Very Busy up in Here
My neighbor, Wendy, has the best phrase ever. When she’s explaining something, like some crazy project she decided to pull off that normal people wouldn’t even try, she points to her head and says, “It’s very busy up here. Very busy.” It always makes me imagine all kinds of thought bubbles duking it out inside her skull.
Well that’s me these days. I kinda want to adopt her phrase. Forget spying into my little life, my new tagline should say “It’s very busy in here.” The frustrating thing is not a lot what is going on in my head is getting out on paper or anywhere productive. In fact most of what is in my brain is just floating away inside my car because all I seem to do is drive these days. Drive drive drive. I’m always driving somewhere.
But you know… you can’t win them all. At least I’m not staring at a screen wondering what to write.

Quick, quick, QUICK! Update!
This week has been a whirlwind but I like being busy so that’s good.
First of all I want to tell everyone thank you for the book tour response! You guys make me feel like I can actually do this. My publisher and I are still working out the schedule for the virtual tour so if you haven’t heard from me it doesn’t mean I’m blowing you off, it just means I’m behind in emailing (like usual. Arg).
I’m off to face paint at Bug’s fall carnival! (Like my kit? I’m such a pro now, with one party under my belt. Ha ha) The cake at the top is my contribution to the cake walk. I love being a mom of a kindergartener. School events are so much fun. I wish I could do it for five years in a row and skip the teenage years.
Speaking of, have you seen Bug in her Halloween costume? I feel like I’m looking into the future and it makes my heart hurt. Stop growing up, BUG! Stopit!!
Bug’s school pictures came in. She looks so much like Toby! That jaw! And me. That round chin, poor kid. I wish I could find that old post where I amalgamated our faces to see what she would look like before she was born. Found it! Thank you Dana! I think they came true.
We went to a Strawberry Shortcake event yesterday to promote the new Cherry Jam character that is Strawberry Shortcake’s new best friend. I’ll have to post more about that later on my review blog because they hooked me up with a bunch of swag I need to give away. Videos anyone? Stay tuned.
And lastly, don’t miss my Dia de Los Muertos craft on Alpha+Mom. It’s so easy and quick. Even the black-thumb crafters could do it!
Now I’m making like a tree and leaving! Swoosh! That’s me gone.
