Denver, Here I Come!

Well, readers, I'm jetting off to Denver, CO for a very busy 5-day trip. I will be attending the AWP conference, which, for those of you non-writers, is one of the biggest literary conversations in the nation, and includes over 8,000 guests each year. I'm excited to browse the bookfair (and pick up some new issues of literary magazines), attend panels (and hopefully receive some good writing advice) and mingle with some writer friends who I haven't seen a couple of years (and hopefully make some new ones). Not to mention, I'm planning on doing a little exploring of Denver, since I've never been before.

I'll try to post a little while I'm there, but it's going to depend on my internet connection and the amount of free time I'll have.

Mountain Time, here I come!

California-loving

Just wanted to check in and let you all know that I'm doing fabulously in sunny California--5 days in Huntington Beach, complete with trips to Balboa Island and L.A. and many servings of Yogurtland--and I'm now up north in Sacramento!

Tomorrow my friend and I will be setting off to explore San Francisco! Pictures and more to come, but for now, I'll leave you with this very old picture of my first trip to California, five years ago now (!).

Off to Sunshine!

Hello Darlings! I'm jetting off to warm, not-snowing California tomorrow, to spend 5 days in Huntington Beach with my boyfriend's sister, and then 5 days in Sacramento with my closest friend from High School. I can't wait to wear dresses, put my toes in the sand, and read some trashy beach novels. But don't worry, I plan to continue my blogging spree while I'm on my vacation... don't you feel lucky?

Goodbye, Chicago and boots and 4-quilts-on-my-bed!
