Where I am. LOL We're hunkering down, waiting for it to hit. I guess it's supposed to last two days. Ugh. A new snowfall is beautiful. I love that. It's the dirtiness of the cleanup after. Humans make a mess of pretty snow. <br /><br />I agree with Alex. Read the rejections to gain something positive from them if you can and then move forward. You really are that much closer to an acceptance. S.A.
