Graduation Weekend

I just had a lovely long weekend with Mom and Aunt Mary. Low key and lot's of food. They flew in Thursday night and I left them to their own on Friday when I went into work. They ended up running errands and I now have a dvd player and a newly cleaned stove! (I was making a 15 layer cake - from Martha Stewart - it tastes even better than it looks - but has close to two pounds of butter in it. Anyways, in a rush for a dinner party, I accidently let the icing boil over and it was a gooey, sticky mess in my stove. This was over a month ago and I have put off cleaning it hoping it would dissapear - and it did - thanks to mom and mary's elbow grease).



We shopped, watched movies, ate ribs and had an all around good time. Monday we went down to New Haven, they had come east for Nick's graduation after all, and had perfect weather for the Commencement. The setting was gorgous in the Law quad, and even though that looks like Nick in the far left of the picture, it isn't - the picture's from the 2004 commencemnt that I lifted from the web until people email me their pictures (hint, hint). Nick got to entertain us - taking us to an Indian Restaurant to celebrate, only to have to start review classes for his BAR exam the very next day - the studying never ends!



Yesterday was a crazy work day - trying to catch up after only being a way a day and a half. I ended up having to run an event in the evening, and didn't get home until 9 pm - long day! I knit several more rows on my baby sweater I am making Ann before dropping to bed and sleeping solidly for 9 hours. I just love how the sweater is knitting up and the yarn I am using, which is from my stash and over 5 years old, is suprising me how nicely it feels and looks, very relaxing. It's nice how it all works out and I love that my knitting hiatus has ended and I have had a good run of knitting projects lately - may the flow continue!
