Monday, May 21, 2012. Hot off the press. Hi, Internet. I just had a short story published at Retort Magazine. They publish great art, poems, and short fiction. I got word this morning that my story Breasts Like Death-Sacks. Was chosen for publication. And BAM! The Internet is so amazing that I got to see my story live directly after reading the acceptance email. Here's a screenshot, because why not? Luckily not everyone thinks so; Retort Magazine liked the story in its full F-bomb fashion. The iPhone can...

things are wonderful here.: instant love
http://jessicaabates.blogspot.com/2012/05/instant-love.html
Sunday, May 20, 2012. I've been reading Pacing the Panic Room for a while. My sister and I swoon over Ryan's gorgeous maternity series. He shot and compiled for his wife. And now Ryan has announced a contest that I'd like to a) win, and b) share with you. The embedded video is for a cool book about instant photography. Instant Love.

Saturday, February 18, 2012. And we're home owners. In late January, we closed on a house. I walked on the deck. It was a little cold that day. I walked by the nandina lining our new house. I hugged the tree in our side-yard. I wonder what it will look like in bloom. We saw the sunset from our front porch. With the help of amazing people in our life, we started renovating. Thanks Chelsea. Mom, Dad, Kristin, Melanie, Michael, and Jeremy. Seriously, thanks! Sissy, thanks in advance for the curtains. :).

Sunday, February 6, 2011. Book talk: One Day by David Nicholls. My book club picked David Nicholls's One Day. For our January book. What a doozy. As a book club filled with ladies in our mid-twenties, it was quite a sob-fest. You've been warned.]. I wasn't too keen on the book when I finished, but after the discussion at our meeting, I realized it actually was better than I thought. The reader visits the main characters, Emma and Dexter, on the same day every year - July 15, or St. Swithin's Day.
