Sometimes you’re the bug.

I couldn’t help it.  I had to pay homage to Knittikins’ post title from earlier in the week.  And more than that, today–this whole week, really–I truly am the bug.  Splat.
The annoying part is that I knew this week was going to be crazy.  And yet, leading up to this terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad [...]

Bd txts drv me crzy. :P

First, dear readers, an announcement.  Little Miss Law is officially on a mancation.  Yes, you heard me right.  A mancation, i.e. a vacation from men.  (My friend D. coined the phrase.)  Don’t worry, I am not turning into some kind of Bitter McBitterson man-hater…far from it.  But after my recent breakup, and considering that the [...]

Nightswimming

First of all, let me share with you my absolute love for the song that inspired the title of this post.  (By R.E.M. for those who haven’t had the pleasure.)  My freshman year of college, my roommate made me a mix tape (yes, a mix TAPE) with a very random assortment of songs.  Nightswimming was [...]

Memory

Dear readers, I’m not feeling very bloggy tonight.  So instead of a true blog, a poem, by Miller Williams:
Memory
You can’t keep all of the past in a backpack or purse
all of the time.  It’s heavy, and what’s worse,
it wouldn’t leave room for much else,
what with drive-in movies, wooden motels,
a record player with needles, a touring [...]

I Heart Bookstores.

Tonight I have felt the most peaceful that I had in a long time.  I came home from work and decided that I didn’t want to stay cooped up in the house, so I headed over to one of my favorite L.A. spots, The Grove.  Yes, it’s crowded (apparently it gets more visitors each year [...]

The Man of My Dreams

Oh, isn’t Little Miss Law a tease.  You thought that she was just going to open up and share all about her ideal guy or something to that effect. 
 Sorry to disappoint, but Wrong!  No, I’m writing about the novel I just finished with that title.  As often happens when I finish a book that I [...]

Sorry, It’s Monday.

Dear readers, I hope you will indulge me in what promises to be a very random stream of consciousness; my brain is fried from working on an appeal brief almost all day.  (Don’t you worry, as exciting as enforcement of settlement agreements under CCP 664.6 is, I’ll spare you.)
First of all, let me just say [...]

Babies R Not Me.

I actually wrote a post with this title last time I went to a baby shower, but then I removed it because I thought it sounded too harsh.  But allow me to be honest…the fact remains that I’m just not such a fan of babies.  Don’t get me wrong.  I don’t hate babies.  I just [...]

Putting the “Law” in Little Miss Law

First of all, dear readers, let me say…TGIF.  Not in recent memory have I felt so exhilarated to survive to the end of the week with the knowledge that I can actually sleep in tomorrow!  It’s been a long time — first there was Maui (where I slept like a baby but tended to wake [...]

It Doesn’t Hurt Anymore

Tonight I talked on the phone for about an hour with a guy I dated several months back.  This is notable because it was our first real conversation since we broke up.
We had started off as co-workers, became fast friends, and after my engagement ended, we started dating.  We dated for a few months and [...]
