Captain T

There was cause for much rejoicing Tuesday evening and into the early morning of Wednesday. I have only 25 minutes to tell you about it. This is a very concerning thought because the well of my brain is very deep and the bucket that I dip into it with is very tippy. Whenever I blog, I have to be extremely careful and, therefore, slow.
Anyway, on to Tuesday evening. Big Baby, Antlers, and I traveled up to Lacy for him to take his tests. The last two tests separating him from the continuation of his future. Big Baby and I went shopping at Mervyns while he was tested.
We waited in the car during the last 15 minutes. I was listening to Fireflight and praying that my stomach wouldn't digest itself. Big Baby was squeaking and groaning with nervousness. Finally, we gasped in unison. We saw him through the window. He was shaking the man's hand. At this time, my sister was hyperventilating. We ran out and by the time I reached him, B.B. was shrieking and he was twirling her around. She and I did the can-can while he called his parents. He picked me up and practically chocked me while she called Mom. Then we whooped and hollered some more. I think he passed.
We went to Applebee's and sat by a poster of Leanne Rhymes while we ate chicken and salmon and rice and linguine.
To make a long story short. We didn't leave Olympia until 11:00. I finally fell into bed and listened to the last song of Set It Off at 1:00 am.
