I woke up today to find out that UA is closed. Sweet! Only problem is I had 8 hours of conferences scheduled and I am not about to reschedule them. I guess I'll make them optional.

Speaking of BOR, my definition of "soon" and others' definition may be slightly different, but my goal is to get in touch with my interview volunteers today.

I'm imagining life in Chicago. I'm sure I'll get mugged in the first week. Country Bumpkin, what can I say? Still waiting for 3 more, though.

There was no PhD news in the mailbox yesterday, but I did get my first issue of Prairie Schooner and Paul Guest's Notes for My Body Double. I totally forgot I ordered them, so it was a nice surprise. Also in the mail yesterday: a reimbursement check from the insurance company for when I had my car towed. So, getting the mail may not have been exciting, but it was good.

I took your dare. Stop by my blog and see my rather fuzzy and grainy picture!
Have a nice day off. JCC will not cancel classes unless there is a war in Western New York.
I'll, like, totally do Chicago boot camp with you beforehand, if necessary. I'll make you a t-shirt that says: Mary Biddinger Will Kick Your Ass If You Mess With Me, too. ;)
I think you need to give yourself more credit. You're a streetwise and savvy gal, after all.
Thanks for playing along, Karen. And good luck hoofing it through the snow.
Mary, I need that tee-shirt, even if I don't go to Chicago! We should add it to the Barn Owl merchandise. And I'm only half-serious about the mugging. I just won't go out after dark. ;-)
