three good things

Posted on April 26, 2008
- The 3L Paper, for all intents and purposes, is DONE. It is 40 pages, 131 footnotes, of which 130 are perfectly composed and formatted. Footnote 77 is holding out on me. I can't find an appropriate official source for...

last law school class

Posted on April 24, 2008
One more thing over. I imagine the kind of fantasy kids who don't know anything about law school might have about it. Before anyone has told you about civ pro or statutory supplements or outlines. I'm going to sit in...

charity advice?

Posted on April 22, 2008
I know, 3 posts in one day, it's getting crazy around here, but I'll keep it short. We want to give Jeopardy money to a charity. Normally it'd be our peeps at Mercy Corps, but we're upset about the global...

followup

Posted on April 22, 2008
I hope it doesn't seem like all I do lately is talk about how my life is super awesome and perfect. Things have been great for us lately, but, I don't know, it doesn't seem that long ago that I...

The media frenzy never stops here at the P-S Experience. For the Record's April Fools' Day issue I enlisted Dan in the effort, and he wrote what I think is the funniest article in the issue, "Dean Kagan Hires Every...

Paper Schadenfreude

Posted on April 21, 2008
So now my 3L paper is now over 33 pages long, and it has 113 footnotes and only 10 of them contain the word "cite" or a question mark, but it's still not done. It's at that annoying stage where...

easy money

Posted on April 20, 2008
Hey, remember when Dan did this? That was awesome.

Baby Becca: Month 3

Posted on April 17, 2008
Dear Becca, On Tuesday you turned 3 months old, and I'm almost afraid to describe how wonderful you've been lately for fear that you won't do it any more. Frankly, you're one easy baby - given that you are still...

Not TOO Sensible

Posted on April 16, 2008
Celia called us sensible and wise on the last post. Thanks. We do try to manage our money well, no matter how much we have. But it's not all boring loan payments. We bought some plane tickets too. In August,...

How it Changed

Posted on April 15, 2008
First in a series of scattered posts about the money. I remember once, before any of this happened, thinking to myself, "What's the amount of money it would take for me to say, this will change our life?" And I...

And Then Everything Changed

Also

Posted on April 13, 2008
I would just like to note that my 3L paper is now 24 1/2 pages long and has 75% actually legitimate cites, and the deadline for one of my other papers got pushed back a week, and that means I...

Prenup

Posted on April 13, 2008
I remember once during 1L year my three roomies and I had a big discussion about pre-nups. One roomie was vaguely for, one was firmly for (I forget her reason, it was "to protect yourself" or "to be responsible" or...

rollin'

Posted on April 12, 2008
Becca just rolled over for the first time! The baby books said the kid would freak out when she did it, but Becca flipped onto her back and lay there calmly, looking at her play gym, like "I meant to...

At 50

Posted on April 10, 2008
I liked CM's faux-explanation of where she and her family will be when she's 50. In my case, Becca will be 24, finishing her stint in the Peace Corps or Americorps or what have you and starting grad school. Her...

how you know

Posted on April 08, 2008
One of my favorite books, Bob Harris's Prisoner of Trebekistan, has a lot of funny, self-deprecating stories about how Bob managed to know some random factoid because of a silly event in his life, as opposed to learning it in...

bend it like becca

Posted on April 06, 2008
Someone has figured out that pushing with her feet results in movement. I left her in her Boppy lounger for fifteen seconds and came back to her looking at me halfway upside down. I pull her back down by her...

It's Opening Day

Posted on March 31, 2008
Welcome back to baseball. I expect to have an adult conversation with Dan again sometime in October. p.s. how you like those UCLA Bruins?

80 Days

Posted on March 30, 2008
It has been 80 days since Dan's last Jeopardy show aired. Sony gives themselves up to 120 days to mail you a check. No one knows why this is. It made some sense in the era of live game shows,...

Through the Night

Posted on March 30, 2008
Our pediatrician said that babies being sleepy or running a mild fever after vaccinations wasn't as common as people made it out to be, but here's all I know: Becca fussed for most of the afternoon yesterday, had a small...

Baby Escalade

Posted on March 28, 2008
I was in a Kmart yesterday waiting for some incredibly slow employees to figure out how much a pack of dry erase markers without their UPC code cost, and saw a Power Wheels Cadillac Escalade in a huge box for...

Infertile

Posted on March 26, 2008
I am now. Today I got my very own Mirena IUD, which led the nurse practitioner to proclaim that I have now "graduated" from the OB/GYN practice. There was a dull cramp in my stomach for 30 minutes and now...

Happy Easter

Richardson Endorses Obama, Beards

Posted on March 22, 2008
No, I am not going to talk about how awesome this is politically, how I hope it helps Obama and he picks Richardson to be his Veep and they stir up a big spicy pot of black-Latino coalition across the...

Lullabies

Posted on March 22, 2008
(Becca is sleepy and fussing while Dan rocks her in the glider.) Me: Sing her a song, she likes that. Dan: Hush little baby, don't say a word...Papa's gonna buy you a rocking bird... Me: It's MOCKING bird - Dan:...

March Madness

Posted on March 21, 2008
We're all ready at our house. Go Bruins!

late night

Posted on March 20, 2008
My mom is visiting this week. As it turns out, Dan in the middle of his second late night of the week at the State House, so her being here is really nice. I forgot that my mom can do...

Be Very Afraid

Posted on March 17, 2008
I passed the Jeopardy online test. I got into an audition in May. It is on.

Baby Becca: Month 2

Posted on March 16, 2008
Dear Becca, You're two months old, and one sweet cuddly girl. In the last month our lives have felt a lot more manageable, largely because you now sleep five or six hours in a row every night, and you have...

Power Couple Crush

Posted on March 15, 2008
This weekend is HLS's first Celebration of Public Interest, which is kind of a combo alumni reunion/uber-conference. I spent almost all day there yesterday, and I'm going for another half-day today. Yesterday was a full-on SuperMom day: two different friend...
