I should be in a bad place right now. Chapin called Friday and said he was hopping on a bus the next day for his country and could I make the car payment again and wouldn’t I like to hear all about the totally immoral and illegal things he has planned? I put my fingers in my ears and went “nanananananana – CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!” and told him he’d better get his ass over to see Pumpkinhead before he left (which he did). I should be in a bad place now because I’m one root canal and one filling into a two-root canal and three-filling month-o’-dental-hell (thank you oh horrible anti-seizure teeth-rotting medication!!!). I should be in a bad place right now because my stupid brother still doesn’t have a job and my parents continue to pay his bills. I should be in a bad place right now because my son is on month two of behavior-controlling medication and I still don’t have any different answers. I should be in a bad place right now because former-sister-in-law #2 has abandoned her baby with her mother and is apparently on a journey to join her husband in another place. :sad: (At least she didn’t abandon EIGHT of her babies like former SIL #1.)

But you know what? I am content. Happy even. A few weeks ago almost every member of my law school class rallied around me and e-mailed me supportive messages during a bad moment. On Friday, after pulling an all-nighter to finish my paper, I came in to find my office decorated beautifully for my 30th birthday (which isn’t until the 28th but many people were going away this week) and they gave me a spa gift certificate to relax. This weekend I laughed with my boy, saw Santa Clause, bought Christmas presents, had a lot of really good quality sex (woot!), fell out of my chair laughing at the movies, hugged some great friends at DivorceCare, spent quality time with my parents, had brunch with some fun ladies and now I am going to Read.A.Book.For.Fun!!!! :mrgreen: Seriously, I am grinning hard.

P.S. Please, please, please comment on last week’s charitable donation posts. The charities get 25 cents extra for each comment. I will close it out tomorrow with totals and make those donations.

The Weekly MILP (Moms In the Legal Profession) Roundup** is the brainchild of Saramel (retired). It is hosted on a rotating basis at the PT-LawMom, A Little Fish in Law School, and A New Duck blogs and is usually posted no later than Monday morning. Next week’s MILP Roundup will be hosted by New Duck.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Merry Festivus (did I get that right, Zuska?), Happy Kwanzaa and peaceful last two weeks of December to all of you.

This week in the MILPosphere:

First off, go give 3L Wannabe a little love and support. She’s having a rough time and could use hearing from others who have been there.

The beautiful Kim, LawMom #1, finished school with cancer AND kids and came out kicking. Check her out!

Butterflyfish is sick to her stomach… and not because of the cookies

GoogieBaba made me sick to my stomach (it was that last part, girl… geez, every day?!?!)

CM properly celebrated the end of law school on a warm beach with drink in one hand and her husband holding the other. Congratulations girl!

ProtoAttorney is going to have her head surgically removed.

Amanda finished finals, found out she is having a boy (child #2 while in law school!) and is ready to kick back and relax a bit

Lag Liv has the CUTEST picture of Landon and their dog this week (and I, too, think Love Actually is such an awesome movie. Why can’t men get that?!?!)

And New Duck has a video of her super-cute little girl toddling!

Dakota is also newly graduated and enjoying time home with the wife and kids (her son is soooo freaking cute with his two front teeth missing!!!)

And I thought I was tired! R could use a week of straight rest.

Andrea is enjoying the ritual and spiritual thoughtfulness of Hanukkah (I love that you guys are doing both!)

BA is overworked (Yes, it is normal and your first commenter is right, girl, the harder you work the more they will give you!)

Cee and the Naughty Nutcracker and, because I LOVE these pictures, Mommy kissing Santa Claus.

TrannyHead made me shop more. Damn her! But, hell, those pics of Sumo are so priceless!

If you would like to have your blog added to the MILP blogroll for weekly review or would like us to consider a specific post, drop the hostess(es) an email or leave a comment at their respective sites.

So I met up for brunch today with Ana and Wine-Time Girl (who is totally awesome, btw). For a variety of reasons, WTG thought we needed a trip to the local toy store for a few supplies. WTG invited Ana and I to tag along and, hey, I needed to get some stocking stuffers anyway so I said, “Why not?” As we were leaving the store today, we talked about blogging this. I said, “Just make sure you say this little shopping trip was WTG’s idea, not mine. People are going to thinking I have a one-track mind.” Ha! Ana’s response? “PT-LawMom, your reputation precedes you. No one is going to believe that.” ROFL.

Anyway, Ana and I got into great trouble in the toy store. I think all lawyer/law student minds think alike. We were analyzing the pluses/minuses of each item, running cost/benefit analyses, etc. We also just about peed our pants laughing at one point. Ana was looking at all of these (WTG sings their praises. I haven’t tried one, but they look fun!) Anyway, she picked up what looked like a studded jelly sleeve and was pondering out loud how small a guy would need to be to fit into it. I said, “Well, some people are just masochists, I guess.” :???: Then I looked closer at it and said, “Wow, you are right! That is for a really, REALLY small guy.” Then I looked up at the box and, behind the price sticker was the image of a hand and the sleeve on, you guessed it, an index finger. She almost didn’t believe me when I told her, but then we both busted out laughing. I think we were both a bit relieved to think that random, pencil-thin men aren’t out there wearing studded jelly sleeves during their sexual conquests.

We did come across one section where I was like, “Um, no!” and Ana was like, “Oh yeah, baby.” :lol: But then we turned a corner and saw these(although, crap, they are MUCH cheaper at Amazon!). And since I apparently lost the embarrassment switch many moons ago, I volunteered to ask the “where the heck do you put these?” question. I knew they had something to do with kegels, but some of us (not me) were wondering if perhaps they are magnetized and you put them in separate places. :?: Apparently not. Ana was wondering if marbles would accomplish the same goal. So, of course, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. Since Blue Eyes was busy with a football game, I took ‘em out for a solo spin and all I can say is “Wowza!” :mrgreen: Although I definitely want to try them with him. The lady at the store said you don’t do that but Babeland’s instructional guide says you do. Woot! But I want to get this version with a string because it seems like they’d be easier to remove that way.

Anyway, WTG walked out with these and something fun her sister picked out. I, of course, stocked up. ;) And Ana went back and forth and then took WTG’s recommendation that the inexpensive CVS homedics-type massagers really do the trick. I keep hearing that and yet I have never tried that. My friend also mentioned the shower head which, again, I think is a little odd but to each her own. ;) So that was my fun day today.

For more info on the product I bought, which is apparently excellent for post-childbirth health and maintaining your muscles, see
Babeland’s
video here (this girl totally reminds me of me. Right?):

Now to just figure out a way to ask Blue Eyes to come over and play with my balls. Hahahahaha. I told him about my “sleeve” conversation and he busted up, saying that is a conversation you’d never hear two guys having. :lol:
Edited to Add Okay, so I asked him and he said sure so I swung by on my way to pick up dinner for the ‘rents and HOLY HELL. :shock: I think I was propelled across the room but I cannot quite recall because I’m still dazed and confused. I’m just glad I made it home because the legs are still quivering. Definitely, DEFINITELY, buying into the cheaper is better philosophy. Hmmm. :mrgreen:
