I am very excited to see you on Saturday! And for your giveaway!

I'm hoping to make it on Saturday...let's cross our fingers!!!

Sounds like quite the Spring Break! Although, I don't feel very comfortable wishing a major illness on you just so you can read.

I wish I could come this week...why couldn't you do it the next when I am up there? It IS all about me, after all.

I was totally planning on asking you when this UTAH blog party was...and then you answered my question:)
Hope I can make it---I'll try and bring Anthony with me!

I hope your husband and the Big Guy are feeling better. Sounds like a good way to pass Spring Break if you ask me (anytime chocolate is involved, ya know). Can't wait until Thursday!

Kristina--can't wait for the Mexican food--yum! Shelle--I'm totally crossing my fingers, even if they turn blue and fall off! Lara--it IS--it IS all about you! I can't tell you how devastated I am by this quirk of fate! Barb--I can totally tell you're my kind of gal. (Don't bother to show up without him, ya hear?) Becky--now that I've said how great it is, I'm paranoid everyone will hate it. Such is life.

HOORAY! No picture wreathed in flames as yet!

I'm 100% with you on the Anthony Andrews. I think I'd BE a pony if I got to meet him!

best of luck with your Tuesday writing! I am still working on the M.O.T.H. trying to get away this weekend - April, Shelle, carpool anyone?

Whooo hooo - I have had several offers for a ride SO I AM COMING. It will be so fun to meet you --I should bring my book and have you sign it eh.

Yet another reason I lived closer to the Provo/Orem area. Have a wonderful trip!

Your big guy and husband provide your life with endless excitement!

I won't wish an illness on you, but I do hope you somehow find or make the time to get some reading in. Reading is the best vacation!

Good luck with the the writing!!! :)

and

Have a great trip!!!!

Laura--we could be ponies together. T--I think Shelle is flying . . . talk about a fan! (No, she's in town for a wedding) (I think) (could be someone else) Wendy-but of course! Bring it! Erin--I'll so miss you! Heatherlyn--no doubt! I'm never bored. I do adore reading, I've read literally thousands of books, some of them more than twice, but I am too busy reading blogs to read books. IT's a sad state of affairs.

Sabrina--sank you! And I still have to mail your book before I go! Ack!

Can't believe how quickly that trip to Utah is coming up - wow!

Yeah Heidi! Okay, so your guest bloggers were fab. But I have to say I missed you! Really, I did! Can't wait to meet you on Saturday!

Ummm, I thought my Spring Break was bad with all of my kids home and going nutso, but I have to say, yours sounds worse. I need a moment of silence while I cry for you.

(weeping)

Okay, I'm better.

YAY! Can't wait to meet you!! WHOoPeEeE! (I'm excited, can you tell?!)

Heidi-I spent nearly all afternoon Saturday AND my post church nap time finishing Miss D.

The lisp killed me! You are so very clever.

P.S. I plan to try to make "Nodcock" my new signature word. So funny!

Sounds like as busy as this past week was, this coming week will be even busier. I hope you have a great time in Utah. I am sorry I will miss you by a week. And about getting an illness so you have to stay in bed. I think about that a lot! I don't want to be in bed for a year, but maybe a week. Guilt free reading! Hooray for that!

Kim--for you, too, eh? Julie & Melinda, can't wait to meet you, too (and Kim)! Sue--love it! Thank you! What an honor, to read Miss D instead of your nap--wow! Joy--yep, but it would have to be an illness that didn't make it hard to read. . . .hmmm. . .. I should work on that, huh?

I am hoping to make it out to the Pleasant Grove thing too, but it is iffy. I would to meet some other bloggers and get some girl time!

Good luck on your writing, and happy anniversary, Dunhaven!

Hey, good luck with your words. Not being a writer, 30,000 words seems ridiculously intimidating!

Have fun in Utah. I never considered blogging when we were deciding whether to move to Utah Valley or Boise. Now I feel left out!

Kazzy--please don't feel obligated or anything! But, I'm sure anyone who is there will be thrilled to meet you if you come. Mina--we'll miss you! If I could find my movie camera, I could promise video.

So excited for you to have some fun. Bloggers are just the best. I know you all will have some much fun and I look forward to the pictures.

Good luck with that the loose ends as well.

I is too bad I will miss you by a few days, as I am going back to Utah next Wednesday for Women's Conference. probably, maybe, most likely

Sounds like fun! I'm just getting ready to put my monkeys to bed and curl up with Miss D right now. She came on Friday and I haven't had a spare moment to start!

Man....I wish I lived in Utah! I'm sure you are going to NEED to do a book signing in Alabama soon!

Your week sounds like one of mine. I hope you can get some rest soon. Maybe just a "slightly" sprained ankle that looks much worse than it feels could buy you a week on the couch to read....just a thought!

Have a wonderful week~
♥,Lilly

Pat--I am overwhelmed by the number of near misses! Bummer! I will miss you! Fiona--music to my ears! How totally fun! (for me, at least, and I hope for you, too!) Lilly-I think a sprained ankle sounds good! AND a sprained wrist so I can't blog. That'll do nicely.

Thanks for the shout out and good luck on your writing today. I didn't write yesterday for the first time in a long time, which meant that I didn't earn a piece of my special See's writing chocolate. But now I really want chocolate so I guess I better write today. Sigh.

Have fun in Utah. I am more than a little jealous.

Oh no...some not very good at all stuff happened. Sorry!

And I too have stacks of books I'm ignoring. Everywhere! I miss them, but for some odd reason I just leave them sitting there. blech.

Happy writing day! Good luck!

You always have a lot going on! Good luck on your writing and events!

Well, it doesn't sound like the ideal vacation, but was it nice to have lots of time with the kids at home? I loved the guest posts, by the way, but I will admit I missed your sense of humor!

Oooh, good luck. (Did I already say that?) And have so much fun and take so many pics of you with EVERYONE!

Busy Lady! How do you do it all?

The turn of events you describe is like right out of a movie (a comedy, of course!) I honestly don't know how you live like that from day to day...maybe it's being able to laugh about it. You are one strong lady.

I LOVE:
Melanie J
Sir Anthony AND his namesake!
The Scarlet Pimpernel (book, play and movie...all three)
and that video of Mr. Swivel Hips!

(If it makes you feel any better, my best friend in third grade wouldn't talk to me for a week because she said I RUINED our Hawaiian hula-dance in the school program by wiggling my hips too much!)

Looking forward to Saturday...
