My brain, she is tapioca after conference and cross-country travel. But yay, Erin on the job! I love Ginger's phrases to get you through the journo classes.
Photos from SF have started trickling in and I've discovered that a) pinks/burgundies/purples are indeed my colors and b) I seriously need to lay off the peanut butter M&Ms.
Cleans up okay
You were on Today, right. Barab? I just read about it, a bit, in Smart Bitches!
Oops, stove.
Yay, Erinjob! That's got to feel very, very good.
Barb, you look gorgeous in that dress! The colors, the shape, your hair, you're rocking it all!
(((Ginger))) Feel better soon.
Yay, new job Erin!
Home from vacation. Ordered wedding bands today. Very tired.
I came home to find a big box of clothes from Stephanie for Matilda.
It's always cool knowing she's wearing cute things from Elle and Casper.
Matilda dug into the box immediately and tried on a new dress and jacket (with holly on it? cherries?) and a sweater. Just layered up and grabbed JZ's hand and dragged her outside to show it off.
We had Emmett's friend Jack over last night. He's been bugging us for a sleepover because he's totally enamored with Matilda. He wants a little sister so bad. Anyway, they played with her for hours yesterday until she conked out.
When I picked her up today she asked, "Obbie?" And I had to tell her, no, Obbie was with his mom (Emmie). "Zhack?" she inquired hopefully.
she inquired hopefully.
Ackackack. Man, little sisters & big brothers can be so heartmelting. A best friend has a 3 y.o. daughter and a 15 y.o. stepson. The kids' devotion to each other completely does me in. It's lovely to see it is at least not an unknown phenom. Me & my brother were never that nice to each other in our youth, but we were much closer in age.
Jilli, this month's Lucky has a "Goth" trend section. I just read it. It uses the phrase "spooky-alluring" to describe a cameo on a ribbon as a bracelet.
It's v. silly!

I was a random body they managed to snag, along with author Lisa Kleypas. We had to look "dreamy" and then they superimposed images of hot guys above our heads. (Relative thing, since I got Patrick Dempsey and for me, NSM with the hotness, but whatev.)
The gist of that bit was that what were we fantasizing about-- was it the hot guys? No! It was meeting all the authors we loved at the RWA Literacy Signing.
::grin::
Maybe one of these days one of my books will actually make it onto Today but for now, I'm content.
And thanks, sail-- considering how fast I had to get ready, I'm frankly amazed it all wound up looking so decent in the end.

Oh lord. I'll have to remember to look at it the next time I'm in a bookstore.
