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, after an exhausting two-day work week, I’m back off for the weekend!
Yesterday I lost my cool in a way I wasn’t proud of at all. I don’t think I ever lose my cool at work. Work is actually kind of my zen place, where I’m very pleasant and efficient. It’s where I get [...]
From Rachel (one of Max’s hab workers):
“So Max’s teacher called today and told me that you guys are going to look at
a private school tomorrow. I was soo excited when I heard the
news. Since you had told me that you didn’t believe that he was ready for
inclusion I have been doing a [...]
That’s what I dub Miss Kate Winslet. In every movie she does this pointed sidelong glance move. I love it. Most notably she did it in Titanic, the first time Leo laid eyes on her while she was looking over the railing, and she saw him looking at her.
I saw The Reader. In my old [...]
We were watching the Oscars last night “DL-style.” That’s what we call it when we watch something TiVo’d on tape-delay, starting an hour after it starts so that we can fast forward through the boring parts. DL is our friend who bragged about watching everything this way, so that’s why we say that.
ANYway, as we [...]
Well, I think I impressed them quite favorably!
I put them at their ease with some spinach hors d’oeuvres from Trader Joe’s. (To Abi Jones: I liked the spinach spanakopitas, but the ham and cheese puff pastry cups turned out soggy and I deemed them unservable). I actually cleaned off the coffee table, and more miraculously, [...]
Last week some “Sister missionaries” came by. For those like me who are not in the know about Mormon culture, these are people from the Mormon church who stop by and see how people who used to be with the church are doing, catch up, and maybe talk to them a bit about the [...]
So this website, heateatreview.com, has been the highlight of my week. I’ve been helpless with laughter time and again reading these reviews of frozen meals. I can’t stress enough how hilarious I find this website.
It also makes me want to try certain foods that the reviewers recommend. One of them was Trader Joe’s macaroni and [...]
Here he is with the special headset on.
Man, I love that guy. I mean, he is so far and away the best thing about me.
It’s kind of funny. When I wrote my book, I thought he was the thing holding me back from greatness. Now I realize, he’s the only thing that even gives me [...]
One of the Beatles says it in The Yellow Submarine: “Nothing ever ‘appens to me.”
A couple weeks ago the dentist informed me I’m a tooth-clencher. I think maybe it’s because of the sheer, excruciating, agonizing, anxiety-inducing boredom that is life.
God, just sitting, following the routine, waiting for that big change, that payoff, that moment of [...]
Conrad and I had a sandwich yesterday at Z’Tejas, but we never got to it because we were full from the salad we split. So we brought it home and are sharing it tonight for dinner.
For some reason this puts a huge smile on my face. Splitting a sandwich with my husband - one entree, [...]
