just chillin’

i know. i’ll miss blogger too! but BUT if you
take the time to comment, i’ve made sure that
you can look like a funny alien thingy. =) i seemed
to have been randomly assigned to a rather goofy
looking one–but it’s probably appropriate. ha!
i feel like my alien avatar of late.

right now, i’m up in los angeles hanging out as
it’s my mom’s birthday! as much as i don’t like
LA (it’s a monstrosity in size and the freeways
are loopy), i DO love the food
here. =) i’ve had some awesome dim sum and will
have japanese at a small wine house type restaurant
(according to my mom) for dinner before zipping back
with two dozing over-indulged and over-exhauseted
bubs in the back of the wagon tonight. (and yes, i
do drive a wagon. ha! with wood side panels. just
kidding.)

it’s spring break this week, and then we’ll return
to our regularly scheduled programming! i just
finished SKIN HUNGER by kathleen duey and loved
it. such a gripping read, i especially loved two interwoven
stories of the characters from two time periods in their
lives. kathleen has graciously agreed to an interview over
at the enchanted inkpot, so i’ll keep you posted! =)

i haven’t quite decided what i’ll read next. i’ll let you
know when i settle on something. in the mean time,
happy easter to everyone who celebrates! we’ll probably
be poking in tide pools and digging holes in the sand
at the beach…

    and your alien is so much cuter than mine!

    lesley–thank you! and i like your alien more too! haha! you’d think as the “owner” of this blog–they’d let me choose my alien. but no.

    Hee hee hee … like you, I, too, want to see if I am the same alien again. And you know what? I AM THE SAME ALIEN ON ANOTHER SITE!!!!

    Lesley

    PS If you are not careful, you are gonna have me commenting loads here just to see my alien! HA!! Hmmm … I look a little demented …

    Like Sunna, my alien is just me. At the age of 2, I believe. I do have convincingly alien hair, though.

    I hope I’m a cute alien ;)

  21. Posted April 10, 2009 at 8:59 am | Permalink

    Oh! Weird! I’m not an alien! I’m me? Why am I the only one who doesn’t get an alien? *bangs head on table*

  22. Posted April 10, 2009 at 8:59 am | Permalink

    Me? An alien? Yes!!

    Like the new site design, by the way.

    Um, excuse me, some of us already know what kind of alien we are. That is to say, the powerful, benevolent, all-knowing kind. ;)

  24. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:01 am | Permalink

    Yay for spring break! I need to remember to put this link in my sidebar now. Going. Right now.

  25. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:01 am | Permalink

    Oh, if you haven’t read it, you should read The Forest of Hands and Teeth!

    Love the new site. :-)

  26. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:03 am | Permalink

    I have a feeling I’m not going to be a cool alien.

  27. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:03 am | Permalink

    Ooh, but I am. I thought for sure my wordpress avatar was going to come up. Huh. Now I’m confused.

  28. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:06 am | Permalink

    juliette–you have your foto loaded into wp. i don’t know how, but i think i will keep my befuddled alien. hehehe!

    I went in to Barnes & Noble yesterday and put your book on reserve. I hope they put it out before the official day. I’d just rather not wait.

  34. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:43 am | Permalink

    Am very curious what alien I will be. If it’s just a pic of me, won’t you be suspicious that maybe I AM an alien???

  35. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:44 am | Permalink

    Oh. My alien rocks.

  36. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:45 am | Permalink

    jacqui, hahahahaha! you are the angry heart-shaped kick arse alien. omg!

    imazdi thank you! <3

    liz, i see you are a wp person already with a lovely fish avvy? =D

  37. Posted April 10, 2009 at 9:48 am | Permalink

    jacqui, yes your alien does rock. no one is surprised. i bet if you looked like that, everyone would listen to you at home all the time. ha!

  38. Posted April 10, 2009 at 10:04 am | Permalink

    I want an alien, too!

  39. Posted April 10, 2009 at 10:05 am | Permalink

    Hi Cindy! Hmm, that sounds weird since I usually call you by your old webbie nickname! Hahaha! What should I call you when I visit at your LA signing? :-)

  40. Posted April 10, 2009 at 10:06 am | Permalink

    I wonder why my Blogger list shows that you haven’t posted for two days. It says pine-1.jpg is the last post. It’s a lie! However, if I click on your name it brings me to the current happenings. *shurg*

  41. Posted April 10, 2009 at 10:08 am | Permalink

    brian–you have no alien! you can call me cindy. ms pon if you’re nastay. =p

    imazadi, why? why blogger lies?

  42. Posted April 10, 2009 at 10:11 am | Permalink

    Obviously blogger’s mommy didn’t teach it not to lie. I just don’t know what this world is coming to. ;op

  43. Posted April 10, 2009 at 10:17 am | Permalink

    darn, no alien face for me. but my real face is even scarier! must be picking it up from some other site that i’m registered on.

  44. Posted April 10, 2009 at 1:16 pm | Permalink

    So lets see about aliens first thing in the morning shall we!
