Who goes to Riverdale High? I am starting there this fall.

[Mom, Dad]
Can we go shopping for some new things in the next few weeks before high school starts? Please!

So Riley is moving in with me tomorrow ...

I am so bored. Anyone want go out and hit some balls or something? Miss playing baseball.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT BROOKE!!!!

SO apparently my memory is sucking these days and I seem to be forgetting a lot, and that is why I am posting a reminder for my workshops coming up at The Writers Block. There is still time to sign up here if anyone is interested go ahead and do so. I hope to see you all there.

What the heck? I remember these little guys showing up last year but I did not get anything from them. This time, on my way into Topanga's for work a little cherub handed me a bouquet of flowers. They are gorgeous but I was quite surprised. Anyone else receive anything today?

As I last mentioned I was opening a book thrift store. The Writers Block is now open and I am having my first two events for the children and pre-teens out there. The book store is located in New Orleans and now Brooke is close to me where she works.

These workshops are both free and are to build love in writing in children. Without further ado, here is the sign-ups for my two workshops. They will be every Saturday for two weeks so this is a commitment if you sign up. I hope to see some of you there.

[By popular demand I have decided to add a class for those 13-17-year-olds interested in a workshop. Please sign up below. Thank you.]

Shhhh! Quiet! Don't move a muscle or you'll ruin the whole surprise! Who is the unsuspecting creature wandering its way down the conspicuously quiet hallway? Will they be shocked and amazed? Or overwhelmed with terror? The surprise party lies in wait, hoping for the ultimate shock and awe from its unwary prey...

Tree frogs, both poisonous and not, tremble in its wake. Is it gentle or malicious? How does it move across the swaths of foliage so quickly? The jungle giant knows no bounds and leaves only elephantine footsteps behind. But the most important question remains, what will it do next?

Over the balustrade and underneath the trap door, shrieks pierce the crowded amphitheater. Hiding amid a flurry of harried ballerinas, dripping backstage decor, and a slew of artificial foliage is a mysterious cloaked figure. Who can it be? What has this strangely clad individual done? Only you can uncloak this dastardly fiend.

Help me. What do I get Jamie for Valentine's day? Especially since it has been a year next month since we have begun hanging out in a romantic way, almost a year since our first date! So what should I get him?

[Jamie]
Can you believe it has been almost a year since we have begun dating? Time really does fly when one is having fun! How are things with our daughter? That still sounds so strange to me to say. Strange in a good way, but strange none the less. Want to grab a family dinner this weekend with her? And then maybe Saturday just you and I can do something, after work if you have to close? I am opening Friday and Saturday. Let me know. I love you.
