Party...

Hardy...



It's finally here... my party... I have friends coming from all over, converging on Iowa to eat chicken-apple sausages, drink heavily, dance in bare feet and used prom dresses, bliss out to the perfection that is NO RIVER CITY, and generally celebrate my marriage (or anything else they've a mind to celebrate).

Yep, I have uncles and ex-roomates and childhood friends coming to town. Grandmas and brothers and poetry-classmates from college.

I apologize to my ex-boyfriends that they weren't invited (especially you, James). I love you dearly, but this was a weird one to navigate, so...

I'll be wearing a midnight blue bridesmaid gown with sequins, and silver toenails. I'll be dancing and laughing and not stressing out, I hope.

I've also been sending out the beginnings of Daphne and Jim: the truth and other stories...... and writing some new poems too.

I've also been showing the house. We have our first folks coming back for a second walk-through. Fingers crossed!
