from the Frogmore editor arrived yesterday morning. Wheeee!! 
Another great reason to drain dry some more wine bottles for the next couple of weeks or so. Hee.
As if to add extra celebration to the aging process, my mom actually called yesterday to greet me. Apart from mispronouncing my name since birth, she is now spreading the rumor that my birthday is on the 9th, not the 7th. Ahem.
Okay, so I may have missed that flight to Zurich and twice I locked myself out of the house keyless and mobile-phoneless... but these are normal things that occur naturally to normal people. Compared to the rest of the clan, I'm a serious, levelheaded and totally dependable person.
Recent acceptance:
Will have two poems: Lemony Squeezation and The Twentieth Secret Love Poem in Velvet Avalanche, a print anthology of sensual poetry edited by Donna Hill and Jeremy Hoemsen. It is slated to go to print by the end of September. Such a thrill. Yay!

Between the 30:30 challenge, the Pedestal subs reading, the social drinking and re-installing my Sims... I have a hard time staying awake in bed at night with the laptop acting as a hot water bottle on my paunch.
Found this picture of my darling pooch lying around. She breathes new life into the expression "dog-tired". Since I haven't had time to shave my eyebrows, we've begun to look scarily alike.

Congrats on the check(!!!) and yet another acceptance.
Get some rest, and I never bother with my eyebrows. Perhaps I should...
210 pounds? what on earth are they paying you for?
jeez. i need to come over and see you and get seriously (or, taking into account that it is US i am talking about, gigglishy, stupidly, nonsensically) drunk with you.
congrats on the poetry news.
staying awake in bed at night, however, seems to be something i do better than you. and i am not even trying.

thanks, cheryl. i'm actually taking a 10-day vacation after the 30:30 is over. yay!
mumpsy, it's the contest loot, darling! i mean, nothing —erm— illegal. naughty you.
hmmm. you might not like me when i'm drunk. i can laugh myself silly over your eyebrows. and the double piercing on your two noses.
can't sleep? get a laptop. it warms the paunch better than a man. never snores, too. teehee.

Great news about your poetry and and payment from the press. Quite a day. Best to you Arlene.
Wow Arlene, just catching up...who says there is no money in poetry? :o) Fantastic news on all fronts.
