Wow! What luck!

I just dropped off my 3 new chapters at Peter's Institute office (he said he was impressed that i got them done and also said that I should get some version of the conclusion to him this week...gonna write the bulk of it today, though).

While I was walking back to the car, I saw an *entire* long bed of multicolored marigolds innocently sitting in front of the Dean of Arts and Sciences Faculty office. A whole bed of them. Shortly to be sacrificed to the cold.

Unloved and doubtless in need of appreciation.

They are exactly perfect for my Day of the Dead altar---OK, not the pure orange Mexican marigolds, but really, quite close enough.

Hmmmmm.

Do I lose merit if I go and dig some up on November 1?

What if I leave some dough in the hole? With a note? Or maybe chocolate?

So what do you think: what should I leave in that hole? Cause you know, I am gonna go and dig some up.

I am a hybrid of: Athletic Girl Academic Girl Click on the pictures below to read more: Take the 'What Kind of Girl Are You?' quiz at CookingToHookup.com

Hey, do you know that this quiz actually included one question to which a possible answer was "your dissertation"? Whoa. It also included question answers that mentioned wandering through ancient ruins, touring the Metropolitan Museum and the Cloisters, 10k runs, packing your weights to travel with you, crosstrainers, the OED and touring Oxford, England. Who wrote this quiz? Can I meet him/her/them?

And the description of "Athletic Girl" includes the line, 'she might be an athletic girl IF....she can talk for more than 10 minutes about resistance training (me!)...'she owns a water bottle signed by Mia Hamm (I WISH this were me---does anybody know where I can get a water bottle signed by Mia Hamm or Gladys Portugues?).

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
