I am so out of here. Headed to Bologna today for the Children’s Book Fair and for lots of pasta and cheese and meat eating. Then to Rio for a friend’s birthday for lots of sun and sand, and then to London for lots of shepherd’s pie and some work, too! Will miss you!

And don’t forget that April 1 is the big day for Miss Popularity and the Best Friend Disaster. It is my absolute favorite so far. I hope you like it!

Byeeeee! See you soon!

I know. I know. I am so behind in updating my blog.

How are you?

I am fine. I am SO sick of winter and snow and cold. And today, even though it’s a day off for President’s Day, I just got all my tax stuff together. LAME. And I got seven stitches last week and it hurts. Wah.

So the next part of my day is like this: TV, couch, pizza, gym. And maybe some ice cream later.

How are you spending Presidents’ Day?

I had lunch with this really cool friend of mine named Felicia the day before Thanksgiving and she asked me what I was thankful for. And I had some answers, all of which I meant, but none of which were very surprising or interesting. She kind of gave me a look like “That’s all??” but she didn’t say anything. And when I said goodbye to her, she asked me to think of one more very special thing that I was grateful for before I sat down for dinner on Thursday with my family.

And I realized what it is: That people like you are reading my blog and my writing and that you like what I have to say! I have always wanted to be a writer and it’s because of readers like you that I get to be one.

So, thank you so much for helping me realize that. I hope all of your Thanksgivings were incredible!

A woman unplugged the treadmill I was running on (at 6.2 MPH) and I totally almost fell flat on my face. And she didn’t even say sorry!

But I was secretly happy she ended my misery of running!

What happened, people? It is FAHREEZING here in Brooklyn.

I had an awesome weekend and an a great Halloween. We weren’t going to do anything but then… well, some costumes were purchased. I went as a take out container of low mein noodles. And my friends went as bananas, an M&M, a hot dog, and a lucha libre! We had so much fun. We were at a party where a little dog was dressed as an angel turtle. And my friend Steve just told me that he went as a beekeeper and his little dog went as a bee. C’mon!

Tell me what you did for Halloween!

And tell me how cold it is where you live!
