Quick, give me another song!

June 8, 2010 Filed Under: Blog Tour, Publication Week, STAY

The other day, my sister-in-law posted on my Facebook wall that we were at the final countdown for the book and now I can’t stop singing Europe.


We are so close, I can taste the grape Kool-Aid (which, after writing STAY, I will never be able to drink again, by the way).

I am also so completely overwhelmed (in a good way) by the support from all of you. This week marks the start of my blog tour, and it’s been so amazing to get to answer questions and read posts by bloggers I know and love. THANK YOU!!!! Things don’t ever feel quite real until you can share them with friends, and now, finally, it’s all starting to sink in.

Holy crap! I wrote a book. :)

Here are some links, blog tour and otherwise, where STAY has been showing up. I’ll be posting every day this week with updates as to my whereabouts online. Since I didn’t post links yesterday, there’s a one day delay on post links (if you’re interested in the minute technical details of my link posting methodology).

  • On Common Ground
  • Chiot’s Run
  • Chick Lit Central
  • Blatherskite
  • Hearts into Home
  • Lori Roy

Also, my co-Greenists have made it STAY week at The Greenists, and in honor of Van’s penchant for the junkiest of junk food, NPW put up a recipe for organic pop rocks yesterday. Seriously! You knew NPW was awesome, but did you know she could make pop rocks?

If you’re a writer, don’t forget to enter the query letter contest.

And if you have the cure for singing Europe non-stop, please leave it in comments.

    Great — now not only am I singing “The Final Countdown” in my head, I’m also doing the Gob dance from Arrested Development.

    Once again, Stay = awesome. :)

    At first I was just singing “The Final Countdown” in my head but now there is the visual of Gob in my head too. This is contagious, a Gob Final Countdown outbreak! :p

    The only cure for Europe is more Europe, in my opinion. Hair of the dog, Al. Hair of the dog.

    Courtney, & Mudnessa – Final Countdown is so much better if you picture Gob dancing!

    Larramie – not missing at all! Don’t worry! I’m posting on a one day time delay.

    Em – I don’t know, I’m skeptical of that method. :) Although, it’s not like I can make it WORSE.

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
