Done with college!

Vicky graduated Friday night (although she's been finished since February), and Eric finished his second masters last week. Although Alex is in grad school, our college obligations are officially finished!

Vicky's graduation was so much smoother than Alex's. If nothing else, I had make-up, and it didn't snow! (It did rain, but we were inside.) We got to catch up with Dad, Linda, Mom and Aunt Shirley. Saturday we went to the St. Louis Zoo (per Vicky's request), and yesterday we headed home. I drove Mom and Aunt Shirley back so they could see our place, and then they braved Chicago traffic to go home. When Mom suggested that part, it seemed safe since it would be Sunday afternoon. Wrong! Traffic was awful, but they made it out safely.

I know there was more to last week than the last three days, but honestly I can't think of anything of note that happened. There isn't even anything on my calendar to give me a hint, so apparently, it was mostly cleaning up the apartment and laundry. Oh, and baking scones to take with us. I did quite a bit of research for Trevor's wartime story arc. If you missed The World Wars on the History Channel, I think they're doing a replay at the end of this month. It's well worth the time. Fascinating stuff.

We saw the new X-Men movie on Monday. That was good, and I'm not an X-Men fan. I figured you can't go wrong with Jennifer Lawrence and Hugh Jackman, though, and I was right.

So that's about it. Today it's back to the grind, and hopefully I'll get back into the routine faster than usual. We work out with our trainer tonight and I'm not looking forward to the weigh-in. Since our session starts at 6, and I will have had a full day of food (no matter how healthy) and water, I'm expecting to see a 2 in the wrong spot. That just might make me weep. We'll see.

Y'all have a good week!
