Damn, soooo tired. I wish I didn't have to work today. At least Cait is coming with me and she will do most of the vacuuming. On one hand, I was really glad to keep busy yesterday, but OTOH- I think I overdid it. (Who me?????)
I steam cleaned the hallway upstairs, and that really hurts my boob/scar. I went for a long walk with my friend and she even commented that I was going too fast up the hill. I was def. running on adrenaline.

Then my parents were supposed to meet us at my house at 5.30. They showed up at 4.50 and we were just trying to get Scott ready and out of the house at 5. My mom is a *doll* but she kept wanting to talk to me about irrelevant things and I needed to get dressed, makeup, IV, and all of that in about 45 mins. I ended up snapping at her so I need to call and apologize today.

The ceremony ended up being inside in the gym. I really dislike grad ceremonies. They seem so boilerplate. 4 years ago we entered these halls as freshmen, young and confused and not knowing where classes were. We formed friendships. And here we are ready to move on into the real world, :blah:
The best part of it was when our Highlander Pipes and Drums came out. The have won competitions all over the US and they are so impressive. I tried to get as many pictures as I could, but of course its really hard to do that inside, so most of them are under-exposed. But I'll see what I can do in PS.

So that is about it from me. Here's to all of you ~ :tea:

Temptation of Thursday:
Have Cailyn do all of the cleaning while I direct her from the sofa!

Phyllis- yeah, I guess that is how is has to be, let them go. Always in my heart too. :) It amazes me now, as an adult, how devastated yet happy my parents must have been in 1993. i got married and moved out May 29. Less than a week later, my brought closed on his condo and moved out. Both kids- gone- in days. As a "kid" that didn't faze me at all, but now as a parent, whooo boy, that had to have stung.
I am feeling the same about the last MI book so far too. It's good but somewhat "same old, same old," if that makes sense.
I read the first 4(?) Outlanders several years ago and I loved them. I have been listening to them on my phone while I am cleaning, and am about a quarter way through the second one (Thanks Trudy!!!!). I love it when there are so many "layers" to books. The Harry Potter series takes the prize on that and I could read that series over and over and over. I guess I just love to read, period :)
The rain didn't get here until night time, but the humidity- oh yeah, its a NJ summer! I put fans on so the rugs will dry eventually ;)
Hope you didn't find too many science projects in your fridge.

Sara, your IL's are just so ...weird. Glad that you will have Ben in a different league. Who needs that negativity?
Vegas? How awesome! How long will you be there? Never been there myself, but I hope you have fun!

Nancy- How awesome to see your friends. and how cool that they are hiking like that. I couldn't do that either. LOL I am meeting my BFF on Saturday- we are going into NYC to see a play. That is more my speed hee hee!

Trudy! Why didn't you go get stitches? Hope that your fingers feels better today, make sure you keep it clean!
Thanks for the hugs too!

Love to all of you!!!!

Happy Birthday my dear Faery. Please don't overdo it!

I will leave early tomorrow morning for Vegas and will come back really late on Monday. It will be mostly conference stuff, but we might decide to do a show at the last minute.

I have to go get ready to go to the bank and pack and stuff. Check in later!

Happy Happy Birthday Chris! And congrats again to Scott!

Yesterday was a summer day in NJ as the humidity was so high but I got out and walked anyway just did it slowly! Not much else going on. I finally finished up my vacation book and order from Shutterfly. I am also going to try Adoramapix and see how I like that version. I am sending the Shutterfly to friend who organized the trip.

Have a great day all - GO USA in soccer!

Morning ladies... a gorgeous day here today and I have hopes of taking Mason to the park today for a swing. DD is still sleeping, he had her up from 1:45 til 3am. Not sure why he will not sleep through the night?? Oh well guess he will when he is ready to. Off to the Photo Centre later today to get some pics done of Mason. Will try to post them when they are ready.

Chris - You??? on high speed?? come on that never happens, does it?? Happy Birthday my friend, I hope you have a glorious day. Grad ceremonies are so long and boring aren't they!! You must still be in a daze that he is all done school and is now so grown up and off to college soon! So proud, happy, yet kinda sad all at once. Life goes on!! Glad Cait is there to help you with your work today, take it easy my friend, we don't want to see you back at the dr's office. My finger is much better todays and I can even type without it hurting now.

Phylis - I miss you to and I have missed my "O" family for a while now, but hoping to be able to post here more often. I know that once everyone has gone back home around the middle of August, I will then complain how lonely I am and will be back to my grumpy self LOL. I hope that you decide to pick up your photoshop program again and start to scrap once more, I miss your beautiful pages and your creativity!!

Sara - Have a safe trip and you really should make time to see at least one show while you are there. I wish we would have seen the Jersey Boys when we there last year, but we missed them as they were moving to a new venue. But we did see two Cirque de Sole shows , Love and Zoomanity they were both excellent! Zoomanity was hilarious!! Liked it the best!!

Nancy - I am glad I got DD and Mason out of that horrible humidity and out here to the milder West Coast. I guess I just can't get used to that humid weather, not sure how you all stand it?? Let me know how that new printing place is, I am always looking for a good place to do photo books!

Ok have to go and take the little man to the Park, have a great day everyone! :wave:
