He has been invited to numerous parties which makes it a bit more complicated but at least we don't have a formal ceremony to worry about. He has his 8th grade BBQ which is students only and then the next day he and bunch of kids are going to IHop to celebrate. Easy peasy!<br /><br />However, DC is looming and I am getting nervous and twitchy and weird.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-73728995379928930282012-05-21T12:46:20.248-04:002012-05-21T12:46:20.248-04:00At least you can see the light at the end of the t...At least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, right? That's always something. <br /><br />So glad you are enjoying Gillian Flynn's novel. I really need to give her a try. I say that about so many authors . . .
