Celebration!

Tonight is our family celebration in Dallas for Lauren's graduation! Yay!

Sadly, tomorrow I'm going to New York to visit my Dad. He's very sick in the hospital and they've just found out that his cancer has spread to the point where they are stopping treatment. :(( Weekend of ups and downs for us.


Friday Five: More Symbolism

1. Which circus act best describes you this past week?
Trapeze. So much has been going on. I cannot even describe the back and forth from this important activity/event to that one- unfortunately managed from what feels like 100 feet in the air without a net.

2. Which summer Olympic event best illustrates what your professional (or academic, if you’re still in school) life has been like lately?
Sailing. Not the strenuous Olympic version, but more a "Nantucket with friends," relaxing sort of sailing. I'm not working at all at the moment.

3. Which household chore is most symbolic lately of your romantic life?
There are so many clever answers here that my daughter would find completely unfunny.

4. What item on your current grocery-shopping list pretty much sums up your relationships with friends lately?
A six-pack of Shiner Bock. We are superfun and very close. And you could pick us up for $6. ;)

5. Which of Crayola’s standard colors has a name that would be a good title for the coming weekend?
