• I know, forever since I've posted

  Wow, over a month since I last posted.  Though I realized that I've been either working or resting lately, neither of which are condusive to coherent blogging.  Lots has happened since I last posted - I did not get into the MFA program I was hoping for, so that seriously bummed me out for awhile, but I'm still writing and submitting stuff around to literary journals.  All of the stuff I've sent out for has a 3 month turn around, so I've haven't heard anything else back yet. 

  So I'll be going with Plan B -  enrolling in the Master's inLit program this Fall, which I know I'll be accepted for.  I cut my hair very short and extended the pink.  My four year old has finally transitioned out of toddler bed and into a regular size twin bed - he's getting so damn grown up lately.  Dragos is taking 2 grad school classes, working over-time, working as a grader, and doing research as part of his research assistant position.  Yeah, I don't see very much of him!  But it's good, and we try to carve out a little time here and there together.

  Meanwhile, I'm working almost 30 hours a week, which is psycho for my body to attempt, but I've been very pleased that I've been able to holdup and stay pretty strong, though I spend most of my off time resting and sleeping. But still, I never thought my body would be able to handle working so many hours, so I'm glad for that, even if I know it wouldn't be wise to keep it up in the long term.  I'm trying to work more now so that we can save up and when I start school in the fall I can stop work completely so I'll have enough energy to focus on school.  I've had about a month to chew on it, and Plan B still seems exciting.

  I'll try not to be so much of a stranger around here!!
