Post-mother's day post

SO I hope you all had a great mother's day! I hope you made your mom feel really special. I think my mom had a good one. At least I hope she did. I went up and had breakfast with her at Lafayette Park, then I gave her her card and gift - a gift card to Park Ave. Coffee and the offer for me to work at the shop Thursday night and Sunday morning. Then Daddy and I cleaned the house while she worked the shop and I got to study a little. Emily came in with the Centenary improv troupe, Alan's Hot Tub. Luke got in late, he had to drive a girl who couldn't leave in the morning. You all missed a really great show, it was HILARIOUS! The kids were great and yours truly plus her mom got to jump into the "tub" and play! Awesomeness. Today Mom and Dad made the troupe breakfast and they headed out. So I think Mom had a good mother's day. I know she made me feel special - she gave me a necklace as a congratulations on finishing my exit project and to cheer me up cause I was bummed after Rosalie. It's got symbols for the things I care about - a star, for guiding me to the perfect job, a cross for my church, and a paw print for dogs/Bixby. I love my mom. Happy mother's day everybody!

Today I picked up my glasses. Yes I need glasses. The prescription's real slight, but I can definitely see better now. AND they look great, they definitely make me look older.

I also went to get my M-2 form. I kept waiting for the committee member I'd left the form with to come in so I could grab the form and take it to the committee chair. Waited 45 mins. Nothing. Then I got an e-mail from Jay saying Lankford, my chair, had it with both signatures and was bringing it to him. So that's in, and my exit project is DONE! So I just have a historiography paper due Wednesday and I am DONE WITH GRAD SCHOOL!!!!!!

Here's the potentially great news I got today. It has to do with the job description I referenced earlier. I tried to use a metaphor but I just couldn't get it to work so here goes. Basically I found out that the guy at the Ford House that I'm sending my stuff in to/would be my boss graduated from the UMSL museum studies program AND did his GRA at Campbell House. Yeah. Granted this does not guarantee me anything. BUT the fact that we have similar credentials may help me get a second look, rather than 20 secs and in the trash. AND it means he knows Campbell House, so I won't get the "This will teach you about small museums" I did from Rosalie. AND he knows 2 of my references. :-)

That's it. Hope you all had a good mother's day!
