Who's Happy!?

Why is Lilybeth in such a fine mood?

This is why . . .


When we stopped by campus today to make some copies, one of the administrative assistants gave LB an orange-flavored lollipop. I told her she had to wait until we got home to eat it because I didn't want sticky fingers in the car. She was a very patient little thing, and I only saw her licking the wrapper a couple of times on the ride home. As soon as we pulled up at our house, she was asking Mama for "help" with that wrapper.

We've had a hectic week here: we've all been sick, and I've been preparing for my interview in WA on Monday, plus working in the University Writing Program and taking care of final grades for my own course. I'm so glad it's Friday. I'm trying to finish up my final grades this afternoon, then I'll need to pack, and at 6AM tomorrow morning, LB, G, and I will be catching our flight up to Portland!

And one more reason to be happy today? Yesterday, I submitted this . . .
my "Notice of Intent" to finish my degree this year! Woot!
