**Nervous laughter** **Twitching** **Increasingly frantic primping**

Hi there. It's me. Sarah. Freaking out about my dissertation defense. Which happens at 1:30. Today. Gulp.

Poor Ben. I have been a freak show and a half all weekend long. To explain my erratic behavior to Harry, I told him I had a big meeting at work, and it was a little scary. He asked if there would be ghosts, witches, strangers, or bad guys. When I told him that none of those things would be in attendance, he told me I should not worry.

But here I sit. Worried.

It's finally ice cream season here, and Jack is a big fan. Of whatever I am eating-- the cute little kiddie cone we ordered for him? Not so much.

Jack also experimented with a little pudding

He looooooves bagels, too.


Hmm-- that's it for newish phone pictures. Katie just called and distracted me by talking about normal, non-dissertationy things, so that was awesome. I keep posting really pathetic, attention whoring status updates on Facebook and am enjoying all the nice comments I was fishing for. I think I'll clomp down to the bathroom and futz with my hair for awhile.

This is thrilling stuff-- my navel looks great from this angle, by the way.
