My sister Kate finished her Masters Thesis this weekend, pretty official binding and all. So our regular Sunday night dinner was more of a celebration last night. After months, of quite frankly, HELL I think we are all pleased that it is O-V-E-R.

So last night I first tried to force my sister to pose with our close personal frenemy Thesis, but she refused.

This is the “I’m just going to go ahead and ignore you and text my friends. Friends who wouldn’t FORCE me to pose in a picture.” picture.

After dinner, my sis and I stayed out and moved over to the bar. Naturally to get Thesis a little drunk.

Things started out ok: Thesis decided on a beer, and sipped away. Then a few more friends showed up and Thesis got a little out of control.

Apparently Thesis has never heard the old nursery rhyme: “Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear. Beer before liquor, never been sicker…”

Eventually we just lost control of Thesis and there was no reasoning to be had.

Thesis got SLOPPY.

Eventually Kate and I had to take away Thesis’s keys, throw Thesis in the backseat of the car and roll the windows down to get home.

Kate and I had a grand evening out with friends celebrating the completion of Thesis. Thesis, on the other hand, was a hot mess:

Kate’s passing Thesis off to the school today. THEY can deal with this rowdy fool from here on out.

Tell Kate congrats! SHE’S DONE!
