A glimmer!

Julia got waitlisted to Reed, and they invited her to send in "additional materials"... stuff like the reference letter she's getting from the president of Penn Valley, and her two awards, and YAY! I'm so freakin' proud of her. My baby girl, all growed up and ready to run away to school!

And tomorrow, I'm on a plane at ridiculous-o-clock a.m. Can't WAIT! Wheeeee!

Yep, I'm excited! I hope Dr. Franklin gets me that rec letter soon enough to submit it.

One thing... I'd kind of rather you let me tell people things like this, or at least waited until I got home from work and had a chance to post first. Actually, I'd rather you called me and got permission before you opened letters addressed to me, too, if that's cool. Thanks.

Hope you're having a great time in CA!

Gee, I feel much the same. In fact, when my *partner* of 16+ years opens my mail, she tells me first (and then I call her a felon). But it's never important stuff when she does that, and I totally understand how you feel.

(And I agree about the announcing thing, although I also know how yer mom feels.)

well, last time you said "yes, please open it! it's fine for you to open that stuff!" so i extrapolated to it being ok for this one. i won't do that again.

and i did try to call!

and i'm afraid that i'm just gonna brag on you no matter what. i'll try to wait a bit longer, but when you are braggable, you are really, REALLY braggable, and it's very hard to resist.

hope you're feeling better soon!

last time you said "yes, please open it! it's fine for you to open that stuff!"

Last time, I said to open it while I was on the phone. There's a difference.
