It was Mike's birthday yesterday and this has prompted a weekend of baking. I made a cake from scratch yesterday for the first time ever. I have to say that it came out pretty well, took far longer than I expected, and is very tasty. I also made frosting which did not turn out so well, but I think that's because the recipe ended up making a ( Read more... )

I am now a part of a clinic at my school. What this means is that I'm the attorney, well myself and my clinic partner. We do all the work and just check in with our supervisors.

I PASSED EVIDENCE!!!!! With a B no less, so I'm happy.

So that's ( Read more... )

I have dutifully send off for my absentee ballot but it does take some of the primary excitement out of the day for me. So yes, if you can vote today GO VOTE! I'm so sick and tired of hearing about how 20 million MORE people watch the ( Read more... )

On the way to work today I picked up the free Washington Post paper to read on the train. When walking from the train to work it was incredibly cold, so I put my hands in my pockets and had the paper under my arm. I couldn't help but think of all the spy novels where the day old paper folded up under the left/right arm was the signal. Very ( Read more... )

Busy Busy. I have finished my first week of the semester and it is going to be busy. I am taking one class which will suck up all my time as it is with a professor that takes joy in being the hardest one at the law school. I'm also doing my upper level writing requirement which will require me to get work done through out the semester. The good ( Read more... )
