(Note re. the Clintons and cookies and THAT quote of Hillary's wrt careers vs. cookies - they cut the quote in half. She went on to say that she had concentrated on a career, in part so other women who might want to stay at home and bake could do that. She never implied that staying at home was the lesser choice, except in how the press framed it. So THERE.)

Congratulations Miss M! That's fabulous. :)

[elisi]

Thank you! ♥

And hi! How are you doing?

Good, thank you! Definitely glad for sunshine, joyful Olympics moments and cookies as a way of doing politics. :)

I hope all is good with you. xxx

Good to know! Life seems to sort of fly by, but it's good to know you're OK.

We're all fine - have just come back from holiday last Friday, so are just about back on track. :)

Well done Miss M - though I'm not surprised, as she has shown huge talent for many years. If she would like any help with her UCAS form, I'd be happy to do so - ask lilachigh, half of whose family I seem to have assisted!

[elisi]

Thank you - and thank you for the offer!

So far she's avoiding writing her personal statement... ;)

This is just Epic on all levels! Doubly so because of Miss M's Bonus Win! Congrats! And major Kudos to her!

Mrs. Clinton is a woman after my own heart on this. I work (and would very much LIKE a career). As much as I love spending time with my family, certain things I just do not have time for. And I've never wanted to be an 'at home mom' (and I have personally never seen anything wrong with that).

*HUGS*

Thank you! <3

And yes, we all have different talents - I find cooking/baking immensely dull, and am grateful I don't have to go through the sort of public scrutiny that Hillary does.
