Get Ready...Here I Come
It's a new year; so I figured now would be the perfect time to launch my new website! My blog will be going away in the next week, but all my information (and a ton of other cool stuff) will be available on the website.
We're also working on the audio version of Home is Where Your Boots Are for those of you that would rather listen and These Boots Are Made for Butt-Kickin' is coming right along.

Where You will find Home is Where Your Boots Are
1. Edie's Fashions in Tahlequah, OK. Go visit Connie! She'll sell you a book and deck you out in THE most original attire. We heart Connie and the girls at Edie's!!!
2. Steve's Sundry in Tulsa, OK at 26th and Harvard. As a book lover and purveyor of a LOT of bookstores; this is, by far, my favorite!! They have everything literary imaginable. If they don't they will track it down. I go here to purchase my Spanish and Italian Vogues to practice my language skills.
3. Lulu's Bake Shoppe in Tulsa, OK at the Plaza on 81st and Lewis. Her food is sublime. No other words for it (and I've read the dictionary). Go on Wednesdays, and you can get the book and her goat cheese and black bean enchiladas!!!
4. Lulu.com. This is straight from the publisher. They are fast, easy and a great way to get your copy if you're not from Tulsa or Tahlequah.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Everywhere I go, I see signs of the holiday season. Those that have the "ho-ho spirit" rejoice in the details of Christmas-time. Those that don't; well, you're all Grinches, Scrooges and Bah-humbuggers and you can just get over yourself. As I write These Boots Are Made for Butt-Kickin', I get distracted by a holiday adventure I'm writing about Miss Lilly and her cast of characters. I thought I'd take the time to list my favorite things about this special season that will, no doubt, make it into the someday Christmas volume of The Misadventures of Miss Lilly.
1. The hot chocolate from Starbucks that tasted like a chocolate covered pretzel. Holla.
2. Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation. My family always has the hap, hap, happiest holidays since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny frickin' Kaye. Or else my mom starts throwing food, and that gets real ugly real fast.
3. That I can decorate anything and everything as craptacularly as I dang well please. As long as it comes down after January 1.
4. The look of wonderment on my soon-to-be nephew's faces when discussing Christmas.
5. The ring of candy cane juice around the youngest one's mouth as he's listening to Christmas stories.
6. My ultra-cheesy fiance gets even ultra-cheesier.
7. Making really ugly Christmas cookies.
8. Deciding they're too ugly to give away and keeping for oneself.
9. My family sitting around, listening to my medical-field cousins tell horrific stories.
10. My family, sitting around, together.
Happy Holidays Y'all! I'm sure I'll get mushier as the days roll on, so get ready!!!

Where I Come From
Things I did yesterday:
1. Stressed about the book signing being perfect
2. Hot-rolled my hair, did my nails and put on silly leather pants
3. Got to Tahlequah and realized I should take a page out of my own book. No one cares. No one is impressed if my hair is fixed (they're used to it not being fixed). No one notices if my nails are done and my silly leather pants were, while cute, not important.
Because in Tahlequah, people value you for what you are and what you do; not what you wear or what you look like. You should all be so lucky as to get to grow up in a place like that.
