L Rizzy enjoys time with friends and family

Blogriffins:

Well a week and half into our return to the 'zig and it's be quite a week.  First of all- I brought back a nice little virus that had me sick like a friggin animal over here.  After flying through the night Tuesday, I was up the entire night on Friday coughing and hallucinating (it was either the sickness, the Nyquil, or the "organic" mushrooms purchased at the downstairs discount market).  At 8 am Saturday morning I had the honor of schlepping to the University to teach 6 whiney, entitled 17 year olds how to be simulated patients for 3.5 hours.  Subsequently, I graciously passed the virus onto L Mama and L Rizzy giving the Riz a wicked runny nose which made eating and breathing at the same time quite difficult for him.  Characteristically, L Mama is being a trooper in every way.

When going through our pictures from our time home we realized how many people L Rizzy got to see.  It really worked out very nicely and it helps when you all make an effort to come to us so that we don't have to spend our limited time traveling around.  It was a great visit really, and it should be great again in one years time when I get to take the test all over again.  Apparently, and I guess I was the only one to not know this, it is not "advisable" to answer "B" for every single question and have a freak out crying fit halfway through the test completed with a full on temper tantrum.  The "proctor" said I was "unprofessional" and a "total mess."  He stated that he had "never seen anything like this" in his life.  He recorded it with a cell phone video and sent it to his brother in Atlanta who got a good chuckle from it.  So I busted the "proctor's" jaw for him, urinated in the middle of the room, grabbed my coat and rolled.  I was halfway to my car when the security guards came and beat the holy bejeezus outta me.  Thanks guys- 'preciate it.  Not only did I go down like a sack-a-rocks during the exam, but now I have 2 black eyes to go with it.  For those keeping score at home, two black eyes is the maximum amount possible.

Here are some photos of the people we saw- obviously every single person we saw is not represented below, so don't be disappointed if you don't see your pretty smiling face.  Just take it as a sign that we strongly dislike you and maybe you should think twice about that box of cookies, Fun Dips and Candy Cigarettes you were getting ready to send us. (send em).
