What I did as part of my summer mental breakdown: try and write on a laptop nearly as outdated as these typewriters, with no memory, an external wireless card, and no battery. Momma needs a new set of keys.
I see … Bossy and LeahPeah and A Greek Tragedy and AimeeGreeblemonkey and Avocado8 and Nerdy Renegade and High Heels and Dust Bunnies and Dooblehvay and Simple and Lovely and LawyerMama and, and, and. Thank goodness for Moo cards and enough wine to push me out of my shell. I met and spoke to so many interesting and amazing women tonight, whose blogs I am looking forward to reading and sharing soon. (Of course, given how behind I am in other stuff I wanted to post, who knows when I will get around to an aggregation of BlogHers I have met… but we’ll see.)
Tonight reminded me of the joy that there is to be had in blogging– in the first comment we ever got, in the first time that someone affirmed that you had something worth sharing, in validating your response to something in the hurtful past, or in just laughing at whatever silliness you put out into the blogoverse. I’ve been bummed, recently, as I noted, and then got so busy with work (a good thing, there being bills to pay, and all) that I’ve been not only not posting, but not reading as much as I want, even with all my nears and dears. Tonight was a kick in the pants to get back into it– and to thank you all again for reading, for laughing, for affirming, for being there. And that’s just from two cocktail parties. Imagine what some actual substantive conference content will do!
Many thanks to all for your lovely emails wondering where the heck I am. I have been working on an out-of-state trial and have been wicked-super-busy with that. The trial goes in to next week, so posting will likely continue to be slim to none. But all is well, I promise!
Well, I’ve cleaned all the public areas of the house (even the toilet!) so that means it won’t rain for the social, right?
So far, planning on heading off to the park at 2 15 ish to set up. Looking forward to seeing you there!
If, for any reason, you think you might need last minute directions to tomorrow’s Ice Cream Social (3 pm to dusk! Picnic area 9! Larz Anderson Park, Brookline!), drop me an email at bipolarlawyercook at gmail dot com and I will email you my phone number. Hope you can come!
