If only I could do it justice...
There's so much I want to blog about.
...like how I just had a very tiring work trip where the airline lost my luggage so I had to make an emergency Target run for essentials. The low point was, after traveling for two full days to speak for thirty-five minutes, the rental car shuttle driver asked, “You got any luggage?” and I held the Target bag aloft and yelled, “This IS my luggage!”
But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the low point was sitting through a farmer/comedian. That’s right. He farms. He tells jokes. He made me feel like Kathy Griffin fake smiling while judging Last Comic Standing. Only the jokes were John Deere related.
And I was wearing clothes I’d bought that morning at Target.
I also want to write about how there’s nothing quite as exhausting as a birthday party for two-year-olds when it’s 100 degrees out. And they’ve had cake and ice cream for breakfast.
Or I could write about how my cousin Abby thinks I was joking when I said I should hire her to be my personal assistant and her top jobs would be #1—organizing my extra bedroom which is now FULL of random empty boxes that I keep just in case I should ever have a package emergency. And job #2—reminding me to pay my bills online—something I’ve never forgotten to do but live in constant fear of neglecting.
And the final thing I want to blog about is (again) how cool my LEARNING TO PLAY GIN cover is and how I really hope everyone can come see me at the Barnes and Noble on
But I don’t have time to properly blog about any of it.
So I won’t.
Later,
Ally

I know I shouldn't laugh, but you have such a way of telling things. And I can sooooo picture you holding that Target bag out. :)
Hope they found your luggage - I always live in fear that I'll lose my best stuff flying.
Love the new cover and the quotes!
I too have the empty box in spare room problem - did we learn this from our mothers? Hummm, I wonder?
Beautiful cover!! For some reason my mind pictured Julia with dark hair though - did I miss that, is she blonde?
Hey...I've been reading your blog for some time but wanted to say that I love the new cover! Good luck with your latest book; I love your ideas.
I'm pumped about my future job. Really! All this time I've been wondering exactly what I'm going to school for...my life now has a purpose!
It was good to see you at Charlie's....I hope "the gang" didn't terrify his neighbors!
