Shivers down my spine...

...to read these words from Little Willow's blog:


The first Baby Sitter's Club book came out twenty years ago. For the majority of the fifteen years the books came out, the characters stayed the same age. In real life, Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, Stacey, and Dawn would now be in their thirties.

How weird is that???

What were you doing at 6:43pm this evening?

I was driving round and round Albert Park lake, waving my fancy evening-wear skirt in front of the car's air vents, desperately trying to dry the dog-vomit off before I disembarked to attend the Children's Charity Network Annual Dinner-y Thing. Mental note: dog gets carsick.

Home again, home again, jiggety jig

Good things about being home:
-toast
-short-life milk
-friends & family
-the puppy's trembling, ecstatic welcome
-finding signed copies of The Last Days and Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist on my desk
-reading The Last Days and Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist.

Bad things about being home:
-jetlag
-bad news from people I love.
