My mom is fierce! She is the strongest woman I have ever known (and sure, I know I'm biased). I am constantly in awe of how she manages through the mountainous obstacles that have planted themselves squarely at her feet over the past 9 years since she left my dad. She's a tough, tough lady. But everyone has a breaking point ( Read more... )

I know, I know, I've been completely MIA. Again. So here's the updates a la plus/minus list ( Read more... )

My life's "To Do" list got one item smaller last week. I took the LSAT on Monday. After months of preparation, and a weekend of freaking out, I think it went really well. It'll be two more weeks until I know the actual scores, but I feel cautiously optimistic. I scored in the same range on all my practice tests and usually had a fairly good ( Read more... )

Some interesting reads I came across today:

I. Jenny from the Hill?

II. Rock on with your bad self Rep. Kucinich! (pdf)

III. Of course I have to mention the "terrorist bump",

IV. And lastly, I would love for all of you to weigh in with your thoughts on hymen repair. My head isn't wrapped around it yet. Perhaps that's because it's past ( Read more... )

First of all, I have to give a shout out to all my faithful campaign ladies who worked tirelessly for Obama in the Hoosier state. I miss you ladies dearly, and wish I could have been there!! Rock on, rockers ( Read more... )

I really do need to update more often. I haven't written at all about my trip to see the live frogs at the National Geographic museum across from the Spitzer...er Mayflower Hotel, which was followed by a trip to the newly opened SUPER TARGET inside the city! That was last Sunday. Thursday, however, was way more exciting ( Read more... )

I don't post often enough.

It's been a lovely few weeks though, topped off with a bizarre, and somewhat creepy exhibit at the Hirshhorn museum and a trip down to the tidal basin for the kickoff of the cherry blossom festival, which I missed last year. I hope to never, ever take this city and all it's opportunity for granted.

And, for fun from wicked-sassy ( Read more... )

So I saw the Governor Dean a week or so ago! How superfantastic it was. He held a "town hall meeting" at the Women's National Democratic Club in the Dupont Circle. In person, he looks a bit like the Fonz. I had woken up that morning all depressed-like from the negative campaigning and the whole Florida/Michigan clusterfuck. But good ole Howard ( Read more... )

Because it looks like the Ohio results won't be in anytime soon, and I can finally tear my eyes away from the C-SPAN, I thought I should do my best to try to update everyone ( Read more... )
