Master Neu

HE DID IT!!! After many years, a lot of late nights and weekends, and more projects than he cares to remember, Jon has finally earned his MBA and is done with school. Forever. And ever. Never to go back again, if I have anything to say about it...and I think I do. As much as I loath graduation ceremonies...let's face it, they are painful... the Hooding Ceremony was a lovely bit of closure for all the time and effort.

Now as it turns out nursing is a pretty sweet gig. So, no immediate plans to look for a new job just yet. I am really looking forward to having Jon home at 3:30 everyday with nothing hanging over his head. Ohhhh the honey-do list I have compiled over the last 2 1/2 years!

Conversation with Bits

A couple of days ago Elizabeth asked, "Mom, what happens when you have too much throw-up in you?"

I replied, "It comes out."

Then Bits informed me, "Yeah, and you turn into an ogre."

It was all very matter of fact. Who knew?

P.S. Elizabeth and Bits are the same person.
