A Printz honor winner is what animal?

You'll never know unless you go and check out AS King's blog today.
Go on. You know you wanna.

Funniest. Interview. Ever?

What do you think?
(I think we had too much fun. I'm at Stephen's today >> Check it out!)

P's at it again!

Today I'm discussing big topics with Dorothy. Drop by and say hi!!!

Sushi? Whu-ut?

Today I'm at Lisa's discussing what my favorite scenes in books are, and P discovers what sushi is.
Come by and visit!
I'm also at Project Mayhem discussing how we can reech dees keeds. :-D

Word of the day: Ueberlebt

Which means, in German, that I lived through :
a) local anesthesia (because I didn't want to wait until Thursday to have it)b) the unnerving feeling of a person using a screwdriver to unscrew the bone screw FROM MY LEG
and
c) hospital food.
But I did it!
And I was bad, in that I didn't set up the posts beforehand. MEA CULPA:
So you get two today!
Chandler has THIRTEEN lines!
Marissa is EGRETLY wonderful!

Question:

Have you ever heard an Ink Wench and a P from the bottoms have a conversation about kissing?
No?
Then you need to check it out.

Nerves.

The countdown is nigh, buckaroos.
Next month will be very big for me. MY BOOK COMES OUT. LOKI TURNS ONE. THE SEKRIT PROJECT IS UNLEASHED ON THE WORLD. THERE WILL BE ANNOUNCEMENTS. :-D
*bewildered*
How did this all happen so fast? It only seems like a day ago I was sitting in my chair, my blackcat trying to share my extremely small lap space with my laptop as Loki turned circles in my stomach and my heart wanted to burst from excitement as I talked to my agent ...
"I have some good news, Jen ... "
I can still remember every bit of it.
And there are still more exciting things coming this year. In a way, I think that this (don't laugh!) shattered leg was an opportunity for me. I never really knew how much something could hurt. I had never really been in a situation where my life changed in a moment so profoundly, from an idiot thing I did. (Falling on absolutely flat ground has got to be a winner). I also never want to feel the way I have felt this last couple months - so depressed, and unable to do almost anything from pain and the hassle of this stupid broken leg. (I just kept thinking 'I can use this in a book some day!' Sick, innit?)
Right now I feel I need to give a shout-out to my dear hub's parents, R & J, because really? They (it's rude to call them dudes, I guess) stepped up to the plate and took me and Loki in and we've been staying with them this past couple months. I haven't been nice. I've hurt. I've been depressed. I've planned a blog tour and new books and everything in between while they put up with me and my writer issues. It's been amazing to watch them bond with Loki, and I anticipate sadness for both sides when we finally do go home.
WHICH IS THIS SATURDAY.
I am giddy for this. THIS Wednesday, I'm having my second surgery on this stupid leg, and then the doc swears I'll be able to start, you know, walking on it. Using it for what it's meant to do.
In the meantime, there's more fun bloggy interviews coming, and stuff. *g*
Have a great one!

THE COON STOPS HERE

Hey guys!
My good buddy Alison is hosting me and P today, and she gets a distinctive award: she's one of my very favorite animals!
But you'll have to go over and check it out to see what she is ....
Happy weekend!

The LiLa invasion

Today I'm at LiLa's blog where, unfortunately, P learns just what kind of bad words she can use 'once she's grown up.'

She also colors an animal a very dubious color.
