My dissertation is wending its way to Albuquerque as I type. It was a nail-biting day at times, especially when Maddie ran away (yet again) while Neal raked the yard and I proofread. We had her back in less than an hour, luckily.
This new (well six-month-old), still-unnamed computer has Vista on it. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out some of the formatting crap I needed to, but I have time before I need to print off my final copy to shelve.
It’s exciting to see fewer and fewer hurdles in front of me. I have my defense in two weeks, and a few smaller projects for my Chaucer class. That’s it. I’ll be done. I love this feeling, this sense that it’s really going to happen (knock wood).
Neal stopped at a packie for me on the way home so I could get what I crave most right now. I’ll sip away as I work on my Shetland Lace Triangle. Probably not the smartest thing I’ve ever done, drink and knit, but I’ve earned the right to play dumb for a while!
Share my happiness by telling me what’s making you feel good right now (keep it clean, you!).
Hey that is such great news, what a fantastic feeling. I remember finishing my dissertation and finally felling that I could go into a bookstore and read for pleasure!
Making me happy: I am going to the South of France on Sat. BY MYSELF!
Woohoo! Raise that glass of brew, to you! (pardon me while I channel Dr. Suess…)
I have spent the evening sitting on a cushion, my back warmed by the fire I built in my fireplace in my living room, knitting sock #2 for my hubby watching “Don’t Forget the Lyrics”. Definitely a good night!
Congratulations! Enjoy that Guinness, you deserve it!
What is making me happy right now? Crochet with cotton yarn.
You are simply AWESOME! I was thinking about you yesterday and feeling your joy at the mailbox.
Hmmm…what’s making me happy today? I think the outpouring of donations to my MS walk team is making me happiest right now. It’s great to feel that loved.

What’s making me happy right now? Only that my dear friend has worked so hard for her well-earned right to relax. Other than that, let’s just say that I have a few hurdles of my own. Without committing that awful sin of wishing my life away, I admit that I am looking forward to May and my own break between classes.
**Thanks for sharing your happiness with us all.**
Congrats! Progress is making me happy this week.
Yay! I am so happy for you that the end is truly in sight. What a great feeling you must have.
I am also happy because after two weeks in the hospital I am out and feeling almost human again!
Fantastic news! Yay Bev!
As far as happiness, I just spent a lovely week with my kids. We had a great time together.
Woo hoo! Congratulations!
Yea!!! Hearing that others are happy makes me feel good so thanks and congrats!
