Forget-Me-Not!



Bonjour tout le monde! I am still here, I have not faded away into the shadows, so please don't forget me! I just wanted to say MERCI BEAUCOUP to everyone that has said a little prayer, thought good thoughts or just dropped me a line asking me about my progress with my thesis. I have used my time wisely and I have written two out of three chapters!

My adviser was so wise in giving me the most difficult chapter to write in the beginning of my journey. The last chapter will not be easy, but most definitely more manageable since I got the other two completed. Now it is just revisions to tend to.

My dear husband has been away in South Africa on business with his colleagues; I await eagerly for his return!



When he comes back, he will bring the camera and I will resume posting. I have missed you all so much, but I was fortunate enough to be close to the computer at all times so that I could visit you all.

Have a great week and see you again soon!

Fondly, Anita

Oops.. J'ai oublié mettre l'accent aigu sur "éspère." Et j'ai remarqué quelques choses de nouvelles sur votre blog. Je l'aime! (Je pense qu'il y a aussi des fautes dans ce(tte) commentaire-ci!

Your 'far-away' romance at the moment could be a book in itself no?

at least in my head it does......

studioJudith said...

Deborah said...

Much luck to you in your revisions and final touches. I once read that J.K. Rowling wrote the final chapter of the entire Harry Potter series before she finished any of the books. Not being a writer I am fascinated by the process of others.

We'll be here waiting for you!

Anita, just saw your comment. I cannot believe I missed those two. I just ran a series of Waterhouse on my sidebar (usually change them most days). Those two did look familiar to me in style. Your right is is so errie.

I'm really pleased you like what you saw at mine, I have a lot of fun with it.

Anita,

I AM thinking warm thoughts about your progress and eagerly await your return to the blogging world!!

My bro typed both his Master's thesis and his Doctoral dictation with two fingers on a typewriter. Does that give you any comfort???

Take care and post when you can,,,

Hugs,
Shell

Hello my sweet Anita!

I'm so glad you are getting through the most difficult part of your thesis. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Life here is absolutely crazy. That is why I haven't been blogging much or emailing.

I pray for my brother's safe return. Tell him I love him!

Hugs!

Hello Anita,
Good to hear that you are making progress with your thesis and that you have the feeling the worst part is over. I remember that I was living to that dead line, if I hadn't had one I would probably still be writing! So don't fall in that trap. I still dream of that once in a while. Of course we didn't forget you and I would have been here sooner if I didn't catch a cold. Luckily you cannot catch one from the internet. I want to wish you good luck on finishing your thesis, we often say the last bits are the worst, but I do hope that you have that part already behind you, and your feeling about that is right!

Hi Anita,
Just came by to say thank you for all the nice things you said about my little place in the world (my studio ;) I am having a nice summer, do hope you are as well. Going to be posting off and on until Fall and just enjoying time with the family. Have a beautiful weekend!

Oh Anita, what a pleasure and joy to visit your blog. I found my way, from the hills and dales of Bellingham, Washington to you! I like to write too but I have no degree behind the mission. I was born into a place called "Once Upon a Fairyland", so I'm a bit of a child wonder in a 50 yr old body. I love fairytales and whimsy. Enjoyed my time with you, I will return...

Oh dear girlie....

I'm so glad you're making good progress.......I'll be so happy to have you back!

Thanks for your entry into the little pink giveaway! Wishing you good luck!

Hugs,
