MY WEEK IN SEVEN WORDS

POISON IVY
Rumor has it that I was conceived while both my parents had poison ivy... so I blame them for the awful reaction I have the stuff. (Not sweet Mario, with whom I was walking in the woods.)

PREDNISONE=PRODUCTIVITY

Okay, that stuff totally hypes me up! Managed to clock in around 25 writing hours this past week and am THISCLOSE to dashing TELL ME poetry manuscript off to agent.

GUESTS ARE GREAT

Had young friends Alexandra and Peter come to play and historic friend Pam (who I first met in childbirth classes lo many years ago) come through town on her way to her 25th high school reunion. Took her to Ms. Rosemarie's Special Teas and Vulcan and WalMart. Yes, we are THAT cool.
