I am not a weiner

Although I am second runner-up to one. Yay me!

And yay North Chicago RWA for putting on such a lovely little do. The champagne was great, the chocolate fed my soul, and the women were the best and the brightest. It's an honor, ladies. See you next year.

(August update: I also heard from the Valley Forge RWA, where I was also a finalist in their competition. FMT came in second. Thanks, ladies! Smooches right back atcha.)
