I must say that muffs strike me as an extremely inefficient means of keeping your hands warm--they're only useful if you're not doing anything but walking/standing.

I had a roommate who had some vintage one's and they had pockets in them, so they also acted like a small purse.

Congrats, Suzi!

I don't see that a lady would be doing anything other than walking or riding in a carriage, so muffs seem perfectly practical....

Who with the what now, msbelle?

Thanks all. I'm pretty happy. I'm also pushing for a grade change. He said he would look into it.

msbelle, what?

Aw, Bonnie Franklin died. I used to love One Day at a Time. She was only 69.

Congrats, Suzi!

I associate muffs with riding in sleighs or sledges. Or ice skating, but I think that's from a specific illustration in a children's book. You'd already be wearing gloves, right? Because ladies always wore gloves?

why can't you people read my mind?!?!

My post was in response to

Are you now going to Disney World?

The wanting a cake part was due to me giving up sugar for lent, but then forgetting and having a slice of cake and a shake yesterday. Now my body WANTS ALL OF THE DESSERTS.

yay for the raise, Suzi!

Sending the job~ma to Consuela now.

I find merit review tedious. I submitted my merit review files in October, got my merit review ranking in Nov, but I don't ever find out about my raise until I sign the new contract in July. Universities! Their timescale is not our Earth timescale.

Macy's just sent me an email:

"Time to stock up on your lingerie essentials!"

Hmm. I wonder what...

Are you now going to Disney World?

I'm jealous!

Tell me that doesn't mean you have to go through all this damn application and interview bs again in April, Consuela. I'm glad your contract got extended, anyway!
