What’s In My Suitcase? ~ #Blissdom Edition

February 22, 2012

Either Hubby or I are always traveling somewhere – so much so that we have a carry-on rolling suitcase that has basically taken up permanent residence in our bedroom, just waiting to be packed.

Oh Yeah! I Made the Leap: Adjusting to My ‘New Normal’

February 20, 2012

I just never got around to blogging about it! January 27th was my official last day as a practicing attorney after ten years. And, while it’s only been a month since then, I have this sneaking suspicion that being a mompreneur is going to be ten times harder than working a 9 to 5. My [...]

February 20, 2012

Guest Show Review: The Snowy Day at Adventure Theatre

February 12, 2012

As seems to be the theme of my life these days, I ‘double-booked’ my Sunday last week. I had agreed to review the Adventure Theatre production of The Snowy Day, but ended up having to go out of town at the last minute. Luckily, my girlfriend Savena agreed to take my place and she and [...]

I Need Me a Sweetie.

February 7, 2012

No, not that kind. I already have a fantastically amazing Joe Ferg. What I mean is the kind of Sweetie that Kim Zolciak on The Real Housewives of Atlanta on BravoTV has. A personal assistant with low standards. Is that bad to say? Too bad, I said it. I need a Sweetie. I do. For [...]
