Actually, we baked a carrot cake with some low-carb ingredients last week -- that has been a treat to keep me going (the carrot cake at the end of the stick?).<br /><br />Yes, my advisor said no to the 20 pp. afterword. But she suggested some other tactics for getting to the finish line, and one is paying off. (Whew.)<br /><br />I'm laughing because my word verification is "untan." Ya think, after all this time holed up with my thesis? ;)This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-60386750466681858862011-03-12T13:50:18.302-06:002011-03-12T13:50:18.302-06:00I hope the tech issues are resolved and that you&#...I hope the tech issues are resolved and that you've stumbled onto something that will move the writing forward. So the advisor wasn't cool with the afterword idea? Hang in there! Do you need some port and dark chocolate? Or some good sorbet?Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-28561232806598328032011-03-07T19:51:34.391-06:002011-03-07T19:51:34.391-06:00Nope.

I mix a martini about an hour before I watch and episode of Mad Men. If I have finished the entire martini an hour AFTER (count 'em... that makes 3 hours), then I'm in about the same state as I was when those sneaky sisters at Momalom had us all half-hammered and participating in a writing challenge for a week! <br /><br />But I do love the cool glasses that martinis come in. And vodka soaked olives?

Yes, BLW, it was definitely a bite-me moment. <br /><br />Fortunately, the files were backed up -- but the machine itself needed to be reconfigured. Perhaps the universe is telling me to take a break. (I did.) And now I'm back at it, hoping such a crash doesn't happen again!<br /><br />P.S. Three martinis? I think you could still drink me under the table -- more than one would do it for me ;)This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-89873852004781697952011-03-07T18:43:03.097-06:002011-03-07T18:43:03.097-06:00Laptop meltdown?

Or 2 months sleep, and when you wake, the files are magically restored and it was all a bad dream...BigLittleWolfhttp://dailyplateofcrazy.com/2011/03/04/bite-me/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-34467974534135568332011-03-07T16:24:28.783-06:002011-03-07T16:24:28.783-06:00Thank you, Kitch!!!
