Okay, let's be quick about this. I haven't got much time. Mr. Poppins and Secret Lulu are on a mission to Lowe's and I have the entire house to myself. Except for Flounder Fish and Catrina Cricket (who's really a grasshopper, but we play fast and loose with those things around here).
Anyway. I'm flying as solo as I get and I just want to wish you all a happy holiday and let you know that if you come over to my house tonight to watch the fireworks--you know we can see them from our backyard--then you can have your pick of glowstick bracelets. I bought a lifetime supply at Target. Seriously. I am the proud owner of over 200 glow-bracelets.
I'm not sure that's really enough.
I've been super-duper busy lately. You know, writing my book. And it's coming along. Just ask The Dol, who's been kind enough to post over here so that you won't have to go weeks at a time without a fresh post and remove me from your rss feed and make me cry and all that. Also, many thanks to Lloyd (who promised to be more interesting next time, so I'm wondering when he's going to to do that), Pandora, Alice, and Diosa. And The Model, who had good intentions, and Bookgirl, who can't be rushed into these things.
I have high hopes that Skipper will take some time out of his busy schedule to parody me. He can do that here. I encourage it. Which reminds me: did you know that Skipper didn't even have my cell phone number in his cell phone. He says he'll correct the situation and I sure hopes he does because I am devestated.
D E V A S T A T E D.
Whatever.
I'll console myself with the fact that I am flying JetBlue, non-stop to New England to go to my darling cousin's wedding and dance with the groom and best man and have drinks with Bookgirl and Diosa, and that stuff I told you before about being spoiled by my mom.
But that's later. Right now, Mr. Poppins and Secret Lulu are back. I apologize. This post would have been longer but I dinked around on facebook and twitter for a while first.
glow sticks make my nights!
maybe i should have a rave for a reception?
body paint and everything.
just no drugs.
this will be a sober rave.
well, semi-sober.
an alcohol only rave.
i can already picture it....

I lit up over twenty glow-sticks last night. I am that kind of mom. Secret Lulu and her little friend Sweetheart were glowing from every limb, in every color, just dazzling us with their pure voodoo coolness.

I am excited about your book and your trip, but I do miss a good daily Polly post.
