100 Things To Do In 1001 Days
Rosie had a great list on her web site and I thought this would be a good idea for me to help me get focused now that I'm done with grad school. Here's my list...

Shedding Winter
I met with the ladies from Ravelry for the first time last night. 
They were completely great [as to be expected]. It was a little awkward at first because there was a different group crocheting on the opposite side of the coffee shop and I only saw yarn so I went and sat with them. When it was pointed out to me that the Ravelry group was on the other side I got up and left. I hope they didn't feel shunned.
I've also been scrapbooking like a mad woman. I hadn't done any pictures since before last Easter. Chronologically the next pictures were the ones of Easter 2007 which was the last time Mike's Dad was with us before he passed [5 days later]. So I was feeling intimidated about doing those pages with the right amount of respect. I think they came out good. I'm past {sp? 'passed'?} that, and now I'm almost up to June.
Frank moved up again in Cub Scouts. We were so proud.
We sat at a table with Mark [bio-dad] and Farlae [GF of bio-dad]. I like her a lot so I never mind seeing them. I just wish they would get married.
Easter is tomorrow and I get to see my sister!! I'm very excited!

Ouch, that hurt.
Okay, so I've completed the exam. Rather, I'm done with the exam. Taking the exam this time was just a confirmation to myself that I need to move on. There was no way, without some sort of divine intervention, that I was going to pass. And that's okay. It's not for everyone, and certainly not for me. That doesn't even mean that I won't be getting a PhD. It just means I won't be getting this PhD.
I'll have a Masters Degree in Mathematics. Now, off to find a job!
On a side note, my mom and I have been making a
dollhouse for the annual auction at Frank's school. It's just the sweetest thing. I've been knitting some mini bedspreads for the beds. 
I'm afraid I have the knitting bug and now I wonder how people who love to knit ever manage to do anything else. It's a bit consuming. So much so that even the most basic things like fixing a meal become a bit of a bother because they cut into knitting time.
Change is exciting and painful all at the same time.
