Yesterday . . .
I was telling people regarding my BAR Exam results: If I don't tell you I passed, please don't ask!
Today I am telling people regarding my BAR Exam results: I passed! I passed! I passed! I passed! I passed! ad nauseum ad infinitum . . .

Coat Hanger Abortion
Lately, I've been seeing the ever-ready-to-be-dusted-off-argument-for-legalized-abortion being taken out of the basement, primarily as a reaction to Gov. Palin. It is the dreaded "rusty coat-hanger" argument.
From now on, here is how that line of "reasoning" will be rebutted by yours truly:
Pro-Abort: "You are such a horrible person! If abortion isn't legal, women will be forced to jeopardize their health with a rusty coat-hanger!"
Me: "You're right. Getting stabbed to death with a rusty coat-hanger would be awful. That will be illegal, too."

Sarah Palin
I gotta say it! I love, Love, LOVE Sarah Palin! I love that she's authentically pro-life, and I really love the way she's got the uber-lib types scrambling! This is fantastic!
One of the best lines? Hugh Hewitt said something to the effect that after failing to diminish her appeal, the media and the Dems have gone back to Mordor to regroup.
On a side note, my hubby said that I look like her . . . now if that's not the sweetest compliment, I don't know what is.

Long Time No Post Round-up
I haven't posted in a long time, so I thought I'd do a round-up of everything I've been up to in the past few weeks . . .
First and foremost, of course, I got married. The wedding was awesome. We used the Extraordinary Form and it really was beautiful! I wish I had a recording so I could re-listen to it. But of course, I have to put up some pictures.
Here is one where we are saying our vows . . .
And here is a funny one of the wedding party, and one of my nephews, whose presence we were very perturbed by . . .
I also attended The Church Teaches Forum, and was fortunate enough to get a photo with Cardinal Arinze!
When I was introduced to His Eminence by Mom, and appropriately kissed his ring (ahem, IR, or should I say RC?)I asked for a picture and he said, "Okay, but not by yourself." Which was fine by me, but I wasn't sure what the caveat was for . . . Mom said that it could be scandalous for the Cardinal to have a picture with a young woman by herself, or it could be used for scandalous purposes, which I think is pretty respectable. The man in the picture is Pat Monaghan, who practices International Law with the ACLJ, I think, so not bad company!
Some of you may be thinking to yourselves, "Isn't this girl supposed to be studying for the Bar Exam?" The answer is "Yes!" The following is a little overview of what I have been doing instead . . .
putting up pot racks . . .
painting . . .
and hanging pictures . . .
Emphatically NOT studying. Heaven help me! Please say a prayer that I will be dedicated to memorizing the Rule of Law over the next few days, and maybe that the rules I memorize are the ones we're tested on!

I've been tagged!
IR at Ignorant Redneck Rants has tagged me with a meme:
Rules:
Answer the questions.
Tag 3.5 other blogs.
!-- Would you rather give up ice cream, or Pizza? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you . . .
@--Which season would you eliminate? The end of Fall, all of Winter, and the beginning of Spring.
#--You're stuck on a desert island, would you rather have your best friend with you, or cable television? Is this a redundant question?
$--would you rather be a bird, or a fish? Cardinal Bird
%--Which song would you ban from wedding receptions? Any song with words.
^--You have 5,000 dollars to spend in one store, where do you go? Home Depot. I'm in the process of making my fiance's house less of a bachelor pad!
&--You get to have one president of the US as a drinking buddy. Who do you pick? Hmmm. Tough one. I'd have to go with Reagan. He'd bring jelly beans!
But I can't tag 3.5 other blogs . . .I can't count that high! ;)

Don't you hate it when . . .
you think of the perfect response, oh, about two weeks later?
After my trip to NY to see Papa Benedict one of my classmates made the comment, which I've seen on left-wing blogs about a hundred times, that the Pope has "sooo much money" and "it just seems like he should give it to the poor and live more like Jesus." Generally when I've seen those types of comments on blogs I kind of do an eye roll and dismiss, but when someone says it to you in person you have to respond. So I squinched my eyebrows together at my classmate and mumbled that most of the Pope's "stuff" was gifts and that it didn't really belong to him, it belonged to the Church, so he can't just give it away.
Not a very satisfying response. Or persuasive.
So I was stewing about this interchange until it suddenly hit me:
Matthew 26:7-13
7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Why, oh why, didn't I say something pithy, clever, and thought provoking like, "The disciples asked that same question of Jesus when the woman annointed him with expensive oils."
GRRRRRR!

I've been tagged!
Well, this is the first time I've been tagged with a meme (courtesy of Ignorant Redneck, http://reneckcatholic.blogspot.com) so I'll give it a shot. It's a nice distraction from my Administrative Law final exam that is due at 4:30!
Here goes:
1. When tagged, place the name and URL on your blog.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write 7 non-important things/quirks/habits about yourself.
4. Name 7 of your favorite blogs.
7 non-important things/quirks/habits about myself:
1. I have a footnote in a Georgetown Law Review article.
2. I have thirteen nieces and nephews, courtesy of two of my sisters.
3. I would like to win the procreation race in my family. So far the high scorer has eight.
4. If I need to control a laugh, I hold my nose.
5. My fiance and I met on Ash Wednesday last year while volunteering at an income tax clinic. He says he was attracted to the ashes.
6. I am a major procrastinator. Hey, I need the pressure!
and last but not least . . .
7. My blog is named after my cat, who was named after the Mines of Moria in LOTR. My cat disappeared about six years ago. She's not dead, she's on the incredible journey. Mom thinks she made it to Hollywood.
My seven favorite blogs? This is a tough one, since there are so many good ones, but here are the seven I read most regularly:
1. Ignorant Redneck
2. Pro Ecclesia * Pro Familia * Pro Civitatis
3. Thoughts of a Regular Guy
4. The Curt Jester
5. Et Tu, Jen?

Thought I'd throw on some pictures from the Barrister's Ball
Here's my honey. He is very handsome!
Notice that I have no feet in this picture! Someone should have caught that . . .

Christendom College
Well I'll be! Pope Benedict mentioned my alma mater!
Here's what he said:
To special groups
I offer a warm welcome to all the English-speaking visitors and pilgrims attending today's Audience, including the groups from England, Denmark, Sweden, Indonesia, Canada and the United States. I extend particular greetings to the visitors from Christendom College and to the many student groups present. May this Lenten Season purify your hearts and renew your faith and your hope in the mystery of Christ our Redeemer. God bless you all!
Even though I wasn't with the group . . .I think the blessing applies to me too! ;)

Wedding Update
I went to my bridal shower this weekend in Virginia. It was really interesting to see the ladies I know from different walks of life interacting with each other.
We played the toilet paper wedding dress game that I love. That's my only complaint as far as the shower went . . . I didn't get to play any of the games!
