15 Little Pieces of Random
Yep. LYKY will soon be enjoying its 15th week on the New York Times Bestseller list. Forgive me if I pass out now.
In honor of the occasion...
15 LITTLE PIECES OF RANDOM:
1. I know heat rises (duh) but I had no idea how much hotter the second story of my house would stay than the first story. At one point this week I was honestly tempted to run the air conditioner upstairs and the heater downstairs. I didn't. But I was tempted.
2. people who have problems focusing should not try editing their books at Panera Bread while, at the next table, somebody else interviews for a job.
3. I love pretty flowerbeds.
4. I'm the world's worst person at planting and maintaining pretty flowerbeds.
5. The Hostess 100 calorie chocolate cupcake packs will probably be the death of me.
6. I have a new "no stretchy pants before 7 p.m." rule.
7. It's now 7:02.
8. Care to guess what I'm already wearing?
9. Two GREAT books just came out in paperback this week: THE BOY BOOK by E. Lockhart and SPELLS AND SLEEPINGBAGS by Sarah Mlynowski. Check them out!
10. I think I've finally realized why I LOVE Dancing with the Stars!
11. It's because it's the only thing I can think of in this day and age where even the AUDIENCE dresses up! I swear, there's a little Madame Dabney inside of me, and she loooooooves that!
12. Trying to set up new health insurance can SERIOUSLY cramp a girl's day. (Especially if she's not allowed to wear stretchy pants!)
13. Spring has officially begun. Not because there have been tornadoes. Not because the dogwoods are in bloom. Nope. I have had my first Diet Cherry Limeade of the year from Sonic, so spring is here.
14. 15 is a big number. Bigger than you'd think.
15. But I'm so, so, so grateful!

that sounds awesome im bout to blog search and see if i can find out what stretchy pants r exactly but if i cant ima google it
WTG Ally!
15 weeks! Congrats!
Wow, those are really random, but reading your randomness keeps me entertained. :)
haha. why no stretchy pants b4 7?
I love those 100 calorie packs they are soooo good. anyway here is a really random poem a boy in my class wrote to g along with your random things list:
There was this gallon og milk
It drank as smoothly as silk
Supposdly it makes you stronger
Filling you up with no more hunger
It helps me build strong bones
To help me lift up my heavy phone
One day my mom brought milk home
And when I saw it I gave that jug a hug
With all this help you give to me everyday
I wish that maybe I can return the favor someday
I'm gonna have to read those books by E. Lockhart!

I love being random and that was very insightful. Is that even a word? Well it is now.

I LOVE LUV LOVE you books!
ally, i could not live a day without streachypants right after swim practice in the morning and afternoon so you aren't the only one in love with them.
re to dippy disky: streachy pants are like sweatpants and flanal pants put together. like yoga pants. if you know what they are "Hardtails" are definatly streachy pants.
We need to find you a place where you can edit in peace....lol
I'd be really distracted though, too.
Oh, and thanks for the book suggestions, I'll get around to one of them eventually...=)
congrats on the 15th week of being on the bestsellers!
hostess cinnomin coffee cakes are
the death of me!!!!
giuliana
yay stretcheeeeeeeee pants!!!!! spankeees=love
Congrats on week 15!!! I get paid tomorrow, so maybe I will be able to help get it to week 16!
Hey ally!15 weeks that is a gret number.I love stretchy pants too!What can I do without them?I love to say something random it just makes the day!LOL:D

:D I drink Cherry Limeades from Sonic all the time.
good job ally!! congrats!! those 15 things were really random!!
i dont have a sonic where i live...
Hostess chocolate cupcakes... ugh I have four more days of passover before I can eat anything like that again. For the record, Matzah meal (matzah mixed with water that people use to make kosher for passover cookies and pancakes and stuff) is quite possibly the grossest stuff ever. Cammie could probably kill someone just by making them eat it for eight days straight. *checks secret stash of k-for-pesach chocolate*...
But anyway, that was me being random...
15 weeks! Incredible! i mean, seriously, that's A LOT. I mean it - A LOT. (If I published a book - not happening any time in the near future - you would see it on the NYT list for about a milisecond, if at all. I can't write for an audience, like a certain incredible author (cough, cough)).
Great writing.
You could pull a jk rowling on us and give the last word of the current draft of GG3. She did that with HP - 'scar', but then again she ended up changing it in a revision... but still, the hints are cool.

Well done! I don't want to sound offensive or anything close to it, but I just wanted to let you know that not only middle schoolers love your books, and that you've done and excellent job pitching to all girls fed up with trashy chick-lit (Honestly, the YA section can be unbearable at times...). Even my 22 year old sister couldn't put CMH down when I bought it (the first day, might I add)
:)
thanks for being amazing!
I got bored near the end because they started to get less random or more wierd.
Thought you ota know

THATS AWESOME!!!!! GREAT JOB!
Spells and Sleepingbags just came out in paperback? I already have it in paperback....weird
Random ROCKS!, don't you think? Congratz on your 15th week!!! You deserve it!!!
LOL!!!!! Gota love the stretchy pants...^_^

You're going to have trouble with it in several weeks when you have, say, 25 or 30.
That's an awesome problem to have.
Oooh, i can't wait for the third book of Gallagher Girls!! I just finished reading the second today and its soo good! Its cool how Josh is still in the books! Hopefully Zach comes back!!!
I don't think that #15 should count as a random piece! You should tell us something that only the people who go on your blog get to know. Unless that information is
... highly classified information!
:) Sorry. My arm must be full of jello right now because I totally don't have a funny bone inside of me. I was trying to do an inside joke from THE SQUAD series... hehe... now you get it... right?
C YA, ~Pris
Replying to Number 12:
Just remember that whatever it may cost or however frustrating it may be to set up, health insurance is really important!!! My dad's doing chemo, and one shot cost like 11,000 dollars. But with health insurance, it was only like 20 bucks.
Oh, and I remember you being really excited that your books are at Wall-Mart or something, so I figured I should let you know they're at Target too. :)
Yay You!! Also, those hostess 100 calorie packs are so good and addictive! :)
Wow. that is random! Is your ickies better yet? and what the on earth are stretchy pants?!?!?!?! Oh and dancing with the stars is nowhere NEAR better than- AMERICAN IDOL BABY!!!! I luv that show- to bad carly got booted off- she was alright but brooke should have gotten booted- she messed up! Any ways hope you finish you editing and i hope you don't have the ickies anymore.
I WANT STRETCHY PANTS!!! ^^ lol thanks for the totally random list, Ally :) I enjoyed it :p
what are your stretchy pants? i might have to go out and get some!! could you tell me where you got them from? that would be awesome!! thanks ally!!
My friend said ur weird- I agree.
That doesn't keep u from being awesome.
He also said He didn't understand how girls could read books about the things ull rite about.
I love being able to understand somethin he doesn't- he always beats me in math (Not my fav subject)
thnx.
hello ally i have read both of your books a while ago it really is taking u along time to piblish huh?
hey ally!!
r ur ickies gone yet?? i just had a fever and i think i still have it! :( and i also had a really bad cough, which is still with me (cough cough!! for real i just coughed!! lol!) anyways i do hope ur ickies r gone!!
GG3 is taking a very very long time. I hope it comes out soon because i am running out of books to read. The Clique series is becoming quite a bore. Well hurry!
Heehee
