Just a note

Apples, before they become apples.

Just a note: I haven't been able to come around and comment on all of your blogs as much as I would like to, so I just wanted you to know that I haven't gone missing and I am still peeking in whenever I have a few moments of time, but things are just really busy right now. I have my committee meeting on Monday - where I'll be getting down on my knees and begging the panel of professors who gets to decide if and when I can graduate (well, close enough of a description, anyway), so hopefully I'll be back to check up on all of you as soon as that's over and I have a little extra time to do the other things I enjoy. Until then, happy cooking! I can't wait to see what wonderful things have been coming out of your kitchens!

Best, Michelle

Been missing you but I think we all know that real life gets in the way sometimes. Take your time and do what needs to be done. We'll be here when you're back. Lots of hugs!!

Michelle, do I need to come over there and shake some sense into these stuffed shirts? They should know that you are a good researcher and you can COOK. Bring them a buffet and you will get them! Food does wonders for people's attitudes every time.

Again, thanks so very much for my box. I get a zing from that tea every time I drink it! Powerful stuff!

Oh, come on! This is just your way of seeing whether WE come to visit YOU!!
(And we do.) ;)

I hope it goes great. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. (As the saying went, around the time I decided to blow off my orals... Ew, that sounds porny. I meant "decided to forgo the PhD.")

Thinking of you... I echo clare's sentiment. We miss you!

Thanks again, everyone, for your support and comments - I've missed you and I'm sorry I just disappeared!

KQ: committee meetings are not yet your dissertation defense, but your committee is the ones you have to defend it to when the time comes. They're there to check your progress every year to ensure that you're doing what you're supposed to.

Cookiecrumb: Yeah, that does sound pretty porny! I would expect nothing less from you! :) I love dazzling my committee with bullshit every chance I get!
