It Was a Very Good Blog...

So, yeah...I've been gone for a while. But I'm planning to make up for it in installments. Consider this, the first installment.

First of all: congratulations again to Drew and Meredith. Their union is a force to be reckoned with…

Life has been busy as of late. Yesterday, my classmates and I graduated from and said goodbye to Williams College (and each other). It was sad. It also made me realize how nice it is to have this venue with which to look back at my senior year. While geeky and lame, it did fill its purpose of giving me a place to vent about the asinine and mundane things that happened each day. Like, remember the time a pickle saved my day? How about the time I froze in Minnesota? Ooo! Ooo! And how about the time when the compost was stinking up my room? And who could forget that time that I graduated? I appreciate this blog for the opportunity to document (e.g. the inane) and the monumental.

I also realize that Umezakisauce is about to change for good as it will become a place for my friends to keep an eye on me as I try to control my classroom. And, hopefully, they will actually start to COMMENT. *cough*.

Now, I will share some lovely pictures of the past week. Starting with...


...the pure joy associated with the bus ride to Mount Hope for our senior formal.


And the girls looking lovely as we left the house…


…as did the boys.


A toast to the graduates.


Sam’s Dimples!


Samir and Abby...not drunk. Snerk.

Also, I have some pictures of the Champagne Brunch…





The camera loves Jess.


The boys of Mo East ==> Susie H.

Sigh. So much love and such good times.

Anyway, I am now in Baltimore. Managed to drive down from Old Chatham (near Williamstown) and make it to the storage place in the nick of time. We’re staying at some fancy pants hotel with high-speed internet access (score!). We took a nice walk around the harbor and had the most delicious crab cakes – my first in Baltimore. Momentous. I took pictures and will post those later…the cord is somewhere in the car right now. Just trust me when I say that the harbor is beautiful.

Tomorrow will be devoted to house/apartment-hopping. I’m sure that will be interesting.....not really.
