Cloth of Many Colors

Posted on March 13, 2008
Now starring in Rebecca and the Amazing Technicolor Washcloth. Go go go Becca, you know what they say...

Classmates

Posted on March 12, 2008
Spitzer resigned today. I was writing the Record's article for tomorrow's issue and what struck me is how many people are HLS grads. Spitzer's '84 ,and so is his wife. On TV, reporter Jeff Toobin's saying Spitzer was a clean...

Spitzer's Sorry

Posted on March 10, 2008
I'm pretty disappointed by the news that anti-corruption crusader Eliot Spitzer was a client of a high-priced prostitution ring. I don't like to be the kind of person who's incredibly cynical about politics and thinks everyone powerful is corrupt or....

Happy Girl

I got it on camera! Yaaaay!

conflict of interest 2: electric bill-aloo

Posted on March 09, 2008
This was funny when it happened last summer, but I'm not so sure now. I got invited by the Institute for Do-Gooding* to be on a conference call to talk strategy about a state bill dealing with immigration and employment...

Lies!

Posted on March 08, 2008
1. You will learn your baby's different cries for being hungry, wet, tired, etc. Er. It's been seven and a half weeks and they all sound the same to us. 2. Your baby will actually cry about her dirty diapers...

Goblet of Breyer

Posted on March 07, 2008
It doesn't get any stranger, or more awesome, than watching a musical stage extravaganza where one of the characters is...you! That's right: this year's law school Parody, "Harry 'Issue' Spotter and the Goblet of Breyer," included "Andrea News-Saenz" (the joke...

Peel in Purple and Green

Posted on March 06, 2008
I'm no photographer, and my kitchen has bad lighting, but I made pasta salad the other day while the baby was sleeping and liked the way my sink looked afterward. The salad is delicious, too.

One Great Day

Posted on March 05, 2008
Yesterday was crazy. I held it together all day along. I wore clothes and ate at normal times. Kristin came over to visit. We gave the baby a successful bath and Becca smiled and cooed like crazy at Kristin, which...

AKA

1. The Becca Baby 2. Rebecca Elisa "Super Baby" Saenz, da da da da da da da (sung to "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt") 3. Pretty Kitty (due to amusing meowing sounds) 4. Wiggle Bug (see here for evidence) 5. Starvin'...

The Baby Bill

Posted on March 02, 2008
We just got the bill from the hospital for Becca's birth and my recovery, which constituted two and a half days total with no complications. Are you ready? $13,000. But because we have health insurance, we paid $300. It's good...

la jefa de la migra

Posted on February 28, 2008
Julie Myers, head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is coming to HLS next Wednesday. After the Gonzales situation last summer, she's got to know this won't be a love-in. I have to skip a once-a-week seminar to see her, but...

victory

Posted on February 27, 2008
We have definitely turned a corner on the sleeping issue. After the Six-Hour Miracle last Thursday, Becca's "first cycle" sleeping time (the time between when we put her down and when she first wakes up) went like this: 5:15, 4:50,...

The First Battle

Posted on February 25, 2008
We just started looking at how we can work childcare for Becca when I start work in August or September. This should be fine, right? I mean, she's six weeks old right now. I felt pretty optimistic when I discovered...

Wedding Season

Posted on February 23, 2008
This is a picture of our fridge, where we have wedding date cards from three of our friend-couples, and a blank space representing Rich and Wendy, who are also getting married. Four incredibly long-term couples, four weddings between June and...

fat and happy

Posted on February 22, 2008
First off! The baby slept last night! FOR SIX HOURS IN A ROW! Previous personal record, 4 hours. I am in shock. This baby gig is such a rollercoaster. I harbor no illusions about tonight. But still. Miss Rebecca also...

more beginnings

Posted on February 21, 2008
It didn't last. She had an okay night, but woke up before I was ready and fussed all morning, and I'm in hit-by-a-truck-god-I-need-a-nap mode. We went to our baby class today, Great Beginnings. Lots of great baby info, I think...

a brighter day

Posted on February 20, 2008
Having a tiny baby is all about small victories. Becca is now five weeks old. Last night, for the first time ever, she woke up not three times, but twice. Cue the choir! And cross your fingers for us. On...

Baby Becca: Month 1

Posted on February 18, 2008
Dear Becca, On Friday, you turned one month old! I can?t believe I?m writing a letter like this. I?ve read them on Dooce for years, and on Magic Cookie since K was born. This month we welcomed you into the...

Happy Valentine's Day

Posted on February 14, 2008
A small picture of the loves of my life. Mom sent us a big box of See's candies from California. Awww. We're not doing anything today, although Becca and I are about to head to school for her first encounter...

The Love You Make

Posted on February 13, 2008
The day of my Equal Justice Works interview, the one where that very night the fellowship woman called and told me they loved me and were willing to make me an offer, I was so doped up and high on...

working out

Posted on February 12, 2008
Today Becca is four weeks old. Woo! There are all manner of big changes around here. On my end, I've stopped bleeding from my stitches (thank God), I put my rings back on, and I'm down 20 pounds from my...

Happy Marriages

Posted on February 11, 2008
Oh no! Ken Jennings has visited the lowly pages of PBB, ganking my picture and calling me out for describing him as a dork! I say it with great respect, good sir. For a person who met her spouse in...

The Champ and His King

Posted on February 08, 2008
Ken Jennings had a book signing tonight, way the heck out in Newburyport, which is an hour with no traffic. And after work on a Friday, there is traffic. Naturally, I packed up our newborn, brushed the snow off the...

agent quest: one last update

Posted on February 07, 2008
My quest last year to find a home for my collection of short stories ended sort of anticlimactically. I sent a bunch of queries, got some very decent responses that ultimately didn't go anywhere, and stopped doing it, turning my...

someday soon

Posted on February 06, 2008
Another bad night - too much waking up, too much time to get her back asleep. She's catching up today by being out most of the day, which at least let me do some school work. My hair is all...

Super Tuesday

Posted on February 05, 2008
When it warms up a few degrees, Becca and I will head down to the public library a few blocks away and to the polls for the first presidential primary where my vote truly matters. Dan voted for McCain early...

Giants Win Super Bowl; Boston Cries

Posted on February 04, 2008
The impossible happened last night: those darn New York football Giants won the Super Bowl, defeating the 18-0 Patriots and breaking the hearts of everyone in this city. I mean, Eli Manning is a Super Bowl MVP. Heh heh. (Our...

staying in bed

Posted on February 03, 2008
I think some of my readers think I've handled the pregnancy/baby thing with slightly creepy confidence and ease. You just don't see me on my bad days. Friday was a really bad day. Thursday night was terrible - I got...
