Jessica Biel's photostream made me think she actually might have a personality, especially the quip about the birthday cakes: "I'll bake you a birthday cake! It will be on time, delicious, and hideous." She clearly loves her dog and baked goods, that pretty much guarantees she's not half bad.

Those are all great suggestions that I had never heard of (or really thought of, in the case of LinkedIn). Thanks so much for the ideas!

Thanks so much! I'm very excited for the move, I love NYC and visit whenever I can (including this weekend, yes!) but job insecurity is setting in. I have zilch for NYC legal contacts, even though I have friends in the city, so I am floundering. Any 'in' would be great, thanks for the link and your thoughts!

Good point, I will definitely be looking into those types of positions. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's what I was afraid of...I definitely lack the contacts in NYC that I have in my current city. My husband has a few feelers out for me with people at his company, but I don't have any solid people who would vouch for me there. The legal job market isn't great to begin with, let alone without the network. Le…

I like the idea of a complementary, but not matching, blazer over trousers and a blouse. Or a skirt if that's your preference. I think the fact that you are presenting would lend itself to wearing a jacket, but I don't think a full on suit is required. Pair it with interesting jewelry, one statement piece.

I need some job search advice. I am moving to NYC in the fall. I will have 2 years of intellectual property litigation and transactional law experience. I am taking the NY bar. That being said, I do not want to work in a law firm. It almost killed me the past 2 years, the anxiety, my god, and this was just a…

I don't think biggest fears have to be something that could actually happen. One of my biggest fears is that I will get trapped in a submarine that is filling up with water...I get the shivers just thinking of it. Ugh. I don't plan on ever being in a submarine so it's never going to happen. Or being possessed, but…

Wow - that is crazy! With all the celebrity nonsense floating around in my head, how did I not know this?!

Congrats! Awesome milestone. I get to introduce my mom and dad to NYC. They have never been, so they are flying out from the west coast and and we are meeting them there. They'll see all the touristy sites, and we'll make them do some non-touristy things, and I can get my fix of Stumptown coffee, good bagels and…

That is fantastic! Nurses are fantastic, but my sis is a nurse, so I might be biased. She loves her job and honestly, I think she probably saves more lives than any doctor because you know nurses actually get shit done :)

I had the opportunity to hear Eve Ensler speak a few weeks ago, it was phenomenal. She is a force.

No, thanks. I am fine with my phobia and will continue to scurry in fear from those 8-legged wretches. **Shudders

Oh, I would have stood up and clapped, too! What is wrong with people? I love Tim Gunn. He's a treasure!

Thanks! I avoided sappiness on facebook, so I figured a touch of it here wasn't too too much. :)

Thanks! And, it really is. I was still a teenager when we met, and it's just amazing that we grew in the same direction during those early 20s. I can't imagine myself with anyone else, and wouldn't want to :)

Why thank you! We are about to get dinner and raise a couple ourselves :) My parents have been together for 33 years, and I always hoped I would find someone I could have that same longevity with. I'm just really grateful I did.

T-minus 2 weeks! Big sis and her husband, who I adore, are coming to visit. Baby sis can't make it, but we'll gather this summer. I love when we're all together, and I can't wait to have a niece or nephew to dote on! How exciting that you get to be an auntie soon!

Well, I wouldn't call that nothing then :) Go for it!

It's the punishment we get for having the audacity to be born female! Kidding aside, my gynecologist told me that she and all the other lady docs she knows all have IUDs. It's the preferred method of birth control in Europe. The internet is full of bad stories because the people with the bad stories are more likely…
