I moved to NYC.
Picked out my tattoo font for the occasion.
Sparkles, hearts and love to JRA and KAA.

weekend wrapup
Where did the weekend go, seriously? *scratches head*
Mine was busy with fun things, a little bit of work and hanging with BFF while we went to Macy’s and got our nails done. It was kind of an we’re (including R)-all-waiting-for-Monday couple of days. R was actually the one who convinced me to replace my ridic sneakers. So, Kate and I went to Macy’s and petted shoes we couldn’t afford if we combined our bank accounts. But we did find some killer heels and sneakers for K and two preeettty pairs of walking/exercising shoes for me. Kate and I decided we’re going to start walking around our park soon (under the strict ruling that I’m somehow supposed to protect her from ALL nature.) and I sooo needed shoes. Pink and gray and pink and white Pumas. I heart them!
We hopped the train back home and later got our nails done. Now, this is soo picture worthy. I got mine done in honor of ALICE IN WONDERLAND in a shade called “Mad as a Hatter” by OPI.
Yes, it is an explosion of sparkles. Love. Love.
Must start writing now though I’m super distracted, so “working” might mean cleaning or mindless organizing. Or rewriting my to-do list for this INSANE month. But it’s insane in a good way because it’s something I’m really excited about–going to Florida (hello, 75 degrees!!) and presenting at a conference. Plus, BFF’s coming and we’re going to have fun. 🙂
Happy Monday!
Happy Friday!
Last night was awesome! Went to Madison Square Garden with Editor K and J.R. Angelella to see Kathy Griffin. I totally heart her show and it was the coolest thing to see her in person. Pics are on my Twitter feed and Facebook.
Back to writing now and prepping for a day-long writing marathon tomorrow. I’m superexcited about this book–it’ll be the introduction of a new character, Brit, and there will be DRAMA! 🙂
Turned in one of my two articles, so I’ve got to finish the second one soonish and hand that in. The next few months are going to be a blur–going to Florida, Oklahoma and Utah for conferences. I’m not speaking in Utah–it’ll actually be like a vacay! *gasp* Do not want to think about the last time I took an actual vacation. Ummm…? No clue. But the Florida trip gives me an excuse to shop–I need a swim suit as the fab hotel has an outdoor pool (likely going to be too cold), BUT there’s also a whirlpool. Love.
Back to writing! Happy Friday everyone!
My friends know me well…
(PG, you are awesome!)
(Julia-thank you!!)
Woke up to these pics from friends for my birthday. PG obvi knows my love for RPattz and Julia must have had ESP and known I hadn’t seen the Canterwood books on display on the Favorite Series shelf at B&N. Oh, snap!! That’s sooo cool!
Today/tonight is going to be *awesome.*
Lunch in Midtown and then…likely live Tweeting as details unfold. 😀 V v excited to spend my first birthday in my apt with Team Awesome. ❤
Bye, 22!
Wow. Today’s my last day as a 22-year-old. I feel waaay older. But also very immature in some ways. (Like, my addiction to every flavor of lip gloss I can find…and, um, my love for all things Twilight…) 🙂
I’m superexcited about my birthday. Plans are set and I’m sensing an Epic Weekend.
Thanks so much to everyone who’s already wished me happy birthday on Facebook, Twitter, etc. You guys are so sweet! ❤
Halloween is almost here! Let’s talk costumes.
Sooo…my fave holiday is almost here! Halloween! 
glitter-graphics.com
I’m into to cutesy, fun Halloween stuff. I *adore* IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN and HOCUS POCUS. It’s hilarious to watch Sarah Jessica Parker before she became SJP. Love. I DVRd those and also set mine to record INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. I’ve always been too scared to watch it, but I think I’m ready. Trying to build up my tolerance for horror films. I also realllly want to see SLEEPY HOLLOW with Johnny Depp (my pirate-boy!) and Christina Ricci. Again, I was too scared to see it when it came out. I did have the soundtrack that I played on Halloween and that was freaky.
I was thinking about past costumes when I was a kid/teen. One year, I was a cowgirl with a (*cringe*) fringe skirt and button down pink shirt and cowboy hat. I also had a pair of killer cowboy boots and a belt that had a horse on the buckle.
Another year, I was Snow White. That was fun. Then I was Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
I was also (shocker) an English rider. I wore that to school for costume day.
One of my faves was a black cat. Ears, whiskers, black pants and a tail. Very fun!
Anyone dressing up this year? If so, what’s your costume? If not, what was your fave costume?
Rival Revenge is complete! Woo!
Oooh, yay! The final draft of RIVAL REVENGE is in Editor K’s hands. Yaaay! Book #7 is a wrap. Well, till copyedits anyway. But by then, I’ll be loong into HOME SWEET DRAMA.
Now, to tackle the to-do list that seemed to come out of nowhere and become quite long. It involves lots of vlogging. And video making. And Website updating. I like. 🙂
Uh, but first…I might watch the NEW MOON trailer. Just one more time. One. As a sparkly (haha–it’s true!) reward.
Happy birthday, R!
Another day of crazy. Gotta write a zillion words (or my Excel sheet will continue to tell me that I will not finish RIVAL REVENGE until July 2010 (!!!). And if I don’t pick up my laundry, the cleaners will probably keep it. I’m about to have to wear BFF’s clothes that she left here the other night.
Usually, I’m very OCD about keeping things neat and clean. But empty boxes from Fresh Direct haven’t moved since Monday morning, my sink is piled with dishes and I’m ignoring cleaning. Too focused on book.
BUT
Tonight is supersparkly because it’s RA’s birthday!!! There will be amazing food, drinks and fun–we *never* have a boring night out.
So, happy birthday, Ross! *throws confetti*
