Let's see...this weekend sucked exhibit A, B, and C:

a. I get asked if I am pregnant at a baby shower. I'm not.

b. Paid credit card bill. Mounting debt seems insurmountable. Cry sheepishly to self.

c. I get a response from a story submission, which basically says we liked the story, but decided not to publish it. I am both uplifted that someone thought it was good and bummed that it wasn't good enough to publish.

Let's hope this week gets somewhat better.

I've had C a few times before. Did I ever tell you my pathetic publishing story? When I was sixteen, I wrote a novel. I sent it to a publisher. They said they liked it, but would not be able to commit to anything for at least a year. I was so dumb! I rejected them. I was so sure I'd find someone else to publish me.

A...it happened to me on a cruise once. That really hurt my feelings.

Anyway, I hope your vacation cheers you up.
