TMF

As in Too Much Fun. And now I am Tired.

But to sum up:

First week back to school was so disorienting that on Thursday I forgot to wear deodorant, missed an important meeting, and discovered at a four-way stop when a silver projectile flew off my car that I had left my cell phone on my car roof.

I also attended my first bar review as a 2L and managed to:

• Be caught pointing out Neeta and my mortal enemies at law school, Crispy and Frosty (named for the state of their hair and lip gloss, respectively). I’m not sure WHAT we did to piss them off, but it started at Barrister’s Ball last year, where they were pointing at us with their acrylic nails and laughing
• Fail to secure Gloria a decent man, but there will be more bar reviews to follow!
• Inappropriately hug the guy who probably already think I’m a stalker, oops!

On Friday, Laurie and I tipsy-dialed France! Three times! To confirm our hotel reservations in March. There was A LOT of giggling involved. We’ve decided Marc, l’homme qui answered the phone, can’t be anything but a devastatingly handsome and slightly smelly man.

On Saturday, it was fellow Capricorn Shannon’s birthday party!

The birthday girl:

Penny, Karman, and me:

Faith and Jane, crafting away:

Karman, Maryann, and Eric, who told the second-best Poop story of the evening:

Amber (who told the first best Poop story of the evening, which really rivaled the best I had ever heard before, an unnamed co-conspirator, and hostess Laurie.

David and Alex. Alex is German!

And at some point, the night devolved into a 7-11 run. In which my three passengers made baby feet on my car window, since my defogger wasn’t working from the time I spilled coffee into the dash on my way up to Redding.

Here is our 7-11 clerk! He LOVED getting his pic taken! LOVED it!

And later the night devolved yet further. Where suddenly everyone NEEDED to be measured. And there was a lot of fighting over my technique as Designated Measurer, but I think you’ll agree that my knitting needle case and pink gel pen technique looks very precise, n’est-ce que pas? Also, I am wearing Laurie’s barn jacket, returned to chic by John Kerry in 2004.

Thank goodness I have tomorrow off from school to recover.
