Okay. So last blog, Peepy and I had pulled practically an all-nighter to finish our chapter book, BOBBY VS. GIRLS (ACCIDENTALLY) . . . 

(I actually did the writing, and Dan Santat did the illustrations, but Peeps claims that everything was her idea.)

How did we celebrate? Why with Dot's Cupcakes, what else . . .

Later, it was time to do all those exciting and glamorous things authors do when they are not writing. Like laundry, paying bills, and this . . .

Um, that's Peepy at the grocery store. The dog poster scared her, so she tried to hide from him . . .
    

Then it was time to go home . . .

. . . where we prepped for out teaching gig at the Santa Monica Public Library this Wednesday. The last time we were there, we were onstage with the Fonz . . .
 

This time, we'll be teaching and talking writing with teens as part of . . .
Inspire Me! A Teen Writers' Workshop
An intensive workshop where teens meet with local writers, develop their creative writing skills, and get a chance to publish their pieces in a Teen Zine. Authors include Sonya Sones, Lisa Yee , Robin Benway, and Ron Koertge. . 

Hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day! Peeps and I watched our hometown parade . . .

BTW, even though we have been known to eat non-healthy desserts, here's what I did not eat for 4th of July, courtesy of the website "This is why you're fat . . . where dreams become heart attacks."
