Thanks everybody! I've been gone at work all day & this is nice to come home to! my husband & my youngest son both came to the defense, it was a little intimidating , but not as bad as I thought. I don't know what I expected, I guess they would TEST me or something, LOL! ANyway, one of my committee members is a very dear friend whom I haven't seen in ten years. She came all the way to Ohio from Mississippi for this - it was great to see her. So now....i guess it's time to find a real job!
