I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Not delurking, because, on here ALL THE TIME, but...
Lessee, I taught until June and in July, I went full-time freelance. It's going well, although money's tight.
Everything else is basically the same, except I am cleaning out the garage, fighting a Hellmouth-esque invasion of fleas, and I celebrated my one year wedding anniversary in April.
I gardened some, and killed only 3/4 of my plants. Success for me!
Since I'm freelancing, I dyed my hair a lot redder, and am very happy to do so. I turned 39 in August, and am perfectly fine with that.
I mastered a mean chocolate stout bundt cake this year.
Oh, I started a Tumblr. It's Wordslinger Tangents (Erin Griggs: Wordslinger is my business.) It's tangenty.
I lost ten pounds, we avoided foreclosure on the house by the skin of our teeth and Kansas City got a Trader Joe's. I am mastering the art of stepmommery, and continue to think the hysterectomy I got 2 years ago is the Best Thing Ever. I still have chronic insomnia, but being a freelance takes a lot of the anxiety I had about it away.
So, my year. That's pretty much it.

Delurking to say hi.
I'm working at an after-school program, and have a small business selling vintage books at Eastern Market and at an antique mall in Laurel. I'm hoping to open a vintage clothing store sometime next year. This year I got serious about finishing short stories and submitting them places, and I have stories coming out in Strange Horizons and Daily Science Fiction.

Hi, I'm here all the time(although a little bit less since I gave up talking about being a novelist for, you know, actual noveling.) Feel free to send me stories about your town's grisly murders, as half my facebook wall is people sending me stories like "Gun Runner Nabbed in Baltimore Flea Market", which isn't half as weird as them making me all verklempt and Sally-Field-at-The Oscars about somebody giving me what I like.

Also woot erika for writing. I need to kick myself into doing that one of these days.

I can attest that erika is indeed writing, and lo, it is fun and good. And some dry-ass lines that made me snicker good.
I gotta (in my copious free time) start working on some fiction. Maybe a short.
Shit, I'm nattering. Sorry.
