Today is Chris's 21st birthday! Yay!
He got a lot of cards (some with money!) and a funny golfer's voodoo kit from his best friend. I gave him a watch that was too big on his small wrist =( and a flask engraved with his intials (I couldn't resist). We went out to dinner with my parents in Palo Alto and he ordered a drink at the bar, a Tequila Sunrise (his first legal drink!). Then at dinner, he got served a glass of champagne! And got wine with dinner! haha! My mom really wanted to take a pictue of the three drinks in front of him, and then send it to his mom. But we had no camera, and probably best not to send that kind of picture to his mother. Oh well. Then my parents got him cufflinks, which they've been meaning to give him despite his hatred of dressing up. They figure maybe someday when/if he has a tuxedo of his own, I guess. Anyway, then they also got him a cake! Then I drove home. =)

This past weekend, I went to my sister's graduation from grad school! She graduated from California College of Art (formerly known as California College of Arts and Crafts or CCAC)... The ceremony was 3 HOURS long!! Ugh and so boring. They had some famous beat poet perform a piece.. It was long and weird. I think you had to be on acid to understand. Oh well time for pictures:

It's really too dark to see, but there's my sister getting a sash (they get a sash, not a piece of paper, how cool is that?! But she didn't get to keep it. How cheap)... And at CCA, they wear black berets, not those square hats... lol That's art school for ya!

Here's my sister at graduation dinner... It's a bad picture, 'cuz my dad took it.

Here is my sister and her dad (my mom's ex husband) and his daughter, which means my sister's half sister. Ok, so Ginny is my half sister, too. So, really, it's my half-sister's half-sister.. I know, it's really confusing.. =( Just know that I'm not blood related to any of these people except my sister...

OK, I've put you all through enough torture of looking at people you don't know/probably don't care to know... Here's Chris and I...
