Sometimes all you need is hooters
I am happy. And serene. I have decided that this time around I’m not letting this wait affect me. I had an iffy but what iffy phase, but I am OK now. Go figure!
I am at the end of a 4 day weekend. Today wasn’t so much a day off as a mad race to get so much accomplished. I went to the dr, scheduled a bunch of tests for the 23rd of September (I know, 2 and a half months… However, I’m not paying for them, so it’s all good), then I went to my University and got my degree on fancy paper (almost 6 years to the day later!). I then dropped off some stuff for my mom, went to the bank and finally got home. In a puddle of sweat and accomplishment. I spent the afternoon with my mom. She’s nervous, understandably, I am, shall I restate this, serene, inexplicably. I bought her a DS last week and now she’s brain training all the time. And still knittin like a fiend.
We went to a 4th of July party at the US Embassy at the Holy See and it was fun. If only because I can say I have been to a 4th of July party at the US Embassy at the Holy See. Ben and I sat around and enjoyed the vast array of cardinals. And Gina Lollobrigida. Oh yeah! Gina’s only purpose in life, other than keeping up the hairspray industry, is to remind me of Roberto. I must get to London soon and introduce Ben to the wonder that Roberto is. All these people in my life, such awesome people. I also got back in touch with the guy that sat next to me all throughout my last year of high-school, Giordano. He has made a movie and it has won prizes. I am so proud. We started emailing back and forth and it’s been quite rockingly fun tthinking back to that time in my life. This is the man, for the record and if I have ever used this line on you, that would come back from the bathroom with wet hands, wipe them on me and then say "I apologize, my hand slipped in the toilet". Good good times.
And now I go enjoy my Hooters. On chicken. Yumm!
