i feel like i should post something to draw focus/attention away from the past 2 posts on chivalry ;) but i don't really have much to say. Oh...btw, i should put a disclaimer that the list on my friend's post does not necessarily reflect my personal views and opinions. i linked to it more to be informative. :D

My brother passed his quals. So now he's officially an PhD candidate. and now he can relax cuz he plans on taking full advantage of his full ride & stipend and is in no hurry to graduate. :) heh heh

My dad flew in yesterday night from Kunming so we'll be celebrating his bday and father's day (cuz i'll be gone on a church retreat and mimi & myron'll be busy the weekend after) this saturday! think we're gonna be making sushi and lobster and thai spring rolls...i'll probably make a pecan pie while i'm at it (it's my dad's fav...no oil and lots of sugar).

Thankfully, i believe the last of the activities i need to help with are over and hopefully i'm gonna get a break from organizing stuff for a little bit. Ahhhhhhh....that'll be nice cuz i feel like i've been jumping from one event to another since Feb (ski trip, scavenger hunt, europe, GA...). whew! it's been a busy couple of months. so i look forward to a bit of downtime.
