Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Our old house has been listed and is finally ready to show--a little house-selling ~ma in this really lousy market would be appreciated.

So, a Rather Large Publishing House has made an offer on the GCS book proposal.
I'll post more details when everything is signed and whatnot, but zomg! An offer! Eeeeeee!

A little health~ma for my grandfather who has been in SICU since last Wednesday after his gall bladder-ectomy. In the past few days he's gone from doing "very well for a 91 year-old man" to not doing so well - his pneumonia isn't clearing up and they may have to put him back on the ventilator.

not your mom's socks.
I'm releasing much of the ~ma for my collaborator's girlfriend back out (and pushing it in Jessica's direction). She's still in the hospital, but off oxygen and walking around. She had surgery - they still don't know the full outcome of that. A little worrisome, but it is good to see her out of bed. And mad at me for the get well lolcat I sent to her.

My request for ~ma seems petty considering everything else going on, but what the heck. A little please-don't-call-me-in-for-jury-duty-until-at-least-Wednesday ~ma would be appreciated. Monday and Tuesday are the days that the potential new head of school will be visiting, and I really need to be here. I have to start checking in starting Sunday night, so I'm really nervous that I'm going to miss one of those two days. I know it might not sound like a big deal, but it really is to me. Thanks.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Matt and I would like y'all to send a bit of health ma~~~ our friend W's way. He had a heart attack on Saturday , but due to his nonstubbornness about the doctor, an aspirin and a n ambulance that arrived in 5 minutes - he looks like he has some damage, but all we be well. His wife J is going to need some extra patience. W and J have been married for 45 years - working together as well as being married. The are very good friends and people that mean a lot to us.

I'm happy to announce that my move back to Arkansas is DONE! I finished cleaning the old place last night and moved the last vanload of my stuff into the new loft this morning (well, sans my super-comfy sleep inducing couch, which won't fit through the entrance of the apartment.) Pictures will follow as soon as I can get a new sofa and unpack some boxes.

This is not The Official Announcement, because that is waiting on signed contracts and whatnot. But my editor* said I could go ahead and tell my family and friends, sooooooo ...
I have a book deal! HarperCollins is going to publish a Gothic Charm School book in 2009!
Like I said, this is not The Official Announcement, so don't tell complete strangers, alert the press, or anything, okay? But yes, zomg, book deal!
