By the Numbers
6: Number of new chapter books I was asked to write for Calico Chapter Books (imprint of ABDO Publishers) on Friday. May I say Yea, Yea, Yea, Yea, Yea, and Yea?! After I finish up my next two Katharine books, I'll start the new series. Fun!
5: Number of "glitches" I've had with my newish built-for-me-computer. The most recent one being this past weekend, It's in the shop now. The last glitch: the day I had a freelance assignment due. Luckily, it only took the tech guy 30 minutes to fix that problem. The one in December? A whole week! Boo to that! (I'm typing on a tiny keyboard now and it's taking me forever to get used to it.)
4: Number of Confirmations I have in next two weeks. One of them is Sarah's. She is SO excited! When I made mine, I was terrified that the Bishop would ask me a question. When our class found out he had recently recovered from a heart attack and wouldn't ask anyone questions, we cheered. We got in trouble and were made to feel pretty guilty. Hmmm...can you say Catholic Church? Here is the dress Sarah hopes to wear IF it gets here in time. (She'll wear it with a shrug.)
3:
Kids Make Terrible Pets is Fabo! A PERFECT picture book!
2: Cases of pneumonia in my family: Sarah and my sweet MIL. Hopefully, both are on the road to recovery. Not fun. For anyone.
1: Tooth that came out on stage this weekend. The owner of that tooth? Matthew! He's been playing Mike Tevee the last two weeks in a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory During a scene where he eats a lot of candy with Wonka, I noticed his voice was a bit low. I could hear him but not like I usually could. What I didn't know was that a banana Laffy Taffy pulled out his slightly loose tooth! But, the show had to go on and he did great! His "mom" wore a wig to look like Matthew. Too funny!
