From San Jose to San Marino and Beyond!!!

In order to take full advantage of our Time Machine, which we shall refer to as OTM, let's go back to San Jose . . .



Not only did we have fun Hiding at Hicklebee's bookstore, but we also went to the San Jose Farmer's Market. We have one of our own at home, but it's nice to check out what the other farmers are up to (and to eat giant burritos) . . .

(The socks weren't grown by local farmers. The San Jose Flea Market/Farmers Market sells all kinds of things.)

Hey, that was fun! Now, let's get back into OTM and transport ourselves to the San Marino Toy and Book Shoppe near our house . . .

Although we aren't able to make it to the South Pasadena Moon Festival this Sunday, we were there last year when BOBBY THE BRAVE (SOMETIMES) illustrator/neighbor/friend Dan Santat and Moi were given our own booth. It even included a kid reading a book . . .


(Above, OTM goes back a year for photos)

However, even though I won't be there, my books will be!!! Yes, Peepy and I signed books that will be for sale at the festival . . .

Peepy was exhausted after writing her name so many times . . .

Laptop Love

As some of you know, I have a Love/Hate relationship with my computer.

I LOVE it. It doesn't love me . . .

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

(Yes, I accidentally deleted ALL the spaces in an ENTIRE novel, and replaced them with the word "long." And then hit SAVE.)

However, that hasn't stopped me from wanting the best for my MacBook Pro, especially since I've accidentally really, really, hurt my Macs in the past.

Recently, I set out to find the perfect cover for it. I tried lots of different kinds . . .

Alas, nothing was good enough for my laptop. That is, until Alison Morris, who works for Scholastic, and used to blog for Shelftalker alerted me to something rather special. So I sent away for it . . .

A book? Yes . . . but not just any book . . .
