When I learned a few days ago that Jeffrey has a rehearsal after he gets off work today, I planned an impromptu tea meet-up at a Starbucks here for later today to celebrate my (gasp!) 54th birthday. I asked attendees to bring a favorite poem to share, if they like. I'm calling it a "poe-tea" and I invited people via a blog post here.
If you have a favorite poem you'd like to share with me on my birthday, feel free to leave it in the comments on that post or here on this one. My plan is to post any poems that are shared with me today on the poe-tea blog.
When I put away the Christmas decorations this year, I kept out a string of lights and draped them around my desk area. I love to sit in the early morning dark and write by twinkly lights.
One of the birthday cards my folks sent me says, "You are still a hottie...even if it comes in flashes!" In fact, I'm having a hot flash as I type this. So picture a hot-flashing woman sitting at that twinkly-lit desk and you've got a pretty good idea of how my birthday's kicking off. ;)
Jamie Ridler's blogging book group for 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women kicks off today. Check out the Secret #1 post here. And as a special treat, Jamie's doing audio interviews with some of your favorite bloggers over the course of the 12 weeks. The first interview is with one of my faves, Jenn Lee, of Life Unfolds.
None of the bookstores in my surrounding area had Gail McMeekin's book in stock, so I've ordered it from Amazon...but even they were out of stock until today. So it'll take me a few days to get my post up for Secret #1, since I don't have the book yet. Jamie said she's got at least 100 signed up to be part of this blogging book group which is really exciting. If you want to join along, just email at jamie (at) openthedoor (dot) ca to tell her you'd like to sign up.
I'm looking forward to seeing what 2009 will bring, and am happy to be starting off my year with this wonderful group.
If you'd like to see how I ended my 53rd year, check out the Flickr set here...Ciara (she's still on Winter break this week) and I took a trip to our state capitol yesterday. ;)
