Consider yourself invited to join in the following fun (which you can always check on the SIGHTINGS tab, right up there in the middle, yeah, right there): Yesterday, where was I? At the optometrist’s office, having my retina checked. Because possibly I’m a hypochondriac. Here’s the story: At my last visit, he said, Hey, lady, you have dreadfully strong contacts prescriptions. You should be very alert for the following symptom: if by chance you ever see some weird fluidy floating, light-flashing ripples... Okay, so the calendar is getting the better of me (also, it’s snowing, so I can be forgiven for thinking it’s maybe still February, right?) but I wanted to tell you this: I did a fun event this weekend – at the lovely Purple Cow bookshop.

Thanks, Isa, for having me! *Sigh*... So come, and shop, and visit! I’ll be at the Fort Union Deseret Book this Saturday (tomorrow, people) from 12:00 until 2:00. They have a bakery. Yes. Books and breads. You’re welcome. Also, I will be joined by Mr. John Bytheway from noon till 2, and Mr. James Dashner and Mr. Jeff/Scott Savage at 1:00. In case you’re... Are you Christmas shopping in Utah? Come see me! I’ll be at the Orem University Village Deseret Book (that’s by University Mall) on Friday December 11th with the lovely Ally Condie and Lisa Mangum from 6:00 until 8:00. After 8:00 we’ll be going out to dinner, and you’re welcome to join us. But. Only. If you... Hey, Y’all in Utah County! I have a little event in Orem tomorrow. I’ll be at the new Deseret Book (by Five Guys Burgers and Fries, just north of University Mall) from 1:00-3:00. I have good, good news to share with anyone who comes… |
