Completely Insane

Yup. I am still alive, but I am completely insane! My best friend graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University the week before the end of school. For those that don't know I work for the schools here. I decided I was going after I sold my old camera and didn't sell the lens with it. I had intended to buy a lens with the money. Since I didn't have to replace the lens I asked my oldest friend if she had room for me to come to her graduation. She was so elated! I was driving to Richmond, VA by myself. I was going to leave Thursday get there Thursday night and hang out with her Friday, watch her graduate on Saturday and drive home. My mom found out I was going by myself since my husband has to give 2 weeks notice and she freaked.

momacita - You can't drive 11 hours by yourself!

me - Why not!? Jodie (my friend) does it all the time!

momacita - You aren't used to driving that far by yourself! Let me see if I can get time off.

Just so you know my mom is completely insane too as she works for the schools as well.

When my dad heard he didn't want us going that far on such a quick turn around by ourselves as my mom's knees are really bothering her. The doctor has already told her she needs total knee replacement in one of them. So my dad went too! :)

It was such a blast! I gained a couple pounds due to the awesome local restaurants, but it was worth every ounce! And Jodie, my parent's, her family and friends made driving there worth every mile. We went to Hollywood Cemetery and walked up and down Monument Blvd. I ended up taking Monday off to recoup and got back to work after my 5 day weekend swamped! Even worse than before. I thought that I was about caught up! It has taken me this long to get back to where I was.

There is more to come. I can't wait to catch up with you all!
