Blog challenge, Day 30: What’s in my make-up bag?
I don’t have a bag. I have a case:

I couldn’t decide which one to pick, so here are several.

I read a lot of personal Tumblr blogs written by friends, but this list will concentrate on blogs written by people I don’t know in real life.
- Story by Modcloth

100%/Without a doubt/All time favorite. I still read it at least once per year.
Blog Challenge, Day 23: My dream job
I’m lucky enough to have my dream job. I am a managing partner of a boutique law firm.
Of course, today has been sort of a crazy day at the office, and this afternoon I have 7 hearings, so ask me how I feel about it later. Haha
Seriously though, I love what I do.
Blog challenge, Day 22: The best thing to happen this year.
Blog challenge, Day 21 – My top ten favorite foods

- Cookies.
- A steak or carnitas burrito from Chipotle with cheese, white cilantro rice, hot salsa, and extra sour cream.

I’m hungry now.
Blog Challenge, Day 20: A difficult time in my life
The year was 2012 –
I had an affair. I felt very guilty about it, though not guilty enough to stop.
The affair lead to me finally leaving my unhappy marriage.
I dealt with serious drama as a result of both, which was obviously my own fault, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t difficult.
My relationship with D was on again/off again. We had very high highs and the lowest lows. It was rough go that year. It’s hard to start a new relationship amid so much drama.
Then, when things were finally turning around, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At 33 fucking years old. And they cut off my tits (Nov 28, 2012). (And they poisoned me. And they burned me. But that part technically happened in 2013).
So yeah, fuck 2012.
