East Coast to East Coast

And we're back...what a weekend. From NY to CT to NJ all in the space of 4 days. So we set out Saturday evening for an event that was supposed to start at 8:00pm, got there at 10:00pm, didn't actually start until 1:00am. I mean, what planet do these people actually live on? Is there some new time zone of which the rest of the world is unaware? How do you roll up for an event at one in the morning, all decked out in your finery and ready to boogie down? I mean isn't this taking fashionably late to a whole new level?? It was almost comical, to watch people sauntering in as i laid my kids out on the blanket i had judiciously brought along (i guess i knew on some level). And to make matters worse, they called us up on to the high table! Really? At 2:00 in the morning? For those that don't know, at such events, the high table is reserved for the most prestigious and highly honored guests (believe me, I'm rolling my eyes too) - translation - "we're gonna put you in the limelight so you have to donate a big fat, whopping sum of money to our cause". Ha, but they didn't factor in my husbands savvy announcement "The Ibe family will donate an undisclosed amount to the ---- Foundation" So there! We'll see your high table, and raise you 1...lol. Anyway, we hightailed it out of there in record time and headed straight for CT.

Yale graduation was...interesting. Deans Tea on Sunday (just as stuffy and pretentious and boring as it sounds). Monday morning was general graduation. We stood in line watching all the graduates go by, i missed my husband but guess who walked right by me? Paul McCartney. That's right as i live and breath i was within touching distance of a Beetle. Yup...(let's let that marinate for a minute...). Ok, so fast forward to the ceremony which was crowded and hot and still pretentious (can these people please get over themselves? This was like the 307th commencement!). Paul got an honorary Doctorate in Music and a bunch of other important people got honorary degrees in important stuff too (eloquent right? I know...lol).

EPH graduation was in the afternoon, that was a bit better and less crowded and actually kinda cool. It started to hit me that hubby was graduating from a pretty cool school with a pretty cool degree and would most likely do some pretty cool stuff in the future. Cool.

We headed out to NJ last night and got in around 9:00pm. Needless to say i was dead tired. We picked up the nanny (thank God) and I handed the kids over and went straight to bed (hey, no judging!). All in all, it was a great weekend. Tata...
