11. Made serious progress with the dissertation. The end is in sight.

12. Learned that driving across country with two pets and spending at least 120 hours in a row with my husband for company proves that I at least made one excellent decision in my life. We didn't fight once, and we laughed more than bitched. That's love, folks.

Happy New Year!
May 2011 be better than 2010
