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

Our laptop has been kaput. Stone dead. Not resting. Demised, bereft of life, off the twig, shuffled off the techno coil, kicked the bucket, and joined the choir electronic. Our laptop is no more. It has ceased to be. It has expired, and gone to meet its maker. It is pushing up the techno-daisies. Dead. [...]

Two kudos to the BH in one night. The Big Picture Blog at Boston.com, the Boston Globe’s website, is a daily and ever-changing collection of pictures on a different topic each day. The photos are high resolution, and stunning, and the descriptions are never preachy or political. Just factual, and real. Today’s entry was sapphire [...]

I may still have student loans to repay, and furniture inherited from relatives. I finally have a job with grownups, for grownup pay. But the real, true sign of adulthood? Matching silverware.

It’s been a monsoon weekend in New England, spurts of miserable drizzle interspersed with lashings of rain. We went to brunch yesterday morning, despondent at the idea of consuming less than a thousand calories for breakfast at home, and meandered our way back, afterward, stopping for presents (I’m going to be an aunt!) and accident [...]

Because everyone should have a little funny this weekend, including me, who had a stupid car accident yesterday– I’m fine but my car? Not so much, it’s off at the body shop for a new front bumper– a link to a very, very funny musical/comedy/drama streaming video up over at Hulu, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along [...]
Diner bananas, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
There are lots of phrases to describe being crazy, but going bananas seems to be an apt metaphor. Everything seems to be safely encased in the tough, smooth, attractive skin, but then something changes, and your outer skin becomes thinner, more easily bruised, and your insides turn to gelatinous [...]

“Plateau,” over at RealMental, hopefully self explanatory regarding my neglect to write here and to visit you and your own wonderful writing and sharing at your blogs.
Never fear, though. Unlike the Monty Python Dead Parrot, I’m not dead, merely resting.
The fantabulous Schmutzie has beaten me to the punch and posted links to all the posts that were read at the BlogHer community keynote last Saturday. These posts represent why blogging is so wonderful– honesty, humor, varieties of experiences laid out for judgment– and being in that audience, trying to give back some of the [...]

A little bit ago, I got a link from the Blog Goddess Schmutzie, telling me that my chocolate truffles post was named as a Five Star Friday post, at her new site, appropriately called Five Star Friday. How tickled was I to find out that it’s a round up of reader-submitted great posts of the [...]
