Until March 3...
I'm not likely to be blogging much at all. I have a BIG deadline looming, and then a smaller deadline looming, and then... oh, yeah... I have two kids.
Speaking of which, Lew is crawling and pulling up and starting to cruise. So life has gotten hectic (but cute as hell). The other day I turned around and he'd gone to the bathroom, pulled up on the edge of the tub, and was splashing in the running water I had going for Mose's bath.
Meanwhile, Mose is gbetting into cooking. He can crack an egg without getting shells into the mix, and he can pick up a full measuring cup and pour it into the bowl without spilling. Pretty awesome. While I've not been cooking much lately, I will say that we often have prefab Betty Crocker muffins around as a result. So come on over. Blueberry or coffeecake flavor? I got it all!
In other news, I'm sad I didn't go to AWP, but it was the right thing to do. I couldn't afford the $$$ and while I was NOT there I had a pretty awesome breakthrough on my book, so I hacked away 90 pages of deadweight and got to work. I think that I did this because deep down I needed something good to come of the choice... so that I wouldn't sit around thinking about all the fun I was NOT having.
Was it fun?

Bagging AWP was the best decision I've made in awhile. New poem got published, new poem got written, other tasks accomplished -- and didn't cost me a dime. Sounds like you had the same kind of weekend. See you on Feb. 16 at Poetry Atlanta Presents...
I can't even crack an egg without the shell pieces yet. Way to go Mose!
AWP was fun, but probably not for applicable reasons: having a nice place to stay that didn't cost me $$, hanging out with Sarah, running around the city. We can do that some other time, too.
