Judgment for Googie Baba

Posted in Justice, tagged on April 30, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Jen is out with the boy, and I am supposed to be studying Crim Pro (ha!). I went to check the mail, and saw an intriguing letter in Jen’s name. I ripped it right open (which is an honest to god federal crime btw, so don’t you do this). But it was from Judge Mathis! [...]

Update using Bullet Points (because these things are totally unrelated)

Posted in family, ivf, law school, tagged on April 28, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I wanted to tie this together thematically, but it is impossible. So here are random and unrelated things:

We had the Fresh Embryo Transfer. They transferred two embryos and we ended up with 3 to freeze. We went out the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate.  A family walked in with 3 huge hulking sons. Jen turned to [...]

Ghost Town

Posted in My city, tagged on April 20, 2009 | 10 Comments »

Virgin has an amazing post over at her blog on Russians and the holocaust. The Russians won’t talk about what happened.
What people will and won’t talk about is a bit of an obsession of mine. Mostly because I am an Irish Catholic girl, and I have some heavy training in not talking. You can imagine [...]

The Stork Report

Posted in TTC, tagged , on April 20, 2009 | 10 Comments »

Jen took her trigger shot tonight! She was supposed to do it at 6:30. I called her at 7:15 at the hospital to see how it went, and she had forgot. She nearly dropped the phone to go run and do it. She’s got like a gazillion eggs going, so we feel pretty hopeful.
Retrieval is [...]

Why yes, it is hard to be surrounded by 20 year olds

Posted in law school on April 18, 2009 | 8 Comments »

I am the current Secretary of my GLBT law group. I was looking forward to retiring but I got snookered into running again (no one else would do it).
When I went to the Elections, there were three gay boys running for President.
The first one gets up, and in a self-depreciating manner, states that he realizes [...]

Grasp

Posted in family, tagged on April 15, 2009 | 25 Comments »

Jen and I were talking about family. Our family, and their general craziness. Sometimes I feel kind of boring. Jen and I don’t get in big dramatic fights, we don’t go stomping around Boston getting drunk and having affairs. Mostly it’s pretty nice over here. Every now and then, the calm freaks me out. This [...]

For the Record, I’m team Lohan

Posted in law school, law school exam, tagged , on April 12, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I am tired and stressed, and my thoughts are getting confused. But in between following the Ronson/Lohan break up on Twitter, I am trying to outline Criminal Procedure.
I’ll get back to Lindsay, but I have to give you a little bit of law here. Since, the law involves lawyers, nothing really makes sense. So a [...]

Unilateral Wifely Submission

Posted in housewife, tagged on April 5, 2009 | 12 Comments »

I have never confessed this secret to anyone, ever. I don’t know why I am doing it now. Maybe because my anxiety has gotten worse, and has resulted in insomnia, so I am a little punchy.
But the confession is that I have an unhealthy obsession with the blogs of Christian Housewives. And not mainstream Christians [...]

Love in the Heartland

Posted in gay marriage, tagged on April 3, 2009 | 6 Comments »

 
Virgin and I are all misty eyed and sappy about today’s Iowa Supreme Court ruling. I have the ridiculous desire to shout out quasi militaristic slogans like “We stand with you in solidarity, Comrades!”
 I want to break out and sing “Solidarity Forever.” But then I remember this isn’t Dr Zhivago.
Well, I love me a good [...]
