Good: Birmingham and I went on a fun date last night! Bad: I couldn’t get him to leave my house until 10:00, which is one hour past bedtime. Good: I suppose I can sleep in, I guess. Bad: I have to sleep in because I still have to get my stuff ready for tomorrow and [...]

Recap
Last week, when I was in DC, I was there for a bookseller’s conference called Winter Institute. It was the 6th annual one, so we call it Wi6, and because my brain is weird, I spent the whole week singing, “now I’m feeling so fly like a Wi6.” The whole thing was really well done, [...]

Well, to be honest I’ve never been so scared. But at least I have a husband.
I just got off the phone with a friend who I hadn’t talked to in a while, and he asked me how things were going, specifically with my love life. I told him, “You know, I’m getting to a place where I can see where I’m going and I’m feeling really happy about where I [...]
