L'shana tova...
Another year come and gone.
I look like an apple and I can't have honey (gestational diabetes) but I should say that I am one lucky lucky girl.
As we head into the days of awe, as I think about how I would like to be inscribed in the book of life this year... I'm at a loss. I have so much, with this baby on the way, and the opportunities that I've been given to write and think and edit work of value. With a supportive amazing husband I love, and who loves me. I feel overfull, fortunate beyond belief.
So I am going to take the days of awe seriously this year, and think about the ways in which I can be a better person, live a better life. I'm going to consider my mistakes, the wrongs I may have done this year, and try to learn from them.
There is so much to do...
In other news, Shanna and Jen were here for a visit yesterday and the day before, and what can I say? They are just about the most fun, most entertaining, houseguests and poets I can imagine. Their reading at Java Monkey blew the crowd away. People were crying in laughter. And the Emory reading (with the incomparable Danielle Pafunda) was equally incredible, though not quite so raucous.
A sheer pleasure to have them in town, and if you missed it, you'd best drive to Athens tonight.

Kodac told me it was a brilliant evening at Java Monkey. Sorry I missed it. I'm doing A Soldier's Song at Theatre Gael, so I couldn't make it. Hopefully they'll come around again.
l'shana tova! It's not the same without you.
