Current Events

May 3, Houston: The big one -- the Inprint reading -- occurs at the Alley Theatre on Monday, May 3. Do not miss it or you'll be sorry. I'm not kidding -- I'm going to say the craziest, most intellectual yet hilarious stuff I can think of, and I'll be sharing the stage with the ultra sexy Oscar Casares, too.

June 24, Houston: I'm one of the peeps scheduled to read at Poison Pen, at Houston's famous Poison Girl bar. Besides me, everyone there will be ultra, *super* sexy. Come see me and drink!

June 26, Washington, DC: I'll be reading at the American Library Association conference. Come on down.

My other blog: Go read my the Houston Chronicle parenting blog (or my ChronMomBlog, as I like to call it) and make sure my kids won't resent me more than other kids resent their own parents.

Buy my new novel, Lone Star Legend. Already did? Well, buy a few more for your friends, then. :)

It's YAM

Or, Yet Another Meme, stolen from vampire artist Danielaphant, along with the acronym.

5 snacks I enjoy:
1. Breyer's low carb ice cream sandwich rounds
2. Breyer's low carb Eskimo-pie-like things
3. low-carb fake chocolate bars (This is getting depressing, isn't it?)
4. sugar-free whatever
5. Mt. Olive baby dill pickles

5 things I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Buy a really nice house.
2. Start a foundation.
3. Visit Tokyo.
4. Start a really cool, freaky magazine that would make no profit.
5. Buy a bunch of art.

5 bad habits:
1. Cursing.
2. Shit-talking.
3. Interrupting others.
4. Talking too loud.
5. Throwing the finger at other drivers, even if they're Texas State Troopers who subsequently give me tickets, oops.

5 things I like doing:
1. Singing in my car alone.
2. Reading cheesy magazines.
3. Buying beads and other small, pretty things.
4. Forcing my children to watch old movies with me.
5. Grocery shopping with my boyfriend.

5 things I would never wear, buy or get new again:
1. High, pointy heels.
2. Pantyhose that weren't at least 2 sizes too big.
3. Skirts above the knee.
4. Shoes with slippery bottoms.
5. Any top with which I couldn't wear a bra.

5 favorite toys:
1. These little Lego-esque people - a princess and a cowboy - I stole from my kids.
2. A little sand-filled satin frog I stole from my kids.
3. A paddle with a hanging wooden egg, the swinging of which makes this little wooden chicken peck on the paddle. (I stole it from my kids.)
4. My Chinese Fashions coloring book.
5. My kids' collection of luchador masks, which they never play with and which I will therefore steal.

I love the Chinese coloring book. I borrowed it from you and used it on my blog too.

What are lunchador masks?
Isnt stealing the kids toys the BEST? I do it too! often! and put them all around the computer monitor. At work too!! So much so that a coworker bought me this cute pink beanie baby bunny that must be 21/2 inches long and now THAT is my new fave toy on top of my monitor.

Correction. I borrowed your blog, not your Chinese coloring book! :)

OK, Enough! I mean I borrowed your meme. Does anyone have any coffee? My goodness! It's early for me still. I will leave you alone now...
