...my contract arrived today! Definitely a historic moment. :-)
I was incredibly surprised and delighted. My mother had sent me on a reconnaissance mission right before I found it on my email, so I read through my first contract while I was waiting to get a mani-pedi at a nail spa that opened up a quarter mile away. This made me laugh, because it makes me sound a lot more girly than I really am.
But Contract is ready for signature (! I think), and the mission was successful: my sister and her friends have nail appointments for her debutante party on Friday.
Now, I really must get to bed. I've got sous-chef duty for tomorrow's Thanksgiving feast. Mom is getting up before dawn to put the turkey in the oven.
