Happy Big Day to yours truly!
The time has arrived: I’m defending my dissertation this afternoon after my anticipated blessing from Bishop Mike.
While it’s still surreal until I actually achieve this vision, I’ve planned everything in advance down to the details of my appearance …
After all: fail to plan, plan to fail ~ to no avail!
- I prepared what to wear several months ago: dress, check√ * jewelry, more jewelry and accessories, check√ * shoes, check√ (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue)
- I started practicing my presentation a couple of months ago … as well as my makeup and hair style (beauty rehearsal)
- I wrote my pre-defense prayer and post-defense acknowledgements over a month ago (vows)
- I got fresh spa treatment with nails done and brows shaped the weekend before (pampering)
- I started more extensive over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments the week prior (necessity)
That way, my smile will glow, and the coffee stains won’t show! =D
