I can't wait to get home to see her, these last two months of her doing review have been brutal on her.

When she called me after the exam was over and she got her results she was crying so hard I thought she had failed at first, but it was due to sheer relief at passing.


I don't know who was happier she had passed, her or me. I was on pins an needles all day waiting for that phone call.

All along as I was telling her she knew her stuff and not to sweat it, she would nail that test no problem, I had butterflies the size of B-52's flying around my stomach.

Not anymore, woot!

My sister's son is an assistant professor at Syracuse of classic Spanish literature and is also a researcher of early Spanish playwrights. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on the works of the 17th century Spanish playwright and poet Félix Arturo Lope de Vega y Carpio.

Lope de Vega was a prolific playwright who is considered to be the Spanish Shakespeare. It is thought that he wrote over 1300 plays of which only 300 have survived.

Last year while doing further research in Barcelona at the Spanish National Library on the author and other playwrights and poets, my nephew discovered a comedic play previously thought to be lost, "Women and Servants", written by Lope de Vega circa 1613-1614.





Today, for the first time in over three centuries the play "Women and Servants" was performed before a live audience.

Go ahead, ask me!

I am busting with pride, I am just so happy for her!

She worked and studied \so hard to earn her degree in nursing, I just can't help but brag on her just a bit...to everyone I can!


bit

No way should it have taken Christie twenty-four hours to fire her, she should have been gone by 5:00 yesterday afternoon.


I wonder if her deal includes all her looming legal bills being covered, if she takes the fall and does time her personal finances get taken care of while incarcerated, and what type of no-show job she'll get with a political backer when she gets out.
