So R is usually the first person to read my latest blog post. It might be because he knows if he is not, the Holy Spirit will impart that fact to me and and then I’ll call R one or thirteen times in the middle of a busy workday to ask him to read it. [...]

Of Labels and Lemon Dishwashers
Can we talk about how I spent 1.5 hours this evening organizing my emails into colored labels? Sweet Lord, the things I can find to fill my time. As R sat in the other room working on his MBA, I was interior-designing my inbox. But you have never seen such beauty as the color scheme [...]

Excuses, Excuses
Where have I been for FOUR days, you ask? Thanks for asking, parents faithful readers. Commence the excuses: First, R was sick. And if a sick boyfriend doesn’t cut into your blogging time, I don’t know what does. Particularly one who swears he’s fine but who coughs so loud that you can’t hear yourself writing [...]

Labels and Law School
Well, Internets, what did we learn from my last post? That’s right. President Obama does not wear a dress. But with the stimulus money, he could buy himself a real nice one or 750 billion. But let’s not talk politics. Because I do politics and policy all day at work. And I like to come [...]

Obama’s in a Dress?
As you might know, last night President Obama gave his first presidential address. R and I both watched it. But not before I almost missed it. To be honest, I didn’t even know Obama was scheduled to speak. I was busy with my head in the fridge using the scientific method of duck-duck-goose to choose [...]

Cutie Patootie Won’t Sit Her Booty
Internets, meet Emma. This is what she does most days. Lays. Around. The house. As you can see, it takes quite a bit of work to look this cute, what with her having to open her eyelids and all. And as I’ve been telling you, we’re trying to see if Emma will obey R when [...]

Mabel’s Labels Contest
Don’t you wish I’d do one of those neato giveaways where you can win something just by leaving a comment on my blog? Me too. But apparently product-makers won’t donate stuff for a blogger to give away when the number of her regular readers falls somewhere between 2 and 4. (Big shout out to mom, [...]

Congress, Communion and Cannibalism
I wish I had another fun gun story to tell you. But I don’t. So I’ll talk about work. And other things. On Friday late afternoon I was yelling so loud at my computer while watching the Senate debate the “stimulus” package that two of my coworkers told me to go home. I’d be lying [...]

Gun-Safety & the Neurosurgeon’s Encore
Gun-safety course completed! We had a blast. Pun intended. Of particular note is that I walked into the Very Manly Gun Range Run By Ex Cops while wearing my black patent leather shoes, Ellen Tracy dress, and shiny hoop earrings because I arrived straight from work. Luckily, I had not re-applied my lipstick or eyeshadow [...]
