WOOT WOOT GRAD PARTAY!

My brother is offic a college grad! I am SUPES proud of him--he graduated magna cum laude. Like a boss. We had to stay overnight in one of the women's dorms because my mother didn't schedule reservations soon enough, and let me tell you, we are pampered in our dear fischy-fisch. Communal showers that are like a square foot? No thanks. Slash, let me repeat: communal. Totes not okay. (...Sorry, Mo. You'll understand soon enough.) Anyway, my parents basically didn't sleep because apparently dorms are loud. Somehow I didn't notice...haha. Stew was a total stud at graduation, clearly. Again, supes proud....especially when I finally met his (once again official) girl friend!!! She's cute and sweet, and they seem great together. Actual conversation between Stew and I:
        "She seems really great, Stew. She's cute!"
        * Ridiculous wistful look* "She's adorable."
Awww, shucks. And she told Stew that she likes me, so people points for Sarah! ;) ;) haha I'm glad that the awk first meeting is over and went well.

So I'm rocking this whole baking thing--I had already baked/decorated a cake last weekend for my mum's birthday and baked cookies mid-week, and then as we were driving back (mum and I took a separate car so that we would be able to leave earlier and the guys could move Stew out with more space), I realized that nothing had been planned as a celebration for later...so I casually whipped up a chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache as a grad cake. WHATTTT? I WILL be a baking beast by the time we get back--I am determined! Of course, a rather generous amount of reading just came in for my Victorian Lit class in the fall...so soon I will be buried in books once more! :)
