For real, done this time

Leina is offically done with the thesis! She'd had misconceptions regarding how many different committees and important people at SFSU would need to review her thesis, make revisions, return it to her, and eventually sign. It was officially signed today and will be bound. Shortly, a copy can be found in the school library! Leina is still deciding whether to purchase a copy for herself, a steal at $25.

Leina briefly saw her blogographer on Mothers' Day. She had orally committed to visiting the Turners, but when their daughter and son-in-law decided to stop by Leina's place, she sheepishly called them back and admitted, no, her primary reason for visiting was not to wish Mrs. Turner a happy Mother's Day.

Leina had spent much of the morning creating a huge tray of cupcakes, and topped many of them with little hand-decorated flags that spelled out Happy Mothers Day! There was speculation about whether this was Leina's idea or the idea of someone else who was there that morning.

She drove to Marin with Angie that afternoon and Angie and Auntie Evelyn finally got a chance to talk. They talked for about 2 hours! There were hamburgers, rice balls, and corn on the cob. Auntie Evelyn made Angie taste a drink that tasted like melted strawberry sherbert. There were about 10 people there, but Noriko was the only mother. It didn't matter, though, for a good time was had by all. Uncle Norihiko was also there, because he lives there.
