ok. with just ONE click, I was able to learn that
1. you have a child...
2. who was conceived no less than 6 months BEFORE you...
3. obtained a divorce from someone OTHER than the child's mother...
4. that the divorce is only "limited"
5. therefore you are subject to adultery limits...
6. and adultery need only be proven by disposition (which you obviously have because of your outside child and
7. opportunity (which will be presumed as soon as a PI snaps a shot of you kissing me goodnight)
8. in which case, EYE would be named in your absolute divorce pleading
9.Thanks but no thanks.

I stayed up late making soup for today's lunch. When I got here, I realized that I didn't want to eat it. I went all the way home and made something instead. It was only ok. My relationship with food is changing. Some people would say it's a good thing, but it makes me a little sad.

a "making" comp. It's actually a competition between spirits makers, that is, they arrive with samples of their best rums/vodkas/brandies/etc for the year and put them before a panel for taste-testing. Occasionally, there is a cocktail mixing aspect to it as well. The sidecar spectator benefits of attending Liquor Trade Events and Spirits/cocktail Competitions are definitely not too shabby  |

I mentioned before that I worked with a personal trainer for half of 2010 and was largely dissatisfied with the (lack of) results. I was pretty discouraged after that, so between studying for the bar and waiting for results, I put NO effort into fitness whatsoever for about 12 months. I've been doing my own thing since April and I'm now about 20 pounds lighter than when I quit the trainer. Well, I ran into him today on my lunch break. Actually, I was walking through a shopping center and he ran out of a store to flag me down. What did he want to say? Glad you asked:
You look AMAZING! I'm so proud of you. Keep up the good work!
I wanted to cry. Can't fully articulate why that meant so much to me, but I'm very very thankful. I'mma give it em extra hard in the gym today!

Why Your Girlfriend Can't Come
No, dear. Your (same-sex) girlfriend is not invited to our annual homegirls' getaway. Why? Glad you asked.
I told you when the two of you, um, "got together," that while I love YOU from the bottom of my heart, I neither respect nor approve of your relationship. I make no bones generally about the fact that due in large part to my religious convictions I do not approve of homosexual behavior (or fornication of any sort...yes, my shacking-up and premarital smashing hetero friends can get it too).
On homosexuality, another cognitive problem I have with your relationship is that you insist that you aren't a lesbian. Yes, you're one of those women who dates and sleeps with other women but who claims she is only "experimenting." You are 28 years old. You have a child. You have multiple degrees. I sincerely believe that your experimentation window closed somewhere around your senior year of undergrad (or at least by the time your child was born)I need you to put away childish things. Despite my contempt for your sexual behavior, I find your life decisions of late to be wholly selfish and irresponsible. What are you teaching your child about love and relationships? What influence, if any, is your girlfriend having over your child? Are you truly being an example for him right now? I can't support that either.
My position is admittedly pious, but the reason I sleep so well at night is that I hold myself to even stricter standards than to those to which I subject my friends and relatives. "Tolerance" is a word that is bandied about rather freely these days. I decline to exhibit any tolerance in this situation. Why? I serve the True God and my salvation depends on whether I am willing to stand up for His requirements regardless of how people (even those I love) may feel about it. Part of "hating what is bad" as He commands is affirmatively demonstrating that I do not approve of a given abomination. I cannot in good conscience sip mimosas and pose for group photos in support of the abomination you and your friend are committing (oh yes, it is that serious). I know everyone adheres to their own convenient interpretations of scripture on this matter and I'm not trying to force my beliefs on anyone. So...I guess I'll just see you at the crossroads. Word to Bone Thugs.
Note please, that I don't have anything against your significant other. Indeed, I like her as a colleague and have a great deal of professional-level respect for her. Howbesoever, she and I are not friends and I especially don't intend to contrive a friendship with her as a function of her relationship with you (as I have done with your babydaddy and other men you've dated previously).
In sum, of course you are grown and this is America, but if you invite her, I have to respectfully decline to attend. I hope you understand. But if you don't, I understand that as well.

I would like to know how this actual conversation turns out.
Random: Bringing a lesbian girlfirend to a girls' getaway is like bringing a bf/husband which to me seems to defeat the purpose. Outside of religious/moral beliefs, her presence seems unwarranted.

Convo went fine. No hostility or anything and I absolutely made sure to "season my words with salt" because I didn't want my true message to be lost behind a harsh or judgmental tone.
Because my friend is not being intellectually honest about whether she and her "girlfriend" are truly in a relationship, she was not ready to acknowledge the fact that bringing her would be EXACTLY the same as any of us bringing a date. I believe she now understands this, but I believe she has already invited the GF. So now un-inviting her (or un-inviting me, whichever) is her next hurdle.
I just hope that knowing my concerns, she will be honest with me about her intentions so that I can adjust my plans accordingly. I know that if I travel all the way there and walk into the room only to see the happy couple holding hands at the brunch table, I will never speak to either of them again. I mean that.

Getting ready for Congressional Black Caucus Annual Leadership Conference (CBC, ALC or Black Caucus) is always so much fun. My LS and I are shooting invitations back and forth to each other in order to fill up our social calendars for the long weekend. This will be my first time attending as an attorney (for some reason, I'm very excited about that, lol). I think one of these years I will also try to do a CBC-related service project to offset the copious partying and schmoozing I'll be doing.

I have something HUGE brewing. No, I mean HUGE. I can't wait til I can share it with the world. Wasn't sure whether I could ever accomplish something so major and I certainly didn't think I'd get there this early in my life. All I know is that God is everything and my faith is strengthened daily by His favor. I am finally ready to think of myself as "successful."
