I finished editing a story that's now ready to resubmit, and wrote the first bit of a new story. Now feeling virtuous, and tired.<br /><br />Speaking of virtuous, I donated my old car to public radio. If you are ever in a position to do such a thing, it is very easy and entirely painless. I think it took 20 minutes of my time, tops, and less than a week from start to car going away. I filled out a form online and mailed in my title, and someone came and got it. They'll tell me how much it sold for, and I'll get a tax donation. They will even take cars that won't run (didn't know that), which definitely beats having to pay someone to tow it away.Phialahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604909119508288912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341973562786153133.post-35673260157229598692010-04-03T19:37:22.802-05:002010-04-03T19:37:22.802-05:00I'll be there!

That's a fun place to be. :)<br /><br />(And hey, I'll wallflower with you next time we're in any sort of proximity to dancing persons. I also prefer to observe. And nosh on the cheese cubes which are often available at such occasions. Love cheese.)<br /><br />I happen to have a photo of <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/cW_uxU4Ut1BH8ZmX_as_vQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCJTh0t6zh7bOVA&feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">you employing your ear-scratching powers upon a Dog of Some Note</a>, only Quiche's arm got in the way, so I never posted it. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251196964275450121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341973562786153133.post-55359036417800824512010-04-03T13:21:13.135-05:002010-04-03T13:21:13.135-05:00It's been a long time since I've done more...It's been a long time since I've done more than tick and run. Not that you've missed much. Mostly me being tired and cranky.<br /><br />Except for last weekend. My impromtu visit with Andrea was lovely. As my few and mostly blurry pictures showed, the prom was a lot of fun. No, I didn't dance. I'm a wallflower, born and bred. But I enjoyed watching. The best part was seeing Andrea not be recognized by most of her colleagues. Many jaws dropped.<br /><br />Plus I got to meet her Kid, who is quite nice and very very smart, if rather energetic for someone unused to being around kids ;-) I also learned more than I ever knew I needed to know about Spongebob Squarepants. While the cat ran away whenever I appeared, the dog was very friendly. Maggie and I hit it off rather well, in fact. Fortunately for her, I've been well trained to scratch ears on demand. Andrea and I did scare her a bit after we dressed up. Very much a case of "who are you and what did you do with my mommy?"<br /><br />The next day Andrea and I had lunch with my nearest&dearest friend, Isak, who lives in Champaign. Isak would be a great Fiend, so I thought these two awesome women should meet.<br /><br />My only other excitement is my new personal essay seminar. Getting to take a free seminar per season is one of the employee perks at the Newberry. The first class was last Thursday. The instructor usually teaches memoir writing, so I was a bit afraid that this class would lean too much that way. But it looks like it's going to be a great experience. I jotted down several ideas for a particular essay during class, so I volunteered to be one of the students to bring in a draft next Thursday.<br /><br />I've been writing and thinking this morning and have a bit more than 300 words down. It's interesting to see this essay going in a slightly different direction than I thought it would. I wonder where it will go next.<br /><br />I hope peeing cats, bumpy heads, and all other woes are short-lived. And wishing everyone a beautiful spring/fall day.One Sock Shorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270744363847902408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341973562786153133.post-89836417248339845142010-04-03T10:54:09.163-05:002010-04-03T10:54:09.163-05:00Oh jeez, what a start to the day!
