A writer with a law degree. A crazy woman in the kitchen. Sometimes able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

The Ferry Farmer’s Market: like heaven, just foggier.

BLC (out loud): (To guy nearly kneecapping me with his cane) Hey, watch it!
BLC (internally): Oh, shit. Another blind guy.

Um, OK. So, I’m all cool and stuff because I just won a hard trial and got big ups from a judge who hates out-of-state lawyers, right? And, um, ‘cuz I am still doing freelance writing on the side, albeit at a slower pace than when I was underemployed, right? And, um, ‘cuz I have [...]

The steam engines were muttering pukkita-pukkita in the background, and toward the southeast end of the fairground, you could hear the sheep bleating as their 4-H handlers straightened out their rear legs, tried to get the still-but-lambs to stop moving their heads long enough for the judges to take a look, to stroke flanks, to [...]

Sausage Egg McMuffins and Quarter Pounders with Cheese are nice for breakfast and rush-hour dinner every once in a while. Not every day. Ugh. Especially interspersed with Courthouse Food, which is Universally Awful.

I am so looking forward to going to BlogHer in July. And I may also go to the one here in Boston (and also, even if I don’t, I may host a few people here if they’re coming in from out of town). But what with the being out of a full-time paycheck until last [...]

… to my BH, IT King Geek Extraordinaire, who just stopped some stupid script from keeping my “Write Post” page from fully loading. Ladies who blog know… dishwashing is overrated, but someone who can clear tables in your MySQL database? Oooh, yeah, baby, c’mere!

My Better Half has many sterling qualities that are admirable and serious. But one of the most continuously endearing is his baby oranguntan hair in the morning. Every time I see it, I get melty all over again. What silly thing makes you fall in love all over again?

My husband’s coworker, Amy, recently started a website to showcase her lovely mosaic boxes, wall hangings, and mirrors, at Riverview Crafters. She makes things like the box, below, and I’ve seen them in person– they’re beautiful and unusual. Amy’s a talented artist– she also has her priorities right and has insisted that the [...]

I am quite fond of Janet’s photos at Fond of Snape, and anything MelanieBeanPaste deigns to turn her camera upon o’er at Beanpaste turns to gold, but I am also very much enjoying the daily photo blog called The Noticing Project. Two friends take a photo each every day, and the results are consistently lovely, [...]
