Hello, Tuesday, Lookin' Good

Once again, I have been a poor correspondent and have much to catch you all up on. Probably the most exciting news (for me), is that I have completed the revisions for Tate's Precinct 13 (which will be out in August of 2012).



It took me a surprisingly long time to get through these revisions, but I'm happy with the results. Yesterday, as part of the celebration of finishing, Mason and I went sledding with a friend of mine from KSW and her brother (who is about Mason's age). Even though there's only a dusting of snow in places, we discovered a section of the hill at the St. Paul Country Club's golf course was still plenty slippery. We had a blast going up and down at speed for an hour. They had one of those innertube sleds, so we all had to take turns on that, while trying to avoid the "pit of doom" as we dubbed the sand trap that was just at the far end of the hill.

Good times.

Plus, then we invited everyone back to our place. The boys watched "Bleach" and the ladies all gathered in the kitchen to make a batch of fleischkuechle (a German from Russia meat-filled pastry that's DEEP FRIED.) So good! It was so much fun, in fact, that Kate returned to hang out, chat, and nom fleischkuechle while I continued to fry and fry and fry.



Speaking of kuk sool wan, on Friday I also participated in a jumping class wherein I MOSTLY didn't embarrass myself. It turns out, however, I FAIL standing on one foot.

Also, I got an invitation to participate in programming at Chicago's WorldCON this year, and it seemed too much like an offer I couldn't refuse. So I filled out their participant form AND registered myself as attending. So, guess who's goin' to WorldCon this year?? That's right: Yours Truly!

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to doing all those things I neglected while working on revisions! Interwebs, here I come!!
