For the last 48 hours or so...
For the last 48 hours or so, I keep thinking, oh, I have to remember to blog about that."However, for the last 48 hours or so I've also been packing, flying, driving, working Canadian Nationals, napping, photo editing, and blog editing. All of this is not conducive to sitting down and actually putting my thoughts to paper. Or laptop, as the case may be.
This year's U.S. Championships is extremely different for me compared to the last four. Tons of changes have been made since Spokane.
With the event coverage moving from U.S. Figure Skating's web microsite to IceNetwork.com, I was no longer working for Laura Fawcett et al. bringing behind-the-scenes photos and blogs. This year I'm working with Daphne for ice-dance.com coverage. Theoretically, it's less work because now it is only 1/4 of the competition.
Theoretically.
I'm also working with Melanie Hoyt on the Canadian Nationals coverage. She's the only ice-dance.com person credentialed for the event. She's on Pacific time. Right now I'm in Central time, and my real home is in Eastern. I feel a little scrambled. But she's doing an awesome job, and her blogs make me laugh. Plus she text messages with tidbits. I don't always hear the message right away, but eventually I get caught up.
Daphne and I are staying at our friend Karen's apartment in Minneapolis. Karen rocks, and I'm not just saying that so she doesn't make me sleep outside. She made goodie bags for us, filled with things crucial to surviving in Minnesota this week. I now have gloves and thick socks and lip balm and the amazingly crucial hand cream, among other things. Yay!
Yesterday my flight got in around 11 a.m. Karen dropped me off at her apartment and went back to work. I got a ton of stuff done on catching up the Canadians coverage, but am still a little behind. It'll get put up as soon as I can. I promise.
And with that, I'm signing off for tonight. My annual photo of Huckleberry is at the top of this blog. He looked especially sad when I left. No, no guilt at all.
