Dad and Sue drove out at 11ish yesterday. I was in nap-mode at noon, and slept until around 3, when the boy came home from work. Then we went to the bank (twice), picked up dinner and the dh and I vegged in front of SEVEN episodes of Rescue Me (the DVD is due at the library today.)
I finished my line edits and one interview, and cleaned my kitchen really well.
Today I need to get stamps, go to the library and the grocery store, and I plan to get back into the pa

Sightseeing

We took the company sightseeing yesterday. We wanted to go to the Institute of Texan Cultures, but it appeared to be closed in preparation for the Texas Folklife Festival that starts this weekend. After paying $6 for parking, though, we didn't want to leave, so went to the Tower of the Americas. It costs $11 a person to go up there! YEOWCH! Then we went to El Mercado and did some shopping before coming back, feeding Caroline and Dan and seeing them off to the a
Graduation Day
The boy graduated last night. It was a pretty nice ceremony, but we strained to see him in a class of over 600 kids. We thought we knew which one he was, then when he walked to the front of the stage, the announcer said, "Attending University of Texas at Austin." Hm, maybe not the boy. Then they mispronounced his name!!! Grrrr. But he's graduated and he's happy and he's home safe and sound, sleeping.

Graduation Day

Yesterday was the boy's grad party and was a success. Everyone seems to love my boy. Today was more low-key, thank goodness, because guess what? I'm getting a cold or something. After lunch and a quick trip to North Star so my step mother could get Crocs like mine, I got a nap. Now scrambling to get dinner on before the kid leaves. Oh, and Baby Brother took cousin and her bf sightseeing and they HAVEN'T COME BACK. ACK!
Writing today? Ha.

The family arrived last night, within 5 minutes of each other. I had hugged Caroline, met Dan, and told them they had to move the car because Dad was coming with his RV, just as Dad and Sue turned the corner!
During dinner Sue said something about being glad her shows are over for the year so she can have her life back. I think she listed 4 shows.
Um.
I have 4 shows on Thursday night! What is this life of which she speaks? I admit, the pressure is off since the end o

I should finish reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth in the next few minutes. I have Pride and Prejudice and Zombies waiting for me at the library, but I think I'm going to read the new Nora first. Two zombie books in a row may be a bit much.
Need to sweep the front and back patios. I'm waiting until a bit later so I can run the leaf blower. Need to touch up the paint in the hallway.
The dh is on vacation for a week after today, so I need to see if he plans to g

Well, I said good-bye to my babies. I cried. I miss them already. Thought I'd get at least one phone call tonight ;) I've turned in my laptops, so no more email to occupy me at work. Tomorrow I need to cover my computers, finish packing my desk and make the class lists for next year. Then we go to lunch. Cindi is bringing me home so I don't have to drive downtown.
While I was turning in my permanent records, my phone rang. The maid service was late. They were su
