Of Graduations and Things...

I attended my buddy "W"'s daughters graduation last night.  It was really beautiful.  I was kind of dreading it because it's a christian school (Don't get me wrong...I believe in God, I just have a thing about people shoving it down my throat), but it was actually one of the most beautiful ones I've been too.  There was a lot of active participation and what I really loved is that they opened with the Pledge and the singing of our National Anthem.  It really doesn't get much sweeter than that.

"S" was valedictorian of her class and gave a fantastic speech.  Very realistic, a good smattering of humor, but clear in her convictions and goals.  And she was stunningly beautiful.  I also saw "W"'s ex husband "T" (If you recall in a previous blog, I had a dream where I hacked him to death with a samurai katana...not very pretty), and he wondered if I remembered him...like I could forget... But we were all well behaved and we knew why we were there...for "S".

If you don't live in the area...we're experiencing a heat wave and it was like 102 yesterday, so when we walked out of the building at 9:20 p.m., we were hit with a wall of heat.  I actually don't mind it much, but "D" asked if we all wanted to go to her place and swim.  We all agreed to meet there, and I got there about 10:15. That was a refreshing dip.  We drank wine by the poolside, snacked, ate Tiramisu, and played Dominoes until 1:30 in the morning.  By the time I got home and into bed, it was past 3 a.m.  All and all, another top night.

As soon as I finish with this blog, I'm getting dressed and headed to the yearly HS reunion that we have at the river.  Unfortunately, I committed to go months ago, but for the first time, it looks like no one is going, except the host "R"...yes, the guy who I had a crush on in Jr. HS, but who never had the time of day for me in HS (well, before the deep throat letter anyway), and has pursued me for the last couple of years.  It looks like he's finally going to get his wish...him and I alone together.  I gave my word, so I'm going...but remember my previous blog...no guy from HS will ever be able to say what I'm like, because it ain't gonna happen!

But I am in a mood to tear it up a bit, so I'm wearing a Victoria Secret summer crochet short dress with a halter top.  It's watermelon color, which seems to be the "Hot" color this season (yeah, I talk like I know these things, but I'm just parroting what my BFF K told me), but I'm just not sure of this dress on me.  I may have to dye it a deeper color like a burgundy red...that would suit me better.  We'll see.  I'll see if I can't get a picture and post it later.

See ya Peeps!
