It's raining here and I'm totally one of those people who just wants to live in a giant gray sock in a giant cupboard when it rains.Serena just posted about a cupcake blog which cheered me up with its photos and recipes. This inspired me to put a plug in to you all about a blog that I read regularly, written by a woman who lives in Perth, Australia called Karen Cheng: Snippets of Life. Topics range from her sons to vacations to dresses to cloth diapers, but her reflections on life and parenting are abundantly honest and heartfelt and I've really enjoyed reading it over the last couple of years.
On a total whim, I submitted a poem to Fence Magazine, but who am I kidding... I haven't written anything in earnest since June of 2004. We'll see if anything happens, but in the words of Louise Gluck in her latest collection, Averno:
They write their names in mist on a train window.
I want to say, you're good girls,
trying to leave your names behind.
