Growing up and getting older

So this weekend. I went home, had "The Talk" with the parents (no, not THAT talk, The Future talk). They approve of both plans. For now I'll just do the best I can and keep on working for what I want.

In other news, I'm officially growing up. Got my first real, grown up, passed down from the mother gifts. I won my first piece of Mason's Plantation Colonial (my mothers china which isn't actually china but something else). I also got a set of silver. Sweet. Thanks Mom!

I also got to watch my mom work. "I think she should create peace in the Middle East" (Rachel Sirinek). She kicks butt; I'm not sure she could create peace in the Middle East but she is pretty awesome.
