Where have I been?
I’ve been puttering away at my desk these days.
With my constant companions: coffee and the very big kitten that likes to sleep in my lap. It’s like she knows I get lonely when Bug is away at school.
I’ve been making all sorts of things for you guys to see along my book tour. I’m very excited about it. I think you will be too.
Production has been a little rough going. Making, fixing, making, fixing…the things I do for you! Just kidding, this is sort of like playing. But I really do hope it pays off in the end because all this playing is not paying the bills!
Five cars later, I finally got it right. Stay tuned. This post will show up on Tuesday of next week!
And this one on Wednesday. So fun! I can’t wait to see what my secret agents do with them!
Bug was inspired by the ninja costume.
Hi-Yah-Wah!
Now you see me…
Now you don’t. Wait. What? What’s going on here? I don’t know. I think she was looking for something.
Anyway, just wanted to pop in (after nearly a week of dead, dead silence) and tell you what we’ve been up to.
We also had a tea party at my grandma’s this week. I should make this a post on it’s own but the way I’ve been keeping up with the blogging…we all know that is never going to happen. So here it is squished in with another post. I hope you don’t mind.
We go over to my grandma’s and aunt Keren’s house every Wednesday for dinner and lately they’ve been doing theme dinners. (I come by my love of theme-parties genetically.) Every Wednesday my grandma asks Bug where she’d like to go for the following week’s dinner. We’ve been to Hawaii (yummy teriyaki), Thailand (for me because I love Thai food so much) and I think Italy (for Saltimboca!). Last week Bug said she wanted to go to London so my grandma and my aunt Keren put on a grand tea party spread. It was so fun! Tiny sandwiches, tea, scones with clotted cream and jam…it was fit for the Queen!
So that’s what we’ve been up to!
Mark your calendars! My book tour starts next Monday! I’ll be posting where to go here on this blog so check in.

Oh, those theme dinners sound awesome!
I had clotted cream a couple weeks ago, it was yummy.
Also, now I really want Thai food & have to find a good place around here.
