I am back from visiting my awesome sister, Sharon, and I had a great time. Very tired, Friday and Saturday were busy days so I used up most of my energy from this week and now have little left. Totally worth it though.

Friday morning we went to see Frank (Looking Glass Wars) at his offices and finally got to meet his adorable assistant Emily. She is about the sweetest girl I have ever met. Also, she has a very soothing voice so sometimes I make excuses to call so I can hear it. Anyway, had a blast with Frank as I always do. Then it was on to Disneyland. I just love that place. We had a ton of fun and then met some of my sisters friend for dinner. Very good food and the chefs knew what gluten was. It was great. I love it when restaurant chefs understand what gluten-free means.

Saturday we went to Whale of a Tale, this super cute bookstore in Irvine, and who should be signing but DJ MacHale. The same DJ that I got yelled at for driving myself to see because I thought it would be a while before I had the opportunity to meet him. Life is funny sometimes… Anyway, had a great time browsing through the store as I waited for the signing to end. Met the owner and had a lovely chat with her and DJ. He is such a wonderful person, so sweet. After the store we went to a picnic at Sharon’s friends till 2 am. It was fun but exhausting.

The entire weekend was a ton of fun and I did not wear my wig once. It was great, I did not get stared at as much as I thought. Mostly it was kids, which makes sense. The cutest was at the picnic on Sat, Sharon’s friend’s son kept staring at me and then whispered to my sister “You don’t meet very many girls who don’t have hair”. It was pretty cute. Kids are so much fun!

If anybody was staring, I am sure it was at your gorgeous eyes.

If/when you come back to work, kiddo, the wig is optional as far as I’m concerned.

It’s not what’s on the outside of your head I like, it’s what’s inside.

Disneyland is always a good idea. It’s impossible to be sad there (Sleepy, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Sneezy, Bashful, or Doc maybe . . . boy, that was a really bad joke–even for me). I was actually there on Sunday and even though it was super-crowded we still had a blast. Glad you had a great trip. Come back to Cali anytime! Hope you’re feeling okay.
