So this weekend I had a fabulous birthday party with absolutely no sobriety involved, yesterday I planted strawberries, and today I am waiting for the Plain Dealer photographer to come and take my picture for the paper. Also, I apparently wrote a Notable Story of 2006 (Urchins, While Swimming).
My life, she does not suck.
Tomorrow I fly to California, where it is sunny and bright, and there I retrieve many old books and selves.
It is a quietly awesome day.
You’re just rackin’ up them writering awards aren’t ya? That party was aweall. Not just awesome.
I’m not surprised at the story making it onto that list. It’s one of the best short stories I’ve read.
Glad you had a festive birthday, sad that I missed a lot of it due to being in the kitchen or being insensate.
One more Barbaric Yawp de Yawp.
Glad things are going very well.
🙂
I really love that story. I’m glad it got a Notable mention! Here’s to seeing it in a Year’s Best, because it really deserves it. *glassclink*
Safe travels! (Altho, by now, you have probably already reached CA.) I’m sorry my prezzie missed you, but hopefully it will be a nice treat when you return!
I’m leaving tonight, so if it gets here today…
