1. What was the last thing you put in your mouth? You don’t want to know.

2. Where was your profile picture taken? The one I use on Facebook was taken at my friend Jenn’s house. The one I use for PT-LawMom is a Yahoo Avatar.

3. Can you play Guitar Hero?
Never tried

4. Name someone who made you laugh today. What was it about? Pumpkinhead. He was writing notes to Mr. V and then to me. Then he wrote a note to me telling me to tell Mr. V about his note. Then he wrote a note to Mr. V telling him to read the note he had left. Sooo funny.

5. How late did you stay up last night and why? I was up until about 2 a.m. for Mr. V’s 40th birthday party.

6. If you could move somewhere else where would you and why? I’m content where I am. I could see relocating for work or if Mr. V wanted to, but otherwise I am perfectly happy.

7. Ever been kissed under fireworks? No

8. Which of your friends lives closest to you? Hope? Not sure geographically. I may have friends who live closer, but who I only see at work or out close to where we each work.

9. Do you believe ex’s can be friends? With benefits? Maybe and maybe. I haven’t been able to be friends with many of my exes but, having had friends with benefits, I could see the benefit of having one who actually knows your body and what you like. That said, I think if you loved that person once it would be very hard to have it be a “just friends” thing. Not sure I could do it.

10. Do you like Dr. Pepper? Diet, sure.

11. When was the last time you cried really hard? Really hard as opposed to just sniveling? Last week? I’m such a girl. :)

12. Who took your profile picture? Tyler

13. Who was the last person you took a picture of? Mr. V

14. Was yesterday better than today? Why?
Yes. We had a great party. Today I was in pain recovering from cleaning, cooking, etc.

15. Can you live a day without TV? As long as I have books, sure.

16. Are you upset about anything now? I am always upset about something. I’m a worrier by nature. And anxious always. A situation at work is really upsetting me right now.

17. Do you think relationships are ever really worth it? Definitely!

18. Are you a bad influence? Depends on who you ask.

19. Night out or night in? Night in

20. What items could you not go without during the day? Chocolate, ice water, chapstick, vitamins, my Mac

21. Who was the last person you visited in the hospital? My cousin, Karen, right before she passed away from uterine cancer

22. What does the last text message in your inbox say? Ok (from Mr. V in response to a request for him to pick up a camera for Pumpkinhead to use on Skype with his Mimi and Granddad, who are moving to the Middle East)

23. How do you feel about your life right now? It’s stressful but good

24. Do you hate anyone? Hate is a strong word. There are people that make my life more unpleasant than it needs to be but I also allow them to do so.

25. If we were to look in your Facebook inbox, what would we find? 83 messages, mostly random stuff

26. Say you were given a drug test right now, would you pass?
Yes, unless they are looking for anti-seizure meds

27. Has anyone ever called you perfect before? Yes. Some people are just crazy!

28. What song is stuck in your head? “My Heart Will Go On” (watching Titanic)

29. Someone knocks on your window at 2 a.m., whom do you want it to be? Someone sexy. ;-) Seriously, though, it had better be a firefighter because otherwise I want to be asleep at 2 a.m.!

30. Do you (or did you) want to have grandkids before you’re 50? Hell no!

31. Tell us your Saturday night. Either date night with Mr. V if Pumpkinhead is with his father or hanging on the couch with my boys.

32. Do you think too much or too little? Way, way too much!

33. Do you smile a lot? Yes, all the time

The Weekly MILP (Moms In the Legal Profession) Roundup** is hosted on a rotating basis at the PT-LawMom, Attorney Work Product and A Little Fish in Law School blogs and is usually posted no later than Monday morning. Next week Proto Attorney will have it.

First off, go encourage our very own LawMom who received discouraging bar news this week. She will most definitely bounce back!

Lag Liv is finding much to love about both her chosen practice area and her firm as a working mother
Meanwhile Certifiable is getting hit from all sides, causing extra challenges as she strives for work/life balance


JD Wannabe
is launching headfirst into single motherhood during her last year of law school

PD Surrogate is recovering admirably from childbirth after her second round of surrogacy with twins

Cee is feeling anxious about losing her identity to an all-consuming career in law

Trannyhead shares her top 10 list of pregnancy the second time around, toddler in tow

LEO is facing the difficulty of full-time stay-at-home motherhood (I’d say it’s the harder job – no lunch breaks to count on, no consistent respite)

Butterflyfish is blazing the interview trail once again

Googie Baba is trying to resist the urge to turn into her mother

LawMummy is leaving us (again). :(

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.
