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]
Last night we got together with a couple friends before seeing “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” at Hale. Strangely written show. Hale always does a good job though.
But yeah. One of our friends had been in the hospital with a health problem but is doing better now, so we met up with them.
It was really [...]
Last night, we unexpectedly found out that our friends from Salt Lake were in town. We met up with them for dinner and had no sitter, so we brought Max.
Aaaagahgahagaghahhh!
We chose a teppanyaki restaurant that was fairly casual. From the start it was rough. Max did NOT want to be there. He was weepy and [...]
I rarely get writer’s block. Sometimes I get stuck on deciding WHAT to write about, because I’m not feeling passionate about anything at the moment. But if I have a designated topic, even if I’m not passionate about it, I usually don’t have a problem once I get going. I’m not saying I never get [...]
I haven’t been able to post pictures lately. My work computer doesn’t seem to want to do it. Kind of annoying.
I probably shouldn’t use my work computer for anything important at all lately. Last week, I was happily working on a possible Examiner.com article, and I clicked on a link to see some pictures from [...]
So. Saturday a.m. I was lying there and I just had to get up so I’m having some coffee. The rest of the family is still crashed out. It was a late night last night. Not a bad night at all, just a late one.
Conrad went to a high school football game. He’s hoping to [...]
It was a long one and I don’t feel like writing something long, but it was involved and vivid. First, I was part of some group, and the leader (who shared a first name with my ex-boss) said, “Isn’t it great, I’ve planned this group snorkeling outing.” We were in Hawaii. I had a sense [...]
Today I have the day off. I slept in a little bit, then took Max to school at 8:30. He went galloping happily in. He sure is a happy guy.
Then I headed over to Squaw Peak. I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much at this later hour of the day. TOO HOT! Today it’s supposed [...]
I truly think that the most dangerous state of mind I can be in is boredom. And oh crap, that’s where I am.
God, I miss being interesting. I’m absolutely dying of boredom. What can I do to be interesting? I’m a reflection of my life and my life is B-O-R-I-N-G. How can anyone so dull [...]
I have now written nine articles for Examiner.com.
This does not make me a journalist. Why, I don’t even have a degree in Journalism.
But, in typical Maile-expecting-way-too-much-of-herself style, I have begun to compare my work to professional journalists.
And, horrors, after nine articles, I have not reached the point where the quality of my writing clearly crushes [...]
I’m a decent person. I’m law-abiding, I think I’m reasonably caring, I love my husband and child, I hold a full-time job working for a Judge.
But that doesn’t mean that I am not capable of utter, horrific stupidity.
See, I text and drive. I’m sorry - I USED to text and drive. Up until about forty [...]
