Well, things are moving along. I handed in a draft of my research proposal to my prof a couple of weeks ago. It was only 34 pages and he was looking for 40-50, so I was a bit apprehensive about there not being enough content.
We met yesterday and he had scribbled on the hard copy I'd given him, making several useful comments. Most of the changes I am to make are editorial and some consistency errors, but no substantive edits. He said, "Fix this up and then I'm comfortable sending it on to the committee."
That's a step in the right direction! After your supervisor says it is OK, then it goes to the committee. They can then either request a meeting and ask you to verbally defend your proposal, or they just sign off on it, approving it as is. The rule is, if even one person requests a meeting, then the entire committee (and the student, of course) will meet.
My prof is going away next week and asked if I could give him my revisions before he left. I agreed. So... by this time next week, my committee should have my proposal in hand.
Wish me luck...

Oh, Sarah, I'm wishing you luck and hoping, hoping, hoping for you!
I really believe that you've got it together and it's going to fly! I just know it.
I don't think you'll be needing any luck and the fact that your advisor was comfortable with the substance of the draft is a good sign. I know it will feel good to be through that first hoop. Hope you get the green light without the committee meeting. But I have no doubt you are articulate enough to defend the project.
Couldn't say it better than craig, so good luck, good work and forward march!
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Thinking of you, good luck.
I wish you a million lucky rabbits feet... uh wait that sounds a little morbid. Poor bunnies.. Ok well Good Luck!!! I know it will be great.
Incoming luck bomb!
