Pardon my dust…

*cough cough*

SORRY.

*waves dust away*

HYPOTHESIS: Milk freezes faster than tears of frustration.

I’m right in the middle of a website overhaul, so things are a little bit messy around here. I only have time to do things piecemeal because this winter has been jam-packed full of other stuff, such as tooth-gnashing over the second-grade science fair, writing book #3, crying every time it snows again, and finally watching the last three seasons of The Office and shouting WHAT DID THEY DO TO ANDY BERNARD into my argyle sock drawer. Also, I know nothing about overhauling a website, so every five minutes I have to stop and Google things.

“HOW DO I MAKE THE POST BACKGROUND OPAQUE?”

“Add this custom CSS.”

“YAY THANKS!”

…

“HOW DO I ADD CUSTOM CSS and also what is CSS just kidding I know what it is but not really so just whisper in my ear real quick and I’ll pretend you said something funny, okay?”

Anyway, I’m hoping to wrap all this up next month sometime. Until then, if you click something and the link dead-ends, please check back later (or just yell at me, because I’m awful at saying no to squeaky wheels). When the site’s all refreshed, I’m hoping to blog more regularly (the little pessimist who lives in my gut just kicked me really hard and snickered, but I’m not listening to her anymore), and finally figure out Createspace so I can get How to Repair a Mechanical Heart and We Won’t Feel a Thing out in paperback. I’m going to BEA for the first time this year and my goal is to have at least one paperback out before then. (Are you going? Let me know–I’m psyched to meet up with other YA authors!)

Talk to you soon. In the meantime, I offer this image from Volume 5 of the Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery and leave you to ponder how the 1970s could turn even a modest dessert table into a culinary freakshow. *toasts you with snifters of Heavenly Hash*

You just know this person has pink toilet paper in her avocado bathroom.
