Jo

Jo in her cute new sweater from Sweetie

Anyone who’s read this blog for a while knows about Felicia, my “PhD bear”. I got Felicia at Build a Bear the night of my PhD proposal defense. She’s working on her PhD in astronomy, just like me, and has accompanied me to grad-student type places over the past three years (such as AAS meetings and talks I’ve given).

So, when we went to Build a Bear last weekend for my birthday party, I knew I needed to pick another friend that somehow meshed with my personality. Jo was born. She’s more of an arty type than Felicia. In fact, Jo is currently writing a novel, though she won’t tell any of us what its about. I’m still getting to know her, but the part of her personality that has been emerging is quite different from Felicia. She’s much girlier, picking an outfit with fairies on it. Her chosen Halloween costume is a Tinkerbell outfit; her reason was that she really liked the wings and the cute little ballerina-type slippers.

Oh, and notice the sweater she’s wearing in the picture – Sweetie knitted that for her along with a matching scarf.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce Jo, since she might be showing up here from time to time, just like Felicia.

Hi Jo!
Lucy says hi, and is all jealous that you got the sweater! Are you coming to MN for Christmas so you two can play??
