Dear My Life, How are you? I'm okay. We've been living at my sister's house for awhile because our new old house is not done or near done or will be done any time soon. That's fun. Sister is very nice and they have a new new house with heat and soft carpet and a big large TV that plays pinocchio and Tom and Jerry and Mickey Mouse on demand. Heaven. One day my husband had a birthday. It was last week. I got him a big mac to celebrate. With cheese. Does cheese come on a big mac? Did I make a fool of myself at the drive thru when I said "Big Mac with cheese?" Didn't think about it at the time, I just really wanted to surprise him with an extra special treat. With cheese. Another day I took a shower. And then another day we went to Thanksgiving Point and saw the new soil to market exhibit that is MORe than awesome. Plus there was a worm farm, some chocolate milk and baby rabbits. None of these days had any writing. Except for the grocery list that was actually quite literary. I tried to show not tell. Oh and I had an awesome interview with lovely friends Sara Zarr (New Book ONCE WAS LOST released on that very day!! Can't wait to read it) and Emily Wing Smith last Thursday. It will show up sometime in Salt Lake City Weekly. My hair was very sleek. I think that's almost all of everything. I hope things are going well for you. Like you aren't so depressed that you wish you were rollerskating in hot pink sweat pants instead of scraping off wallpaper and being impatient with the people you love. I also hope you are eating healthy foods that are made with things like carrots. Maybe we should get together soon for lunch or a swim or something. Much Love and Marriage, Ann Dee P.S. Please attend to two year old who is crying that he has "a lot of boogers, Mommy. Get them, get them." P.P.S. Remember how Debra Schubert has a blog and had an invited guest on her blog named Daisy Whitney and Daisy listed  Everything Is Fine
as a part of
her YA indoctrination list? Remember that? That was the best. Thanks
Debra and Daisy. Do you want to come to lunch or for a swim too? Okay.

Subscribe to this comment's feed| I [heart] the new design, Ann Dee! I also love your Greek letter initials, though they remind me of my much-loved ferrets (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). Glad your hair is so sleek. Wish mine were sleek. Instead, it's frizzy, and bits fall out every time Baby grabs at it. I'm also a bit scared to use de-frizz products, since Baby keeps making like he's going to start chewing on it... |

| Basically I'm kind of jealous that you're scraping wallpaper in an old new house that is yours and hearing that people like the books that you have written AND published while I sit in the basement apartment of a house I don't own writing ad copy for exciting companies like insurance agencies and used car dealerships in California. Oh and my child is screaming in the background too. I think your life rocks. Boogers and all. |

| I loved hanging out with you and your sleek hair last week. Good times. I then remembered why our friendship differs from most--we have yet to actually spend any real amount of time together. Have you noticed that? Our friendship definitely rocks, in its own way. Hopefully we can spend some QT in the future, maybe scraping wallpaper. Yeah, that sounds good. Email me! |
