I am part of a group of women who blog(ged), all lawyers and moms, who have been supporting one another online for many years (nearly a decade for some, and I’ve been involved for maybe 7?) And we had a meetup! Not nearly everyone could attend, but we had a solid half dozen. Three others who could not attend in person joined us one evening via Skype, which was delightful. Even more could not make it this time, but were enthusiastic about next time.
I worked through the morning Friday, then dashed to the airport just after lunch and caught a flight. I’m here to tell you, packing and flying places without children is just . . . I just can’t even . . . it’s just been soooooo loooooong since I . . . man. It was great. I billed some time on the plane, then got hopelessly lost in the airport, and then was picked up and met these women that I have only seen in pictures for years. They are delightful. We had a great time eating (lots of dining happened), playing Cards Against Humanity (occasional ghastly impropriety is good for the soul), and talking a great deal. It was the same old support group, only in living color. So great. I came back Sunday afternoon and then billed 13 hours yesterday, but so it goes. Worth it. Can’t wait to do it again. And we have plans for the next one in 2017, hopefully with even more MILPs in attendance.
Now we’re off and running into another week. Just a couple of short weeks until my sister gets married. Sometimes life just overflows with wonderful things, doesn’t it?
