HAPPY BLOG-A-VERSARY, BAY-BEE! GOTCHYOU ON MAH MAAA-IND!

Two years ago today, I posted my very first entries to this blog, the very first of which included a meditation on the sorry state of having a cat with a cone on its head, as a well as a highly incriminating picture of said cat. (This has always, from the very start, been one of those blogs that indulges in shamelessly gratuitous cat posting.)

One year ago today, I returned from a lengthy summer blogging hiatus to post a blog-a-versary post from Canada.

And here I am today, still blogging away. A few highlights of the past year in a road trip down the information superhighway of the archives:

Good Luck Writing Hat

Artichoke Heart House Rules

A Brief Note on Cat Poop

Howl at the Moon

Demented Tutu

Chocolate Bath Beads

Conversations With My Japanese Mother

It's been a strange and wonderful year . . . working at home all year on the artist fellowship, a love affair that ended badly, the unexpected death of a beloved cat, and (six months later) the arrival of La Fabulosa Bean Bean, my new book coming out in March, lots of traveling, and now back to teaching again this fall.

I'm so curious to see what will happen next . . .
