Say hi!

Posted in Uncategorized on 10/29/2009 09:18 am by jess

kid saying hi

If you’re reading this post, chances are, you’ve just visited my website for the first time.  And chances are (well, okay, to be certain)–I’d love to hear from you.

Crack a smile!  Stay a while!  Leave a comment.  Enjoy the ramblings up to this point, and try to get “What’s the Name of that Song?” out of your head. (Scroll down.  When you see Sesame Street, you’re one click away.)

I hope you’ll come back!  There may be contest announcements, book recommendations, writing ruminations, and perhaps even some interviews with writers.  I will also try to make good on the motto I created, “Occasional love songs to pickles or cake.”

If you would like to nominate a cake or pickle worthy of a love song, you can do so in the comments.  Or you can just say Hi.

Hi!  Thanks for stopping by!

    Jessica,

    Your website is cute, and sweet, and adorable, and fun, and and and…my kids and I loved your baby picture. That takes the cake! And eats, too! And gets some frosting on its nose!

    Best of luck! Can’t wait to read NICE AND MEAN!

    Jess,

    We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE (insert more superlatives here) your website!! We laughed out loud at so many of your stories and pictures. Though it still irritates us when our students doodle in class, we’re sure glad that you did!

    Congrats!!

    Your web site is cute! I love the word “marvy” too. Used it all the time back in high school.
