Betsy, I do not know Krasner's, but the name says a lot. Blouse is grossing me out.

TL, I would pay to see that! Or at least give you a free book :)

I'm highly considering creating an outfit comprised of all the clothing ads you've posted on your blog. And then coming to a signing.

:)

I think it would be WONDERfully funny.

2012-05-22T14:36:55.291-05:00

This is fantastic. There should never not be a sentence that has wonder and blouse in it (how's that for a double negative? I'm not even sure what I said.)

There are a bunch of Grandma's who used to shop at Krasner's writing the copy for these ads. Or young people who used to laugh at ladies who shopped at Krasner's. (I'm sorry, that store may have been a local thing. Just think lots of polyester, pant suits, and sensible underwear.)

I am so glad Mayim Bialik has come back to TV. And it's such a different roll from Blossom. I wish they showed Blossom reruns on TV. I couldn't wait to grow up and name a baby Six (now that I've grown up, that won't be happening).

Wow! She really had an impact on you to inspire religion research!

The exhibits are where it's at! I'm doing two things: signing my books on Friday night and the YA Author Coffee Klatch (which is a cheap extra ticket, and I think you can add it without having a full conference registration. Although I might be wrong on that). Awesome that you and your boyfriend get to go together!

It's lovely when I post comments on my phone and can't see my spelling/gramatical errors.

My library can't*** send me to ALA.. :( So sad. but Exhibit hall here I come! :)

2012-05-17T10:27:02.556-05:00

I love Mayim Bialik too!!!!

I love The Big Bang Theory and I'm so glad that she is now a series regular. She's the best.

I've been following her for a long time now an she has inspired me to investigate Judaism. I'm an atheist but she makes me interested in orthodoxy(sp?). Anyways shes awesome.

I love her book! I just read it a few weeks ago and find her theories to be fascinating. A good friend of mine is pretty crunchy in her parenting and is a Bradley instructor and so even though I'm not a parent (or planning on being one soon) I can appreciate Mayim's philosophies on parenting and child rearing.

And now on to ALA! My library can afford to send this lowly Library Assistant/MLIS student to the conference so I'm only going to the exhibits. Which actually works out because the boyfriend (a librarian. And we met in the library. It's library love, ain't it cute?) is doing a cosplay/ graphic novel panel in the exhibit hall. But i can't seem to remember if you're doing anything in the exhibit hall?

Chicken Soup with Rice and Pierre were some of my all time favorite things growing up.

2012-05-08T08:28:52.532-05:00

See, sometimes they give "happy endings" and sometimes they just give regular massages, and she got the appointments mixed up! Hi jinx ensued! I didn't know she was on Kids Inc!

2012-05-07T11:05:35.436-05:00

I saw part of an episode of this show and was totally confused. JLH grabbed some guy's action during the massage but apparently that was not supposed to happen. Yet, when she went home she had a wad of cash that she hid in a money box in the freezer. I found myself wondering where the JLH of Party of Five days went? Or even the LH of Kids Incorporated.

Wouldn't it be fun to do a tour of murder mysteries throughout the country?!

That sounds like it was a lot of fun!!! I love going to the murder mystery dinner theater we have nearby in Columbus, Ohio - they are a blast and involve the audience too. Once they took my husband's photo and put him on a WANTED poster - it was hilarious! Good times!

Thankfully, Starbuck's hair is already better. We've had a few show interruptions, so I have no idea when we'll finish it. How many seasons are there?

Hang in there with Battlestar. It's fantastic.

Starbuck's hair gets better and better.

I was just telling my husband we need to watch Battlestar. I haven't watched it yet (how did I miss that nerdtastic show??) So if I do start watching it, I'll know who to chat with about it!:)

2012-04-07T10:59:45.921-05:00

The fact is that a NORMAL springtime has temps in the 60s and 70s. This 40s and 50s bull crap is ridiculous and one of the things I hate about living here.

Haha no that was the look on your face! Like "...

2012-04-06T15:25:47.032-05:00

Haha no that was the look on your face! Like "man all that work and this is it?". I'm 31... Far past high school. :)

Yay, Betsy! Congratulations! I hope at least SOMEONE took a picture for you, if not a glamorous, professional one like mine :) And Amber, maybe that is what I'm thinking!

Don't know if I actually would though. Though it would be kind of wierd to see someone remembering a book front to back and saying it too O.o
Thanks! ^^

OMG!!!!!! A sequel to my favorite book!!!!! From my favorite author!!!! Thank you sooo much! I've read Get Well Soon at lest 20 times, and even done a few book reptorts on it. I bet I could probably recite most of that book cover to cover by now :P
Thank you!
