i know, it has been too long.  i admit i'm getting addicted to facebook. it's just so much more convenient.  wow. may went by soooo fast and i think i've never been so busy within a month like that before.

i mean, first there were the finals during the first week of may (i aced them!). tim's birthday fell on that weekend and we celebrated by paintballing and barhopping.  tyler came and stayed at our place for like two weeks for the graduation- not only that, two roomies of mine graduated and their families were in town.  we put on our best behavior although it wasn't much different than normal.  there were also the red sox games (two of them!!!), artomatic, and king's dominion. i also went home for the memorial day weekend.  it was INSANE.

graduation was bittersweet- all of the families in town for their proud graduate. it made me miss my grandpa, my graduation was the only one he attended out of our grandkids (i'm the first grandchild).  it also signifies that it has been three years since i graduated and there are still people asking me if i am a gallaudet student (damn it, I WAS!).  it was also fun having all of the friends in town and celebrating with them.  that helped a lot!

another highlight- memorial day weekend, i got to see my favorites.  sienna loves to sign my name and my heart swells everytime i see her sign it! i got a place in her life yay! i had a great quality time with my best friend which was very overdue! what's even better- she's here in town and i get to have that again! i got to spend time with my family- got drunk with my sister and got to see all the kids i graduated with from high school (they really do stay... wow). i also visited my deaf school because they had may breakfast and it has been 7 years.  too long.  i got to say, some things just DON'T change... and the teachers were so shocked to see me.  and glad, of course.  but it was also sad because they won't be there forever and i guess i came at the right time. they're going to build a new school and destroy what history we had.  hopefully some things can be saved.

i'm back in dc and already back to being a busybody.  i can't wait to become a college professor, if ever, to have the summers off! i miss having nothing to worry about.  at least i have the summer off not from work, but from school!  this weekend should be a good one- there's dphh with niki in towwww! then there's the softball tourney all day on saturday- i hopeeeee it's a sunny day so we can get some color :) i have no summer plans in concrete because of work cept for the family mini-vacay in baltimore in august (for another redsox game)!! i hope tim and i get to escape briefly before i start my fall semester, there's just too much going on at work and i haven't gotten the idea of how it will work out and when i would be able to get time off.  we'll see!

ooo! one thing to sharee .. tim and i are getting a tattoo machine soon (when i ever get my stimulus ... stupid me, it's not direct deposit)... and he'll start practicing then ink people.  he'll probably ink me my first tattoo if i can ever think of one that i would want to live with forever! haha!! but we're excited about it because it has been talked about for too long and finally we're getting closer to that goal! one other thing i'm getting with that money- a BIKE!! so i will have my own to use anytime to my liking.  i've been borrowing ally's sister's bike and she's going to want it back. yikesabee! ok off i go to hope for no rain so i can play softball tonight!!

i'll try to come back and update sooner this time around! xanga yall later!
