Thank You

Thank you to my sweet husband Edmund, whose support and love and giggle fit inducing skills have absolutely made my life. Together five years, married four years, and about to celebrate the first birthday of our sweet baby Squidling. Edmund my love, a star shines upon the hour of our meeting.


Thank you to my gorgeous, smart, hilariously silly Lily Mila. If I am ever having a bad day, your giggle and toothy smile can turn it around in a split second. I can't believe that you'll actually be eating Thanksgiving dinner with us, you big girl you. I bet you'll love the cranberries. Also, thanks to you I now cry every time I see a birth in a movie or on TV. That is totally lame, Squidling, and it's all your fault. Keep smiling, pretty girl.



Thank you to my writer friends, who have offered support, inspiration, and a healthy serving of smart assery. The love we have for each other is kind of mind blowing. I flew across the country to meet some of you in NYC this year, and I know it won't be the last time. I love you more than you'll ever know, Kody Keplinger, Courtney Allison Moulton, Emilia Plater, and Kristin Otts (K Botts 5000).












Thank you to the good friends who have stuck by my side through thick and thin, and thank you for not bailing on me if things got tough. That means more to me than you'll ever know. Chelsea Stazenski, Emmy VanUmmersen, Jamie and Tyler Riley, Travis O'Connor, and Nick Cristea. I am so lucky to have the friends that I do. I won't post pictures of any of you, since nobody even knows I'm writing this and I don't know if you want your pics up on the blog. I LOVE YOU ALL.

Thank you to my evil overlords Luna and Frodo. You're cuddly and cute and have personality, which somehow overrides the chaos. I know it was you who peed in the pile of laundry, Frodo, but I still love you. Luna, you are such a vicious bitch to everyone that's not in the family, and I think it's hilarious. Thank you for watching over the Squidling instead of trying to eat her when we brought her home.















Thank you to my amazing fucking literary agent, Joanna Volpe. I just talked on the phone with you yesterday and now have a ridiculously unexpected burst of happiness and excitement for things that are soon to come. Joanna, I don't know why you liked me or my writing but I am so, SO glad that you did. You are so supportive and helpful and genuine and hilarious, and also you enjoy Stephen King and ninjas and The Beatles and the trailer for Cowboys And Aliens, so basically you're too radical to handle. I am SO watching 3 Ninjas ASAP.





Last and certainly not least, thank you to anyone and everyone who has ever read this blog. I'm not organized with my posts, some are pretty random, but I have 133 followers and to me that's like a million. Thank you for putting up with my random rants and excessive f-bombs.


I have so much to be thankful for.

I am thankful for talented clients who don't mind me picking them up from the movies in my pajamas and who share my love of breakfast meats. ::mouth waters::

The apple biscuit turnovers of gooey goodness came out AMAZING!! And guess who forgot to take a pic?? :-( I'm making them again this weekend though! They were a hit.
