here in my world.
Friday night Conrad went to a football game and I hung out with Max. He was being so sweet, it was unbelievable. We snuggled and watched boxing (I really don’t mind so much watching his stuff over and over if I have gossip magazines to read, [...]
So I just got back from the workout room downstairs. The last time I was in there a girl had “Steel Magnolias” on the TV. I don’t care, I don’t use the TV but I don’t mind listening to whatever someone else has on.
I really hoped I’d be done before the part where Julia Roberts [...]
Last night I went to bed early, at about 10 or so. I had glorious visions of getting up early, driving to Squaw Peak, scaling the mountain, coming to work, showering, and starting my day with a glorious sense of accomplishment and virtue.
I’ve often had this daydream, but it’s never come to fruition. Last night [...]
This is me with John Phebus on the Fourth of July. He’s one of our dearest friends and I love him!
Me and Max yesterday at a nearby park.
Had to start with the random photos.
So my friend Robert Bullen reviewed my book on his award-winning website.
OK, so he’s a friend. But he’s also super-smart and does [...]
I’ve been dragging all week. It’s this insanely hot and humid weather. I just don’t want to do ANYTHING. And I feel so bad because I get home at 6 and Max wants to go out to the park or for a walk and it’s the very LAST thing I want to do. I find [...]
Now, nothing is worse than coming back from Hawaii. Leaving Hawaii is like a death. When I was young and fortunate enough to spend every summer there, I always cried coming back. Painful! And when I grew up and only went there a few more times, I sobbed for two days upon my return.
So this [...]
I was dreading this week. I had many unpleasant appointments and obligations. But I have to say, I have really gotten a lot done and I’ve lived to tell the tale! There’s more to do but I’ve made a good start.
Today it’s hard to be in the mood to work, because I have vacation for [...]
Last night Max threw the biggest tantrum I’ve seen him throw in a while. We had had a great weekend, and Saturday night we had all stayed up till midnight. It was so much fun. I made him a midnight snack of a quesadilla and we all just played on the bed. Conrad and I [...]
If you ask Max, “Max, who’s the President?”
He will reply “Pwes - ih - den . . .” [...wait for it...] “. . . Bamma!”
I love that guy. Conrad said the other day that he’s like a shot of sweet cream. The other day he politely told a neighborhood dog, “Go ‘way, clweese [Max-speak for [...]
