1.5/6 goals completed from last week, this includes making a youtube video and managing to not TV channel flip most of the week.

My Easter weekend included my Aunt and cousins coming down from Sacramento, a taco, margarita, and tequilla shots night on Saturday (followed by a dance party in the kitchen and karaoke to the American Idol Wii game), and egg painting and hunt on Sunday. We always joke that my family brings its own party. This is true.
:)
Good times.

( Six goals for this week. )


ETA: Oh, yeah! I almost forgot. I received an acceptance for my poetry submission last week. "India" and "Interrupted" will appear in Bear Creek Haiku sometime in the next couple of months.

My article, called "Meditation for Writers," is up on Vision.

Two more of my poems -- "The Lost One" and "All She Wants is a Pair of Scissors" -- have been accepted by Perigee. And very happily they are already up in the current issue online.

So please read and enjoy.

I just received a postcard in the mail. Handwritten on the back was a very hard to read little note, but I could make out that it was from Bear Creek Haiku. Since I had made a submission to this publication, I assumed that it was some form of a rejection, or a we need more time to read your work.

But after some hard deciphering, I realized it was the most amazing thing -- my first acceptance. It reads:

"Greetings. We'll place "Lluvia" in an unpcoming issue of Bear Creek Haiku, might be a while -- luck in your endeavors."

Okay, so I don't know when exactly my poem may come out, and it's just a little poem, but I don't care. It's an acceptance and I couldn't be happier. I shall be doing the happy dance tonight.
