Lots of stuff to put in here, now that I have a few minutes...
First things first - my baby sister graduated! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!
This is at the Target Center, the kids walking across the stage:
This is Amanda - that's my dad on the left and Mikey on the right:
And this is Amanda with her friend, Alicia:
Guess she's not such a baby anymore, hmm? Man, I feel old.
We've had some interesting weather lately - not this weekend, thankfully, but the last two weekends we had some nasty-looking clouds, heavy rain and hail and tornadoes.
And of course, I've a pic of Mikey and Matt, goofing around in the Dollar Store:
I love the serious look on Mikey's face:
Not too much else going on right now. Getting closer to our camping trip - looking forward to the time off and seeing a state I haven't yet seen, but still rather apprehensive about the "camping" part. I suppose I'll be able to say I've at least tried it, right? *sighs*
Here's a personality test thingy I swiped from...several people, actually:
That one was pretty close, but I also thought several of this one's characteristics applied to me:
And last but not least, a meme I swiped from
fredchikk:
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 40 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.
It was actually 37, but I hate odd numbers for memes (Yes, I'm anal-retentive.), so I upped it to 40.

Oh, wait...the mall nearest to where I live has been reinventing itself lately, and this weekend they've had a carnival. So we took Mikey and Amanda today, and they had a blast - except for "The Zipper." Mikey's usually pretty good about rides and loves going on them, but he was screaming his head off on the Zipper. And when he and Amanda got off, he looked a little shell-shocked and clung to me (but I must point out he didn't cry), and Amanda was laughing her ass off, trying to tell me in between gasps of laughter, "He was yelling, 'MOMMYYYYYYY!!!'" Highly amusing. XD
