The B list

All of my comments for this Blog start with a B, how clever! (yes, it took me a long time to think of it and I'm proud of it)

BarBri (ok, that one was easy)

1.  I have the ultimate group of "mean girls" who sit in front of me at BarBri.  Picture this: 2 bleach blond girls and 1 brunette, all overly tan and wearing giant engagement rings.  That's not the issue though, just giving you a visual here.  Every single days these three girls walk in saying things like "well I went and did a workout with Andre [insert any name that sounds like it belongs to a personal trainer] at 7:30 this morning" which was fine.  Until the day when one of them followed it up with "and did you see that girl who came in and got on the elliptical for like 20 minutes and then left.  Cause that's a workout!  And she looked so proud of herself, like, I worked out today!"  This is the moment where my head about blew off...I did throw them an incredulous look, but being "mean girl" types they didn't notice.  Mocking people who aren't as physically fit (ok, I'm going to be mean and say it.  Not as vain as you), is not ok.  These are the people who give other people anxiety about going to the gym.  The UV rays they've been getting must have damaged the part of their brain that stores manners and kindness.

2. Made legitimate friends with the smoker crowd, which confused evil dictator because he thought I took up smoking.  I was amused.

3.  Wanted to throw something at the professor talking about Missouri Civil Procedure today because:

(a) When you write a 93 page outline, you don't get to go off on tangents every 5 minutes and call it "going off outline".  With that many pages to cover in two days, everything you want to say better be in the outline. I wish I had counted the number of times the phrases "going off outline" and "on outline" were said over the past two days.

(b)  He didn't understand what a mnemonic device was.  I'm no English major (obvious from my sentence structure, grammar, and spelling), but even I know that "If you just make preclusion a priority, failure is impossible" is not a mnemonic for the elements of collateral estoppel.  Or at least not one worth taking 5 minutes to explain.  It was almost as long as the elements run together were!

B List Friend

And on to the B List.  I'm going to a wedding this weekend for one of my old roommates from college, which needless to say will be...interesting.  I feel like I handled myself well at the bachelorette party last weekend as I made zero snarky comments, despite ample provocation.  Today I get a call from one of them inviting me to come up and stay with them (tonight mind you, at a city an hour away) because another of the old roommates couldn't make it tonight like planned.  Like, literally said "Well J isn't coming anymore, so now we have room for you if you want to come." How I love the pity invite to the B List friend!

Best surprise ever and a Baby to boot!

Christina came to visit KC last night!  Although I had some notice so it wasn't a complete surprise, it still counts cause I didn't know until Sunday and she visited on Thursday.  We went to dinner with Christina's mom, uncle, cousin, and of course big D (who's got some amazingly curly hair going on).  We tried to go to an Italian deli, which turned out closed before we got there.  I don't know what kind of restaurant closes at 8PM on a Thursday, but evidently its this kind.  But it did give me a chance to show off my knowledge of Kansas City to find another restaurant!  So good to see you Christina!

Stay tuned, eventually I will come up with a story worth of this blog's title
