done and done.

Dissertation defended.  The fifteen minutes I sat outside the room before my committee chair came to congratulate me was the longest fifteen minutes this gal has ever seen.  Wow.  So thank you all for the well wishes and confidence boosters, both yesterday and in the months leading up where I whined and fussed and freaked out at anyone who would sit still long enough to listen to me.

Y'all rock.  Just sayin'.

(oh, and in case you haven't seen it, the wish post is up at insmallpackages.  Go forth.  Make wishes.  Quite suddenly I have a little more time on my hands and I wanna make you guys stuff.)
