Thanks to the help of Christi and Sydney, I’ve gone out for short walks the last three days while leaving Katherine at home. It’s suddenly gotten a lot like winter is supposed to get (bitter, windy, cold), and I’m not quite ready to try walking and pushing a stroller in snow. But I’m sure stir-craziness will get me there.
Sydney, Katherine, and I are driving down to Philadelphia tomorrow to meet up with Heidi and do some shopping. To clarify, Sydney will certainly NOT be shopping, and Heidi and I have a mission: to get the requisite interview suit, just in case I end up with an interview later this month. Although we’d rather see where each other lives, it’s a pretty healthy drive all the way to Ithaca or DC. So instead we’ll meet in the middle, I’ll have help from someone who’s actually worn a suit (I have, but not since eighth grade!), and we’ll get away from the job application stuff for awhile.

Erin, after all those years of college when you had the “grownup clothes” and I didn’t (and borrowed them for occasions that required it), I find it amusing that I have a suit (actually, 2) and you don’t. How did this happen? 🙂
Anyway, good luck w/your shopping, and the subsequent interviews! 🙂

Good point 🙂 Well done on the having of suits! I tend to like dress clothes over business clothes, and I’m generally too warm to like jackets. I was teaching in short sleeves until last week!

I blame my conferences. They’re kind of funny – people dress way up when they present, and then switch to “business casual” the other days. 🙂
