It's amazing how I forget certain things! Like my PIN (but don't worry, we're not revisiting that really). In all the posting about Daynah's graduation and graduations in general, I forgot to mention that this year is a milestone year for me in regard to graduations. I graduated from high school 15 years ago! It's kind of hard to believe, but it is true. And do you know how I came to this realization? I'm sure you really want to know (although, I have to warn you, sometimes it is scary to learn how my mind works). I was driving in my car, flipping through my button that tells me mileage, miles per gallon, temperature, and oil level. When I got to the one that says I have almost 103,000 miles on my car, I remembered the conversation I had with my mom this weekend where she informed me that she has about 118,000 miles on her car. She is looking to buy a new car soon because hers is OLD. But I couldn't remember how old. I was convinced it was 13 years, so I started thinking about when she got her car. And I realized she got it the year I graduated from college (because I got her old car). And then I did the math. And I realized that it was 15 years. And then I said, "Oh my gosh, I graduated from high school 15 years ago!" And then I got sad for two reasons. If I think mom's car is OLD, that means I am OLD. And also because I realized that my car is 10 years younger than hers and has almost the same amount of miles. And that is how my mind works...sometimes...
