Flashback: 1991-1992

Hello dear readers!
I am sitting at my parents’ laptop at the kitchen table, looking out at their gorgeous, lush and tranquil backyard. They had a new deck put in recently, and they put a lot of energy into maintaining the lawn and the various plants and flowers: ferns, rhodedhendrons (sp?), succulents, etc. It’s beautiful and [...]

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane

Hurrah!  I have survived this rollercoaster week (Note: the settlement fell through again, but we got an extension on our motion, so hopefully the settlement will REALLY happen in the meantime) and in a couple of short hours I will be heading down to LAX to fly far, far away!!  (Ok, just a state away.  [...]

Hump Day Tribulations

Subtitle: Don’t Call me Ma’am; Litigation Gives me a Heart Attack; and Thoughts On Feeling Like a Guilty Sellout While Eating Rubber Chicken.
I am feeling particularly bloggy tonight.  Prepare yourselves, dear readers!
First things first.  I hate, hate, hate being called “ma’am.”  I can’t think of a single thing that makes me feel older or more [...]

Things I Don’t Want to Hear About While Eating

1)  The Zone Diet.
2) The “Paleo Diet.”
3) The Atkins Diet.
4) The South Beach Diet.
5)  Jenny Craig.
6)  The “French Women Don’t Get Fat” Diet.
I think you get the picture.
I love my co-workers, but it seems that lately, every other person in my office is on some diet or another.  And really, what better thing to talk about, [...]

A weekend in the life of LittleMissLaw

 NOTE: I wrote this last night, intending to come back to it later in the evening and add to it before I published it.  I didn’t, but here it is, a bit belated.
I am sitting at my computer, looking out my window at the palm trees in silhouette against the darkening sky, a warm summer [...]

But my mom thinks I’m cool!

Since I am going out tonight (yay Friday), I thought I would take a minute out from my workday to write a quick blog for all of my faithful readers out there (hi, Mom and Dad).   Shhh….don’t tell my boss.
As it turns out, my parents are indeed the biggest fans of my blog to date!  Mom [...]

Encounters of the Cat Lady Kind

I really didn’t intend this blog to be so focused on cats or cat owners, but today I had a crazy cat lady run-in, and given my last two posts I thought I would be remiss if I didn’t complete the cat blog trilogy.
Allow me to start at the beginning.  I had a dentist appointment this morning in [...]

See, I could be worse.

Yesterday I enlightened you all about my current love-hate relationship with my sometimes-snuggly, sometimes-cruel furball, Noodles. 
What I didn’t share is that my friends are prone to teasing me about my alleged “crazy cat lady” tendencies.  Okay, so I did toy with the idea of buying a pet stroller!  But it was only because Noodles didn’t [...]

Who are you calling a crazy cat lady?

Over the past few days, I have come to realize that my most dramatic and intense relationship is with my cat.
I’m not much for drama, but throw in a vicious, unprovoked attack to any relationship and I think you’re liable to stir the pot a bit.
Noodles (the only “person” who I will post a picture [...]

To Blog or Not to Blog, Part II

An update to the debate.  Yesterday, my boyfriend asked me how the blog was going.  (Remember, he already told me he would not be reading it.)  We then got into part II of the discussion of why he wouldn’t read the blog.  He said, much like my friend T., that he doesn’t feel the need [...]
