the graduation weekend is over. we all survived and smiled throughout. i'm as exhausted today as i was after wedding weekend which must mean that fun was had by all. ABN is now completely and officially and 100% done and that is a very good and exciting thing. he spoke absolutely beautifully and brilliantly and i even got a shoutout - i felt so special! highlights from the weekend included a special friday night dinner at blue ginger (ming tsai is now a personal friend), a kick-ass surprise for ABN on saturday night complete with whipped cream, friends from near and far, cup cakes from westport and grandma's chocolate cake by way of my kitchen, an incredible homemade meal by DBN including the best green soup i've ever tasted, pasta from scratch and garlic chicken (OH GARLIC CHICKEN!!!), ABN walking around post-commencement wearing his big bird name tag from his first day of pre-school, a stop for proseco and salami and mustard with my two favorite women in newton and a final dinner in AHHHHHHHHHHHlington that included MY CURLY FRIEND and BESTIE. and there were no tears.
i'm so tired that each of my joints hurt...even my fingers as i type. it takes a lot of energy to be such a supportive wife.
i'm catching up on all the things i've missed over the last few days - looking at various graduation/ordination pictures on facebook, checking in with grandma, checking and re-checking people.com for
ashlee's wedding photos and trying to make some headway through my jam-packed dvr.
i've recently started watching
jon and kate plus 8...i'm oddly fascinated and at the same time terrified by this family. for the most part i've found the kids amusing, especially the little boy with glasses but can't stand the parents, although i do feel bad for judging....after all they have 8 children! i have to fast-forward through the credits at the beginning of each episode because they show pictures of kate when she has
six tiny babies in her and its just so big it makes me nervous/anxious/nauseous. ich. sorry.
i just watched house. i love house. it was the episode before the season finale which is now on in half an hour. i'm too excited about this. and gossip girl too. but what will i do now that all of my shows are going into reruns? i already feel a bit empty, knowing that the office is gone until the fall. i will have to think of other ways to spend my time...maybe a walk would do me some good.
as a side note, i've gotten word that THE KING doesn't like his name. i'm going to take this as growth on his part (since i called him THE KING all through college and he didn't seem to mind it then). i haven't settled on a new name yet so....i'm taking suggestions. my dad says i used to call him something else but i can't remember what it was (i did briefly call him THE BROTHER when he was in a frat, but that doesn't really fit anymore and my dad insists there was another name too).
alright, its time to get ABN a slice of grandma's chocolate cake....he's getting ready to travel later in the week...i'm sure there will be more on this later...
