Waaaahhhh!!
One of the agents for our conference just called the hospitality chair to say she can't make the conference because of a "sudden wedding" in her family!
Why couldn't her nephew have a year-long engagement complete with angsty bridezilla drama? It's the American way, dammit!
t headdesk headdesk headdesk
We've written back to ask if someone else from her agency can fill in, so fingers crossed. Also, I'm lucky that she's not the one who's in hugely high demand. But I was so determined that we were going to have a good panel this year, 3 editors and 3 agents, and I was going to do such a good job. And unless we get a fill-in, we're down to just 2 of each. Dammit.
Argh! I've been sick for three freaking weeks. If someone fixes it for me, I will sacrifice a rubber chicken to whichever deity you prefer. Please.
That's not dedication. Goat. Goat says dedication.
I hope you feel better soon too.

I think we can clearly show that the American way, not always the best. Bummer about losing her to the sudden wedding though.
I'm glad to know that at least I'm not the only one who can't find shirts that fit both the bosom and the waist. I thought I was malformed or something. Thank goodness for stretch fabric.

Mayhap the bride is in the family way.
I made cupcakes today. They are soooo goooooood. I've already spoiled my dinner.
Did we have a conversation about the origins of the word honeymoon around here recently? Can anyone Nilly me?
I spoiled my dinner with Tab and Fritos. Cupcakes are smarter.
Every time I glance at this thread time, I see "Damn right I'm MPREG!"
My brain, it is an ugly ugly place.
Oh. That's not just me.
I had to cancel my hair appointment for tonight. My neck is still too sore. I don't think I could handle having my head back in the sink, and I'm too tired of it hurting to try. I *SO* need a haircut, I can't stand it, never mind the color.
Ugh. Email from my dad - a close friend of my mom's just died. I need this day to end so I can get the hell out of here and drink. And figure out if I can fit a trip up to Ottawa into all the craxy ass travel I might have to do in the next few weeks.

Now, that
would
be old school of them, to rush a wedding because of a pregnancy!
I guess this is what I get for being so determined to make the editor/agent panel so much better than last year's (which also only featured four people), because I'm just so well-organized and so good at this kind of thing!
And
naturally
the editor who canceled back in July and this agent were the ones I was most hoping to make contact with for the sake of pushing my own work. Le sigh.
