A night not to forget

The moment before we kissed seemed to last forever.  Just the way I think a first kiss should be.  Looking into each others’ eyes, inching closer and closer until our lips finally touched…
But I’m getting ahead of myself. 
My date on Thursday, which all my dear readers know had the potential to be truly [...]

A Change Would Do You Good

I know my dear readers are probably very disappointed in me because I have not yet dished on Thursday night’s blind date.  And you will be even more disappointed when I say that actually,  I am not going to dish like I said I would.
Now, if it had been a total disaster, I would have blooged about [...]

The most adventurous thing I’ve done this year

Warning, dear readers: I am about to confirm to all of you that I am officially crazy when it comes to all things dating-related.  This recent turn of events was enough to make my friend T., who has pretty much seen all my dating craziness, say “I’m speechless.”  Here goes.
As you know, I had done [...]

I guess that’s why they call it the blues

I meant to go to bed early tonight.  I really did.  But I was talking on the phone, then I was eating a belated dinner, then I was watching something sappy on TV, then I was chatting online with my friend A., and somehow the hours just slipped by. 
I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately and I [...]

I Bruise Easily

I’ve always bruised easily.  Combine this with the fact that I am one of the clumsiest individuals on the planet and I am constantly bumping into things unwittingly, it’s not uncommon for me to have random black and blue marks on my legs or arms. 
It occurred to me this weekend as I was contemplating one such [...]

Why I shouldn’t drink Diet Coke late at night

Because inevitably I end up waking up at 4 am (yes, I have been up for over an hour) unable to fall back asleep.  And not particularly awake/inspired enough to work or blog or do anything productive.  Ugh.
But while I have your attention, two things:
1)  Thanks so much, dear readers, for all the kind words [...]

Not Tough Enough

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that this has been the most upsetting day of my legal career so far.
I’ve shared with you about how, after much prayer (and hard work), the immigration judge in San Diego granted my client asylum.  That was probably the best moment of my legal career so far. 
But there [...]

It’s Official – I’m Crazy

I can hear my dear readers saying simultaneously, “Well, we knew that.”  But I’m not just talking about the weekly dose of neuroses that I divulge on this blog.  I’m talking about a real, serious mental disorder.  And if I’m guessing correctly based on what I know of you, dear readers, particularly my blogger friends– I’d [...]

At the start of me

….I’d plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me…
My last post was such a Debbie Downer post, and I am feeling so much better now (thanks to all of you for your kind words — sometimes I really just need to whine to get it out of my system) that [...]

….And Guest

Dear readers: I apologize in advance for what I’m sure will be the supremely whiny tone of this post.  I try to self censor my whining to a certain degree (though it may not seem that way!) but there are some days when I just can’t help it.  This is one of those days.
First, we [...]
