Patrick now joins the ranks of the educated and diploma-holding, so congrats to him. I just came from a big shin-dig at his house, where I watched as awkward divorced halves mingled with one another, as well as with us, the friends, and some of Amber’s family. It was a fun time — good food and yummy birthday and graduation cake. Poor Phillip, Patrick’s brother. His birthday is today, of all days. It’s almost like having your birthday on Christmas!<\/i> <\/p>\n
Marie and Katie also join those coveted ranks, though I didn’t get to see them after the ceremony. I wonder if they’ll be at Patty’s party tonight…<\/p>\n
Last night my pals chipped in and gave me a gift card to Books-a-Million, to make my quest for summer reading way more affordable. That fucking rocks. I already know what I’m going to get. Kristin even made me a cool photo collage board to hang up in my drab little room. We sat around in the late evening and had some drinks. Amber and I dribbled a bit of ours on both of Amanda’s throw pillows, and — in our usual fashion — we kvetched about our own clumsiness and tried to blot the damage out with paper towels. One of these days, when I have a house, so help me, I am going to host the party and give Amanda and Nick and Katie the chance to muddy my<\/i> floors and soil my<\/i> pillows. <\/p>\n
But until then, and until the party tonight, I need a nap. I’ve got a huge day of packing ahead of me, and chances are, I’ll be way hungover. So why not get some rest now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
