Tricks and Treats

The fact that I weighed myself yesterday and it was ugly. Very ugly: TRICK

Allowing myself not to freak out about it until the sequel is finished: TREAT

Watching Friday Night Lights--an awesome show that deals not just football, but also the freaky/cool/interesting dynamic that is small town America (a subject on which I am nothing if not an expert)--TREAT

Realizing while watching Friday Night Lights that Kyle Chandler is the new Patrick Dempsey--DOUBLE TREAT

Going on to realize that I've loved Kyle Chandler since Homefront which makes me feel pretty old--TRICK

Knowing that I should probably work tonight instead of turning on my porchlight and getting overrun with the hundreds (and no, I'm not exaggerating) of trick-or-treaters that will descend upon my street this evening: TRICK (or depending on how seriously I'm taking the first two items on this list, TREAT since I've already bought a little bit of candy--).

The fact that my new favorite writer John Green has formed a NaNoWriMo for the deadline-challenged (Known as NAFADOYBIMSCOM -- NAtional Finish A Draft Of Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Month)--TREAT.

The news that the very cool Jana Deleon has already actually purchased a copy of LEARNING TO PLAY GIN because stores have put it out early--TREAT!!!!

The fact that despite the book already being in some stores a couple of online vendors that shall remain nameless still don't have the cover image up on their websites...TRICK.

Realizing that even though I feel like the slowest-worst-laziest writer in the world, I have actually had three books released in the past eleven months (two of which weren't even finished a year ago): TREAT

The news that my favorite Hollywood couple is splitting up--Heartbreaking Trick.

Knowing that my mother has made my nieces coordinating clown costumes--TREAT.



And this...how can this be anything other than the biggest TREAT ever!




Having fans that are so cool, and fun, and creative that they make you laugh out loud: TREAT!!! The biggest, best, and coolest treat of all!



Happy Halloween everyone!

Do we need a NEW Patrick Dempsey? Is Patrick Dempsey not enough of a treat all by himself?! :)

If someone can't see the picture they should right click, go to properties, copy the website address and use it.
