lazy sunday

This blog might be more aptly titled "Kate Does Not Have Life" or "Kate Gets a Dent in Her Couch, Made By Her Enormous Ass." For instance, did I really just spend the last hour reading Julia Alison's blog? She's not even for real famous--she's internet famous!

Bar study is making me crazy already. I was so zen about it for all of a week, but I just did yet another practice set of questions (on torts, the easiest subject in law school for most people) and realized I have sort of a general idea of how stuff happens, but as it turns out, a certain special Board of Bar Examiners thinks I need to know more than that. I made flashcards today. To be fair, I love making flashcards (there's something so satisfying about them), so maybe that's not reasonable to blame on bar study, but still. I shouldn't be in flashcard-making, Julia Alison blog-reading levels of freak out for another month or so.

"so, which crocodile dundee movie do you want to watch today?"

I feel like people are constantly saying that they love their friends, and they have the best friends in the world, and going on and on about how great their friends are. But I actually mean it. I guess the deal is that if you don't really like your friends, you should get new friends. And I don't need new friends.

The hubs and I had a BBQ* this evening and a bunch of our friends came by. In retrospect, I should have taken photos, but I'm one of those people who bought a new camera thinking it would make me take photos and it hasn't.

*I had a coworker two summers ago who used to actually say out loud B-B-Q rather than barbecue. It drove me absolutely fucking batty. Who does that? For what possible reason would you do that? BBQ actually comes up much more often than you'd think with a summer coworker, too, because she often had BBQs or went to BBQs and then would order BBQ chicken salad or BBQ chicken sandwich and then complain that there was not enough BBQ flavor and ask the waitress for a side of BBQ sauce AND OH MY DEAR LORD WOMAN, THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE TO NOT JUST SAYING THE FRENCHING WORD. IT IS NOT FASTER OR CUTER OR BETTER TO SAY THE LETTERS RATHER THAN THE FULL SYLLABLES. Though now it does bring my friends and I a little joy to say it in her honor, so I guess it's not all bad.

Anyway, I need to get back to online shopping for a GPS system while laying in bed, watching SNL with the hubs. Because I might as well be 97 years old.

I am lame

I have watched the vid I posted last time about a dozen times since last Thursday. Is baby beagle freak out the new ninja cat?

on it goes

So the hubs and I got married all of 12 days ago. I posted already that the wedding was totally awesome (it was) but being married is also pretty sweet. So far, I've noticed that it's a lot like being engaged and living together, but with more presents.

The bad news about this week is twofold. First, bar classes have started in earnest, which means I have to spend about 8 hours a day everyday for the next two months filling my head with all of the actually useful stuff law school didn't teach me. It's not so much that any one part of it is hard as much as it just a shitton of material. Second, my ridiculous dog is sick. My dog is a lot like this most of the time: psycho, and you have never seen a dog so food-motivated. But since we got back from our memorial day camping trip, she's been reluctant to eat and mostly a sleepy puppy. I chalked it up to being tired from running around the woods with a bunch of other dogs for a day or two, but this is not good. The hubs is taking her to the vet tomorrow.

In better news, the hubs also started a blog!! We are so 3000 and 8 right now.

Placeholding

This is where I intend to keep blogging after "Kate Gets Married" is no longer apt. Stay tuned.
