Confession Tuesday (deb) late in the day

I've been procrastinating a lot and accomplishing a little by:


~Twittering a bit...

~Setting up a new Stoney Moss on Word Press (still fiddling, and once WD is here in Portland for a visit, we can get together and refine it together...rather than me imposing my own thoughts on the poor bloggin' lass!)

~Facebooking a bit (mostly signing up for poetry groups and books)...including for RWP...

~Doing some RWP management (editing and organizing)...

~Reading two of the three essays my CNF writing group is working on for Thursday.

~Reading essays in preparation for my presentation in August for my writer's reading group.

~Taking the trash out and being a single-pet mom while Mark is in Virginia.

~Arranging to have a pal come visit me this weekend while Mark is gone.

~Spending way too much, even on sale, for a lovely designer outfit at a truck show a neighbor had. But it is a gorgeous outfit (although now I need shoes. I never buy outfits these days that "need shoes"). Giselle Shepatin is the designer. Funky hippy, textured artist.

~Planning on going to see WS Merwin, Calvin Trillin, and Terry Tempest Williams when they are in Portland for special Arts & Lectures series! (Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10AM!) Woot! Love them, all. Question: Should I go see Annie Leibovitz? I am irritated with her over the Miley Cyrus fiasco. I blame her. Should I?

~Planning on going to Tin House to hear Andrea Barrett, Nick Flynn, Charles D'Ambrosio and Frank Bidart. (Next week.)

~I got a record one-day turn around rejection from qarrtsiluni. They were so nice about it.

~I need to figure out which poem I should workshop next with my live group. I need to spend some time at Fertile Ground reading others (I missed the submission deadline, again, to submit one of my own to critique) and I need to think about my own next work for the CNF class. I am thinking about brushes with death while walking. Or not.


I mixed my tenses in this little post...so sorry. I guess I have been pretty busy and shouldn't feel too bad for sleeping a lot this last weekend (during the day; the damn fireworks kept me awake during the night)!
