Mission Accomplished? No.
Today I was supposed to put together the paper I am presenting at a conference in Chicago next weekend, but I can't find one of the articles I need (I was sure I had it somewhere around here!), and Georgetown suddenly has all of its copies of the Children's Literature Association Quarterly suddenly unavailable, so my only options are a trip to the University of Maryland or interlibrary loan. Since I can't guarantee that ILL will send me the article fast enough, I get to trek to UMD tomorrow night. Ah, well. It just means putting together the paper over the next few weeknights. Much of it is based on my dissertation's final chapter, and it should only be about 5 single-spaced pages long, so it shouldn't be too daunting. I hope. The challenge usually is keeping it short enough.

I did do a few search-related things and updated my contributor's note for the Edwardian childhood book collection. That's something, right?

My hairstylist also redeemed herself yesterday, which was a relief.
