High school graduation: no big deal

I can't download photos from my camera which means I have to do one of two things -- either show you silly photos I thought were too lame for this blog or write something meaningful about my daughter's high school graduation. 

That's right. You heard me. My daughter just graduated from high school. Don't worry. I'm taking it really well. That's not the case with some of my other friends with kids graduating.Wimps. They keep acting like it's some big deal. Me, however? I've got it under control. I mean, my daughter graduating? Whatevs. Sure, it only seems like yesterday when we took her home from the hospital bundled in a baby blanket....

Hey, have I showed you this ridiculous billboard I saw a few weeks ago? 

And here she is now. All grown up and heading to college in 94 days -- or is it 93? I'm not sure because I'm not really counting -- and why should I? It's not as if our whole household dynamic will drastically change when she's gone. Yes, I'll be the only female and her bedroom will be empty of her but full of memories from years past...

Hey, have you seen my new alligator socks? They're pretty cool.

Pretty innocuous from the top but look out below...

GOTCHA!

Yep. I'm fine. Just fine. Like I said, her graduation is no big deal. No big deal at all. Did I mention when we started her college fund fifteen years ago I thought, "Dang! When we finally cash this in I'm going to be old." 

Okay, I need another photo...Can't find one. I 'd better cut this post short before I start crying.


Too late.
