----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- happy and grateful Working with the Dream Publication (dream pub for me, that is--it's no New Yorker or Atlantic or Oprah but it's a magazine I've read and loved since college) has not been the easiest--but I think that's been good for me. It's pushed me to do better even as parts of the process frustrated me. Even as I worked triple hard for about a third of the pay one might have expected on a piece like this. Honestly, I would have done some pay-to-play action to get in this mag, so whatevs. And, now I am happy to say that the editor SAID I COULD PITCH HER AGAIN. BRB crying happy tears. Look at me being all happy and grateful for something. IT HAPPENS. OH. And more importantly, today C. and I celebrate 19 years of being hitched. Here's what I remember from that day: LC doing my hair because I'm stupid about such things. Being so, so nervous. Angel Boy escorting us downstairs to the bar (we got married in a bar--yes, the marriage is valid, thanks for asking. Actually it's a nightclub/bar and it's always been our favorite place to see bands AND I was booking bands there at the time and my best friend's family owns it so really this whole you-got-married-in-a-bar?!?! thing is kinda quaint) Seeing so many people I love--friends, family--in one place and feeling overwhelmed with love--not just for C, but for everyone. Being so, so nervous. Love. Nineteen years. Just like that. It feels like a lifetime has passed and, then again, it feels just like yesterday. It's been quite the journey. Good, bad and everything in between. And here we are; we keep on keepin' on. Hey, look at me being all happy and grateful. 9:48 am - 14.08.18
