Butterflyfish

Butterflyfish
About me: INTJ. 2009 law school grad, passed the bar, actually employed, and to remain that way, that's all I'm gonna say about that. I love dark chocolate and ballet flats and abhor artificial sweetener. Email: ilovebutterflyfish at yahoo dot com.

Clownfish

Clownfish
Five. Big bad kindergartener. He loves monster trucks and Mommy and his globe and the planets and Star Wars and dinosaurs and baseball and golf. Oh, and soccer and hockey and story books. (His list)

Bullshark

Bullshark
Only a heartless killing machine part of the time. The rest of the time he teaches high school physics, is a Reservist, cooks, sews, parents, and is otherwise awesome.

In my head

I am older than I once was, and younger than I'll be, that's not unusual. No it isn't strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same. After changes we are more or less the same.
~The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes,
her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when shes gone
there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why I just don't know
~ ABBA

    Reactions

    I was certain that a first year law student with a baby and husband in Iraq was the recipe for a moving train wreck. As it turns out, Butterflyfish is a bad-ass, an at times wickedly funny bad ass.
    ~ Ana, think like a woman, act like a man

    This was a funTESTicle post.
    ~ Wendi Aarons

    Your blog is funny, you know, when its not sad.
    ~ A friend

    Ha. You do have lawyer hair. :)
    ~ PtLawmom

    You're one of the anonymous bloggers that DON'T do the angst-laced over-share.
    ~ No.634 / Jansen (that's gotta be irony)

    While some of the posts are directly related to law school, others are a beautiful diversion to balance the load for both the blogger and the reader.

    You really have a problem, you know that, right?
