Another Lazy Blog Post

Good Afternoon, Friends!

Only 10 more days of wretched, wretched Bar Review.  As Mrs. Hargrave put it so well, my brain is so full that all I have put in it over the past 6 weeks is starting to leak out.  I have taken to taking Benadryl every night so that I can sleep for 7-8 hours without horrific dreams of Oil and Gas Law and who owns redacre, greenacre, purpleacre, or blueacre.

So, while I continue to study who inherits what and try to figure out what a trust is, you should check out this blog: Daniel's Art Blog.


Daniel is a friend from Wylie and from Church who is a super-talented artist and features his work on his new(ish) blog.  Grab a cup of coffee (or iced green tea) and enjoy.  It's a like visiting a museum from the comfort of your desk!

Best Wishes to all my friends who are frantically studying right now!

It's doesn't happen everyday that someone full of passion and love and life enters yours.  I met Heather during her first week of law school.  I was a 2L and she was a baby 1L.  Throughout that first year, we did a bunch of political stuff and travelled to many fundraisers together.  This past semester, we have become bonkers close.  I'm pretty sure that we are a rare breed of women.  We are fiercely independent, have huge hearts, and live with reckless abandon.  We live and love passionately.  Heather, you make me know that's it's okay to be exactly like we are.  I have loved our dinners and never-ending chats!  I hope the conversations never end!

I have a draft blog post that I wrote a few weeks ago entitled, 'Why Heather is the Strongest Woman I know.'  Heather's fiance is currently deployed to Afghanistan.  I have absolutely no idea how she is able to live and do law school everyday.  Her strength is phenomenal and enviable.  I'm pretty sure there is no way I could do what she does- heck, i broke down in front of her just thinking about it.

Heather, I am extremely sad that I'm not going to see your face everyday anymore.  But, I cannot wait to celebrate your marriage with you in the spring, and hopefully I will see you in Europe before then! :)  I love you so much and feel that my life is fuller because you are in it!

Law Prom.

Last night, Law Prom happened.  It went down exactly how every Prom should go down.  The day started with massages.  (insert deep, amazing sigh here)  We then headed down to the hotel to get ready.  Mad props to Christopher Minue (and the commencement committee) for picking out an AMAZING venue:

Hyatt Regency Cleveland at the Arcade

The evening started off with a cocktail hour, then proceeded to a dinner, and then Bonkers dancing. (note: the only not awesome part of the evening was no tequila at the event... for some of us southern girls, that's all we drink; I made do at the Prom with chardonnay and various cocktails until the after party at Cadillac Ranch where tequila was most surely had) 

Now that I gave you the rundown of the entire evening, let's look at it!

My AMAZING, AMAZING date for the evening.  Yes, that is a corsage.  Yes, the ribbon does match my dress.  Yes, this is a classic prom pose.  Yes, we were the most amazing couple of the evening!

Minue and Me (yes, that is a working title for a show that will or will not air on MTV, but more likely will on Bravo)

James and Carly- 

Adorably amazing couple and future power-couple of Cuyahoga County.  Let's put it this way, James is pretty much exactly what Cuyahoga County needs.  Totes gonna miss ya!

Aaron and I, by request

Apparently there was a memo re: plaid ties that these kids obvi received.

I LOVE Kate.  And "hot dog" was pretty cool, too...

Oh right, and then things like this happened:

P.S. Nods, you look AH-Mazing.

Please reference earlier post entitled 'Geronimo' for explanation of this picture.  Sadly, there were no small coats to be worn.

That was our night!  How sweet it is to have amazing law school friends and be able to enjoy them all in one night!

Dear Andrew Pollis,

I give you an A++ :)

Friends that Fill my Heart with Happy

I LOVE LOVE LOVE This Girl!

H-Bomb, is like, awesome.  I've been told that I use that word maybe too much.  Perhaps I do.  But she's actually awesome.  Amazing.  Fabulous.  Absolutely fabulous, if you will.  I'd take the time to do a list here as I have with other great friends, but honestly, it's 8:25 PM and I'm only half-way through studying for my Criminal Procedure Course.

But, as I took time from studying to have a grab and go dinner with this girl, I have to take time out just to let you all know how fantastic she is.  H doesn't care that I have a gravy addiction.  H doesn't care that all I want to eat is bacon blue cheeseburgers.  She's a super feisty strong woman and I love her to bits.

That's all- gotta learn more about Grand Juries.  (I was going to do a real hilarious (that's a relative term) joke here about the jury being in on how awesome heather is... but then I decided not to... but then I decided that I would mask how dumb and silly I am by including it in a parenthetical hypothetical addition, so that it would seem that I was poking fun at myself when really I just wanted you to read my lame joke)... Yup, brain's fried again- I'm taking a test in 12 hours.  This is going to be great (again, relative).
