Five things on a Friday
1. I was kinda kidding about dreading being home with the kids yesterday.

2. 74 days til school starts. ;-)

3. My publisher Mirrorstone (the children's imprint of Wizards of the Coast) sent me some Supernatural Rubber Chicken Book Club packets, which include a fun quiz about the first book, wordsearch puzzles, stickers, and a poster, among other things. I am glad this series is not my first publishing experience so that I can truly appreciate and marvel over the wonderful promotion it's getting. I know distributing thousands of ARCs and flying an author to conferences and giving away toys and such to promote a book is very rare, and I'm so happy I'm the author it's happening to!

4. Kathy Griffin's comedy special is hilarious.

5. It is 8:16 a.m. and my kids haven't argued or asked me for anything yet. Possibly a new record.

Every day you give me the countdown, it reminds me that I do have to go back to teaching in ack, 74 days or so. Probably less, since I start in August. And teachers NEVER think about school until at least August 1st.

So ixnay on the ountdowncay, okay? :)

And yay for you, Miss Author Who Flies to Conferences Paid For By Her Publisher!

Do you ever watch "My Life on the D-List?" That show is hilarious.

Forgot to add that you certainly ARE lucky to be getting all that promotion. Enjoy it! (and the rest of us will live vicariously through you . . .)

My son is already telling all his friends about the Rubber chicken books! I'm happy it's happening to you, too :)
And my kids haven't asked me for anything in the last 10 minutes. Is it cheating if I just put The Incredibles on?

Ooh, I love the Incredibles!
