Fun with family over Thanksgiving . . . we went to the Metropolitan Opera and saw "The Barber of Seville" (in Italian). It was my first "real" opera; of course, I had played in the pit for "Die Fleidermaus" in college, but that doesn't really count. :)

I bought my first pair of maternity jeans today from Old Navy. I don't really need maternity clothes yet, I'm not really showing yet, but a couple of my tighter pants are now too small, and I have been getting bloated a lot.

I got a really good message from my advisor. I haven't done ANYTHING this semester for my phd program . . . now that I'm done with classes, I feel really out of the loop. But now I feel like I have some direction, and I feel much better about things. She told me what my next steps are, and I'm determined to follow those steps!
