First thing’s first, I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to vote, to comment, to tweet or to email me about the photos. While I am more secure in my appearance now than I was when I was 16, it still took a bit of a deep breath for me to post those, knowing that the internet can be a cruel, cruel place. But alas, my faith has been restored. So, thank you. Oh, and picture number 1 was the runaway winner. When the website goes up (promises promises) that will be there somewhere.
I have been away the past couple of of weeks (in the internet sense, I didn’t actually physically go anywhere) and found the break to be refreshing. I am back in full force now, though, and am eager to keep writing and continue the conversations in the blogosphere, so expect a flurry of activity in the next few days. The practice is picking up some speed and I’m trying to figure out how to devote more time to the practice of law and less to the administrative stuff that you can’t bill for but is essential to not committing malpractice. The boys turn three in a couple of weeks, and we are celebrating a slew of birthdays of miracle children, all who were born via IVF in the summer/fall of 2007.
I’m heading to Miami in August to attend the Federal Defender/CJA training and am looking forward to continuing the evolution of mommy/lawyer and in the meantime, trying not to fuck things up for either camp. I’m purchasing books for my little law library, getting some ‘art’ on the walls, writing an article on immigration for the ABA GP/Solo magazine.
In the meantime, I’m trying to spend some time with the kids and remembering to floss regularly.
Now let’s move on.
