My cousin doesn't seem unduly worried - just a trifle amused at attempting to escape rain in the midwest only to discover more and bigger rain on the Gulf Coast.

My boss is in Mexico on vacation right now. I told her I hoped she has a nice hotel room since she will be seeing a lot of the inside of it.

We did that whole seasonal color thing back in the '80s, and my mom is a fall, my sister is a winter, and I'm a summer with ability to wear some winter colors with middling success. My best color is peach--just about every time I wear a peach shirt or dress, I get compliments galore, especially if I have a light tan (which is all I can ever manage before it progresses to bad burn).

Almost forgot! dissertation~ma for all!

I guess I'm a Winter.

Wow, those cakes are something else. What, I'm not sure.

Amazing cakes. Baby cakes are just wrong.

We have achieved PhD! They signed off and are taking him to lunch. He said it went very well. There are a few revisions but nothing serious. This afternoon he faces the person who measures to make sure the margins are the right sizes, who may be even more terrifying.

Congratulations

We have achieved PhD!

Woot!

WOOHOO!!
