When I submitted my final manuscript last week, the kids and I decided to celebrate. This is what I made for dinner. For those of you who are both from the southern part of the US and have also resided overseas, you will join with me in saying that there was a halo surrounding that Dr. Pepper. I savored every sip. I told the kids to respect my drinking with a few minutes of silence. It was a holy moment.
We still have a six pack of Dr. Pepper. I'm afraid to even look at it for fear of what Matt might do if one is missing. ;) Okay, not really, but I am afraid to touch them!
ReplyDeleteMichelle-
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you even have one six pack left shows an enormous amount of self-restraint on your part. Jia You!
Yes, indeed. There is a halo and a choir of angels singing every time you pop the top. Its a fact.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh! So, that must be when I was hearing the Hallelujah Chorus being sung! I couldn't quite place where it was coming from...now I know. YOUR HOUSE!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you!
I would definitely be initiating The Quite Game while I drank.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your book. hugs.
