...K8 is getting marrrriiiieeed. I can't believe the day is finally here. I am the Maid of Honor in my best friend K8's wedding tomorrow. (Read the super awesome engagement story here. Read about our dresses here.) I am leaving in a few to pick my parents up from the airport and head to North Carolina.



This is me and K8 our 1L year. Seems like decades ago.


And this is K8 and B. They are truly an awesome couple, and I could not be happier for them. I will post some photos when we get back. I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year.

I was one lucky duck when a certain childhood friend of mine made a stop at my house on her way back to PA school. Living alone can be well... lonely, and it is always nice to have company. We ordered food, drank wine, and somehow got into a convo about music we currently love. She exposed me to this man-gem. You will love. I promise.

with their engagement. I just think she is the cutest thing in the world- an almost royal, has-it-more-together Katie Holmes. What do you think?

Is sometimes a tough thing. Taking it gracefully, well, that is a skill. I love the following quote because it is a reminder that criticism is not necessarily a bad thing. And sometimes it is the best when it comes from our peers.

"The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism." ~Norman Vincent Peale

Here's to learning how to take criticism with a nod, smile, and a little appreciation for the person willing to spend the time to give it to us.

...ly a licensed attorney! Hard to believe this day is here because it seems like yesterday I was starting law school as a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed little 1L. My fam is in town so it is going to be extra special. I actually have my first court appearance on Wednesday- nothing like I am jumping into it, huh? And here we go...

I am a sucker for finding talented musicians on Youtube. Not that I have any experience in the music industry, but I love a good cover of a good song. What I love even more is finding an artist who has great original work as well.

I had a few friends over recently, and I searched for karaoke versions of songs on Youtube. What I stumbled upon was this amazing young artist who deserves all the PR she can get. Here is her cover of The Fray- Look After You.




But what I love most about this musical prodigy is the fact that she goes out on the streets of England and plays to random people walking about because she wants a real audience.




I think she is awesome. Visit her here.

I actually passed the Bar. I found out Friday, but I am still in shock. Absolute shock.

I think Jessica has got it right. I may try saying this to myself in the mirror in the morning. Only I think I am too tall to stand on my bathroom counter. I also think my landlord wouldn't appreciate it.




I saw this at first at Sweet, Southern, Sassy, and Classy. Thanks girl!

You all probably remember awhile back when I wrote a post about redecorating my room. Well, finally, (probably more appropriately named) Slacker Kathy has time to unveil the photos:


I really love the pillows my Mom made, jobs so well done that I think she is fit for an Etsy shop (but then again I have been telling the seamstress this for a long time now). This is the front of the pillows:


And the back. She used the same three materials for both sides and the piping.

I wanted bright, happy, different, mix and match, and I think we achieved just that. What do you think peeps?

I just thought I should tell you because you would have no idea by my post frequency. I am super busy at work right now, and when I get home, the only thing I feel like doing is pouring a glass of wine and watching Chelsea Lately. Is it sad to say that I barely have the brain capacity left after a long day to even do that? I am outta "work shape." That and "wearing-heels-all-day shape." Oh yeah, and just outta "shape" in general-I learned that when I participated in this Marine Core Mud Run last weekend. It was nuts, people. I should dedicate a post to that run alone sometime later.

So anywho...stay tuned because I am going to show you all pics of my new room decor this weekend. I glittery pink heart the way it turned out. Until next post...
