Happy Holidays – I’m off to New Zealand

December 19th, 2009

Well, it’s finally time for my long overdue honeymoon.  Ian and I are heading to New Zealand to hang out with sheep and penguins and do lots of hiking and photo-taking.  I’m well armed with lots of fantastic books to read and I’ll be doing a little travel writing as we go.  While we’re gone, check out the pets on our webcam here.

I hope you have a fantastic holiday!

Best wishes,

Tanya

After my heart

The local librarian wears gloves to work every single day.  Not, white ‘wow I respect books so much’ gloves but fuzzy black ‘I need a quarter inch of cotton between me and everything I touch’ gloves.  I love her style.  It speaks to the germaphobe in me.

I’m back (and getting published!)

December 2nd, 2009

Hi all you faithful readers out there.  Sorry for dropping off the blog radar for the past few weeks.  When did it get to be December?  The days have been filled with serendipitous travels, lots of writing, eating, and honeymoon planning.  I hope you can forgive me.

I’ve crawled out of my cave (aka the library) to tell you one of my poems is getting published in the Northridge Review.  Woot!  The Review will be released early in the spring and they (gasp!) want me to do a reading.  The possibilities for embarrassment when you combine me + public speaking are endless.  And that’s just how I like it!

That’s all for now but I promise I’ll be back with lots more fun soon.  Thanks for stopping by!
