Graduation Season

I've just returned home from a very long and busy weekend. My cousin on my mom's side graduated from high school last Thurs. night, so we went to Tulsa for the weekend. It was fun going and spending time with family that I only see a few times a year. It's only about a 4 hour car trip, which isn't bad at all. On the way down, we stopped at the arch across the highway. As you might have guessed, there was a McDonald's inside where I started my Shrek glass collection. The only one I didn't get over the weekend was the donkey glass, but I ordered it on eBay as soon as I got home.

There were a total of 68 kids in my cousin's class, which made for a long evening when they announced different things for each senior (like where he/she was going to college, who he/she would like to thank, etc...). The coolest thing about the whole evening was the bag pipe band the led the procession/recession.

On Friday my uncle took us to Jenks to do some antique shopping. I found a store called Peace Frog Store where found some cool frog shirts for my grandpa and cousin.

We spent the rest of the weekend visiting and shopping at the mall and a Super Target. My mom hadn't been to a Super Target, so we had to take her.

When I got home Sunday (my birthday), my grandmother told me the cat got trapped in my room for a day and a half before he was missed, and crapped. She didn't clean it up, why I don't know. Luckily, he chose the middle of the floor where it could be easily spotted. Needless to say it was the worst birthday present I've received to this date.

Today I unpacked and cleaned on the house. It's almost spotless, or as spotless as it will ever be :-)
