Wow, it has been an entire month. This time last month I was bouncing with excitement at the thought that I would graduate in one week. Well the blessed (cursed) day came, David left that morning for work around 4/5 a.m., I heard our friend Dianna get up around 6 as she had spent the night so she could make it to her graduation at 7:30, and yours truly rose around 8. I decided to relax in the bath as I prepared for the day. David had previously given me permission to use his razor as mine truly sucks and I decided this was the perfect time to achieve a 'close' shave. Well friends CLOSE is what I got. After removing four inches of skin from my shin bone I decided that maybe, just maybe, I could deal with a bit of stubble. The day then progressed in like fashion.
I arrived at the school late, rushed across two large parking lots and a busy street only to realize that I had left my hat and tassel in the car. I ran in my heels back to the car as the 'rain drops kept fallin on my head,' found said hat (it took a minute), and hustled my self back towards the school. By the time I made it in the building I was windblown and damp from the ensuing storm. I stopped in at Dianna's graduation which was still in the speech phase and decided to run to work and finished getting ready. By the time I made it across campus (why can't they install those moving walkways like they have in the airports?!?!) blood was beginning to drip down my leg as I had removed the wad'o'toilet paper when I left my car. I entered the bathroom and got to work around the same time David caught up with me to let me know he had been given the day off. He entered the sacred space of the girls bathroom, locked the door (there is a lock on that thing!?), and changed while I hurriedly put in my make up. We then trotted our little feet back to Dianna's graduation just in time to watch the students walk across the stage and receive their diploma covers. We cheered appropriately and left for the next event. I wont bore you with the rest of the day's details, some of which were quite wonderful, others not so much (such as when the neglected to read my degree......grrrrrrrrrrrrr).
As life evolved after that fateful day, I expected to be left with much time upon my hands......as you all know this is not the case in life. Work became very involving especially when my counterpart left for California for a week, the same week I started helping my Aunt itemize her and her spouses belongings in one truly nasty divorce. That week I put in around 40 hours at work and 40 hours typing up itemized lists. By the end of the week I was exhausted, hysterical, and hemorrhaging blood from a freak monthly flow/pregnancy scare. Yeah, in all it has been one heck of a month. Put on top of that five weddings (no funerals as of yet) and I am taking a MUCH needed break. Today I have lounged around the house, ran to the bank, gone to the book store, grabbed some InNOut, and checked out the blog scene. To all of my favorite blog authors.....Where is my amusement?!?!? Please update! As I screamed this thought at the computer I decided that I must not be a hypocrite and promptly began updating the world on the in's and out's of my life....as if you really care.
***Update. I am excitedly taking two weeks of vacation this summer......something unheard of for yours truly, and especially my spouse. We are so excited that we began buying souvenirs early....just kidding. We are going to Disneyland and I love pin trading. I decided to buy some pins on-line to trade so I did not spend tons on them in the park...besides its the trading that makes it so much fun. To do this I fell of the bandwagon and got on Ebay. Now I remember why I have been banned from that site for so long. in 18 hours I have bought 70 Disney Pins. Its time to take away my bidding ability!
