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]
I feel the need for speed.
I’m SO frustrated with falling asleep at 9:30 every night.
I don’t WANT to fall asleep at 9:30. It’s the last thing I want. Max usually goes to sleep around 9, and I desperately want that adult time. Either to do unglamorous tasks like take the garbage out or do the [...]
1) Max lost his fourth tooth yesterday.
2) I got another ongoing writing assignment I applied for, Phoenix TV Examiner.
3) I finally learned how to make homemade macaroni and cheese that doesn’t suck.
Let’s start with the last one first. I must once again thank Amanda Hesser, for I used her recipe. It’s not that hard. I [...]
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 [...]
Okay, I think I’m less grumpusy than I have been lately. I do have these ups and downs.
Max did the cutest stinking thing last night. He laboriously gathered all the chairs in our house and arranged them all in a circle in the middle of the room, to imitate the formation of his “social group” [...]
I haven’t been able to hike this week so far because on Sunday I scraped my foot on a cactus leaving my dad’s house. It’s really bad! I haven’t been able to wear closed shoes because they hurt too much. I think I’ll be over it by tomorrow though. Stupid thing. Practically sliced me down [...]
I feel terrible. I deceived Max. I told him it was “water day” at school. That’s when they wear their swimsuits and play in the water. He lives for putting on his swimsuit and for water. So much so that he came into our bedroom at 2 a.m. saying “Water day, water day.”
So we take [...]
It occurs to me that I probably shouldn’t restrict my lunchtime fare at the office to only Lean Cuisines, with the occasional Lean Pocket. I think maybe I should bring slightly heartier meals. I tend to not eat much during the day, but then I’m all unsatisfied and go hog wild at night, which as [...]
Been doing a lot of typing this week! Between work and starting my new Examiner.com writing dealy, I’ve got sore arms, sore shoulders, sore neck and sore eyes! Just takes getting used to, that’s all.
So I’ve added a new link on the sidebar to the right (on my blog’s main page), “Articles by Maile Hernandez,” [...]
God, what a bland day. What a bland life I have going right now. Every day, the same routine. Every day, the same vapid pleasantries exchanged between the same people. And it’s not just because I’m a secretary. I hear my judge in the courtroom and it’s the same, the litany, the admonitions, the same [...]
