Week-end Happenings and Article News

So, what should I tell you first? The good news or the really good news? I'll tell the really good news first.

The article that I worked very hard on last week and the week before was accepted! It will be published in AlterNative, an indigenous peoples journal, in November! I'll get the paper copy sometime that month! Woo hoo!

This does a lot to boost my confidence . . . I have this inferiority complex when it comes to submitting and getting peer-reviewed articles published. Sooo . . . yay!

The other good news is that I spent the week-end with one of my oldest friends, Paula, and her husband, Dwight. I met Paula on my first job after I received my undergraduate degree 23 years ago (WHAT!! Incredible that it was 23 years ago! Sheesh - that must mean I'm getting old, eh? LOL). They live in K. Falls - it was fun to just hang out and visit and talk. Paula and Dwight like to cook, so I always eat really really well when I'm there. Good, healthy food. They're into recycling, local food movements, organic gardening, and foraging on the landscape, whether it be huckleberries or sunstones or what have you. Great fun. Interesting people.

Well . . . time to chill out. Hope you all had a great week-end!
