It’s Mardi Gras!  That means absolutely nothing to those of us with babies, but I do have a few little things to celebrate:

--Patrick is sleeping through the night!  I think I can announce that now, since he has been sleeping at least five hours straight every night for the past two weeks.  The best part is that several of those nights have been stretches of six hours and two of them were-- gasp!-- seven hours!

--I received my copies of Best of Best Women’s Erotica today.  I love getting books in the mail, especially books that include my work.  And my story “Call Me” is the second story in the collection, right after Rachek Kramer Bussel’s fabulous “Animals.”

--I’m writing again!  Joy!  Happiness!

--I have a fabulous part-time babysitter for Patrick now!  Joy!  Happiness!  (And also one of the reasons I’m writing again.)

--I’m officially registered for the RWA conference in Nashville in July.  The conference is being held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort.  Ahh… a resort with a full service spa.  I’m hoping to take a break from the conference madness and indulge in a massage while I’m there.

--Fairy Tale Lust isn’t due out until July (perfect timing for RWA and the literacy signing), but I will be announcing a new call for submissions very soon. 

Happy Fat Tuesday!
