Rose Parade Peep, Trendy Fish, and Other Fun Stuff!!!
Hooray, it's the first blog of the 2010!!!
Hey, guess what? That's what. No really, for the 2009 Golden Fuse Awards, in the ultra uber prestigious Favorite Trend of the Year category, the distinguished winner was: Pet Fish With Minds of Their Own . . . and that included Bobby Vs. Girls (Accidentally) - Bobby has a fish named Rover who does tricks . . .
(Insert clever transition here.) In a past life, I used to write and produce the Disney parade TV specials. Can you find me in these photos?

By and Bye 2009!!!
Whoa . . . where did the time go????
It's been a busy year with 43 days on the road and three books out, like ABSOLUTELY MAYBE . . .
BOBBY VS. GIRS (ACCIDENTALLY) . . .
Plus a story in GEEKTASTIC: STORIES FROM THE NERD HERD.
I was even on Fox Sports Network! Yes. Three disconnects. Fox. Sports. Me. But look, it's for real!

Christmas Feast and Fun
Peepy had the most wonderful Christmas! We both did. It began on December 24th when we went to this very festive place . . .
In Bobby Vs. Girls (Accidentally), Bobby's favorite food is/are donuts. Son loves them, too, and gets a box every Xmas.
On Christmas Eve, I was determined not to repeat the mistake my family refers to as "The Year Mom Ruined Christmas."
So this year we watched this . . .
. . . and recalled the fun we had when we saw one of the animators who worked on the film. Plus, we wer...

Happy Holidays from Peepy, Moi and The Guys!!!!
When Peepy returned from her peeparazzi laden trip back east, she was pleased to find a special limited edition book from Mo Willems in the mail, plus a Lunch Lady card from Jarrett Krosoczka . . .
Both put her in the holiday spirt, so I took a break from writing and we went on a tour of highly decorated houses. Guess which one is ours????
If you guessed . . . NONE! You are correct!!!
While we were on our home tour, Peeps ran into some of her good friends. They all wished her a very special ...

Peepy Travels First-Class . . . Alone
As you may know, a Peeps Store opened recently. Peepy and I were very excited about it and had even received our own super special VIP invitation to the Grand Opening . . .
Peepy really, really, really wanted to go. Especially since the store was a tribute to her.
But I've been busy writing a book and couldn't make last week's opening . . .
(That's my office. I'm in there, somewhere.)
Then yesterday Peeps decided that she just had to go visit the store, even if it meant leaving me behind. And so ...

Fa La La La La La LAYA Party!!!!
Well, the LAYAs (Los Angeles Young Adult Authors) were at it again.
Yes! It was the Annual LAYA Holiday Extravaganza where celebrities like Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp got to hobnob with the literary elite of Los Angeles. Or maybe the LAYAs just mingled amongst themselves . . .
We feasted on the exquisite food provided by Potluck LAYA-Style . . .
And then we played Dirty Santa (a.k.a. White Elephant Gift Exchange) where there were cars and crowns and toe soc...

Peeple Flock to Peepy's New Place
Recently, a PEEP STORE opened. Well, of course, Peepy was quite excited about this . . .
A whole store dedicated to her! And why not? After all, she's well traveled . . .
She hobnobs with famous people including Julie Andrews, Richard Peck, Marlee Matlin, Henry Winkler, New York City Cops, S.E. Hinton and Mike Jung (first runner up of our Bodacious Book Contest), Wild Things and Jon Scieszka. Guess who's who . . .
Peeps has been immortalized by world-famous artists . . .

Indie Books, Peepy's Parade and an Unexpected Santa Sighting!
This past weekend, we were very busy. Peepy and I went to visit our friend Maureen, who owns the great indie bookstore Once Upon a Time in Montrose, to say hello and to drop off some bookmarks.
Er, clarification: Maureen's store is called Once Upon a Time and it's in Montrose . . .
Then it was time to get supplies and settled down for the Montrose-Glendale Christmas Parade . . .
We had great seats right across from Maureens' store. A tall person stood in front of us, even though we had gotten...

Librarians in the Bathroom?
Hooray, the copyedited BOBBY THE BRAVE (SOMETIMES) is out the door!!!
Even though it's all done digitally, I still print it out on old-fashioned paper and give it the once-over before hitting "send" . . .
Here's more reason for Peepy and I to celebrate. Recently, we were invited to visit the San Gabriel Library . . .
We had a wonderful time talking to the crowd of 23,876-ish people. And what was really fun was afterward the library held a raffle for free Lisa Yee books!
