The Surreal Life

Wow, I turn my back for a few weeks and all of a sudden there are lots of comments on my blog.  Cool!  Mostly, I’ve been amusing myself for awhile.  It’s nice to see that others are enjoying it too.  For those of you who have asked about the RSS feed or a newsletter keep checking back here.  I will ask with Doug the web guru to see if something needs to be tweaked on the feed signup and I am starting to put together a newsletter with the first to go out by mid March.

It’s been a strange but wonderful few weeks!  First there was that quick look at Dear Baby, What I love about you! on Keeping up with the Kardashians.  So weird to see it on TV.  I have been getting some wonderful letters from parents who enjoy reading this book to their babies.  It’s so meaningful to me to connect with parents and teachers.  It’s inspiring.  Then there was my reading at the Sandy Springs Library as part of a new early literacy program spearheaded by the Atlanta Junior League.  Awesome group of ladies.  I had an adorable 4 year old heckler.  I’m not kidding.  She kept interrupting and answered EVERY question.  On the other hand she was very animated. 

I want to thank my friends and family in Chicago who have generously been spreading the word about my book signings this week.  It’s just…moving to see how excited people are for us.  Several months ago I wrote a blog about how “Some Dreams Look Good on a Shelf.”  I’ve been getting emails that the Barnes and Noble store where I have 2 of the signings this week has an endcap spotlighting my books and has been handing out flyers at the register.  Now that’s surreal. 

This process has also brought me back in touch with a few friends I have not seen or talked to in a long time.  I’m excited to catch up with them on where all our lives have taken us since we graduated ten years ago. 

Okay, so it’s not ten years ago.  It’s…It’s…It’s none of your business.  Let’s just say there was a lot of debate about Jimmy Carter, Michael Jackson had his lovely original face, and phones were GIGANTIC.
