Greetings from Chapel Hill, NC! I am currently holed up in a hotel room at the Carolina Inn (pictured above) on the campus of UNC. Hubby is off trying to sound articulate and intelligent while I hang out in my pajamas and abuse the free Wi-Fi – it’s a good deal!
As I was searching for images on the web of this super swanky hotel (that the program is paying for) I came across this website: America’s Top 10 Most Haunted Hotels and guess what hotel is number 6? Eeek! Now, I enjoy watching TV programs about the most haunted hotels in America, but I have decided that I do not enjoy discovering that some ghostly man might try to open my door – while I’m in it!! I think it’s time to head down the street to 3-Cups and find a cozy, ghost free spot to get some work accomplished.
We had some more good news on the grad school front. HD has been asked to interview for the second program he applied to at Johns Hopkins. This is a VERY good program and we had pretty much written it off, but they e-mailed last night. So, that could be a very good opportunity for him. So many choices – it’s a good problem to have.
I have now made 3 mitered squares and I’m well into the 4
th. It takes me about an hour and a half to make one. I’ve decided that I really enjoy making them and I’m hoping that enthusiasm doesn’t waiver as I start to get into the teens and twenties in making these things. I’m using a size 3 needle, but I’m loving the gauge and size of the final squares. It’ll be interesting to seam them. I’ve been slipping the first stitch of every row in the hopes that I’ll have a slightly easier time seaming, but any suggestions or hints would be great!
Alright, I’m off to see what Chapel Hill is like. I got to go to dinner with HD and some other candidates and current grad students last night (on the program!) and I think Chapel Hill would be a very nice place to live. It wasn’t a bad drive yesterday either. I drove the whole way without stopping and we got here in about 5 hours. I think Max and I could handle that drive next year.
HD and I are headed to Asheville tomorrow to meet up with his family and then we’ll head home late on Sunday. Busy weekend – hope you have a nice one!
Greetings from

Congratulations to your husband on all the opportunities -- it is a better dilemma to have than too few, although still difficult! Enjoy your trip :)
