I think you should go to the ceremony too. It puts a nice ‘done’ bow on things. They say it makes a difference psychologically.
I’m going to be a bad influence and say that if you don’t want to go to the grad ceremony, don’t.
I only went to mine because my parents wanted to see me graduate. They paid a lot of money for me to go to school so I figured the least I could do was attend graduation. I didn’t personally get anything out of it. I sat in The Shoe in a long black polyester robe and funny looking hat for several hours in 90 degree heat. It was just a really long, uncomfortable day for me.
If I had graduation and a comp back to back, I’d be telling everyone about my competition, not graduation. But maybe my priorities are a little screwed up.
For what it’s worth I didn’t go to my graduations past high school. Not even my Master’s.
I’ll have to check what fall quarter graduation is like, but at least i wont have to sit in the blazing sun in the shoe. well, it IS december in ohio, so thats not totally out of the question…
anway. i lifted, and there was much cuteness for the kids birthday, and my birthday had just the right amt of beer and ridiculousness. (it was tuesday)
so!
pic and video!!
Hey happy birthday.
December in Ohio - more like snow! Take your thermals.
Happy belated birthday to you and the nugget. That looks like a big bowl of icecream and cake too? And those are two very cute boys you’ve got there.
I like the HLR done in the flexed hang position. I’ll have to steal those.
cal- if by “thermals” you mean “flask full of bourbon strapped to my thigh” then why yes, it’s the first part of that outfit. you’re never fully dressed without a smile… or flask…
nads- YOU steal a hlr from ME? omg ive reached a new level of awesome (no sarcasm). yes ma’am, epic huge bowl of cake and ice cream. this is what happens when we let jason serve himself…
and bc the smallest nugget was DYING to have his own picture taken.
already tryin to fill daddy’s shoes. or go skiing.
Hmm, a hip flask is perhaps what I need for those freezing winter PE lessons.

The more time I spend in the classrooms, the more I think that these should be distributed to all teachers.
My 7th grade History teacher drank mouth wash, like every 5 minutes, lol.
I think mixed with vodka…yum!
Oh and for those of you who remember, the bitch i hit last year on a work errand is suing me for ~$11k plus damages and costs.
FML.
gonna fuel the lifting this weekend, tho.
whhhhaaaat?? damn.
Whoa!!! Have you got a good defence?
The lawyer my parents want to use is a honey badger. the guy i saw when i had stalker issues, who was honest enough to tell me that the state of ohio really doesnt give a shit about its women unless they’ve been threatened physically (I never was), but took the story and is keeping on file if anything else ever happens.
so the part of the letter that caught my eye and resonates is “negligently operating a motor vehicle.”
theyre gonna try to get me for texting while driving, and my verizon phone records show a 20 min gap between texts around the time of the accident.
two “witnesses” “saw” me texting right before the accident. they happened to be looking right at my car as it was going through the intersection, one from an upstairs window across the street and one from the front porch of the same house, and saw me steering with my elbows and the phone on the dashboard. wait wut? so they saw me through the reflective windshield and the metal/fiberglass/plastic of the vehicle. wait wut?
oh they saw me get out of the car with the phone in my hand… after i called my dad while i was still in the car to say that i had been in an accident and i was ok but the car was not.
OBVIOUSLY, because i got out of the car with the phone in my hand, i must have been texting.
those same two assholes are the ones that happened to be looking at the intersection and the light to see that i had the redlight and the other party had green.
the asshole on the front steps stuck around for a minute to try to give a statement, before the asshole int he upstairs window screamed out, “GET IN HERE THE COPS ARE GONNA COME AND THERES A WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST!”
the asshole on the front steps is related to the party i hit.
i dont know why they stopped sterilizing people in the 50’s.
counselors, there’s 3 of you reading this, and i promise i will not mind any input. willing to compensate with nekkid peekshurs.
