Well, it was a LONG tour. But a FANGtastic one! I met so many amazing Minions, reconnected with some, and really just enjoyed myself more than humanly possible. Then yesterday, I came home. And I am so unbelievably happy to be here! My wonderful family met me at the airport with a bottle of Dom Perignon, a bouquet of ballons (one of which was a giant #5), and a copy of my book (media escorts often do this so an author recognizes who they’re supposed to go with, so it was really funny). After lots of tears and hugs and kisses and joy, we grabbed something to eat and headed home, so I could love on my kitty Amenti, who wasn’t the least bit happy that I abandoned her for two whole weeks (but no worries, all is forgiven now – it’s amazing what some petting and kitty treats can do).

And that’s when I noticed my desk was missing.

After I asked where the heck it ws, my family said they moved it downstairs into the creepy basement for me. Great! I was all sorts of prepared to go to work down there and last was the last step. Good family.

They insisted I go down and take a look, and what did I find? My amazing, incredible family (along with Jacob’s best friend, Zy) had completely refinished the creepy office space! No more stud walls or bare ceiling! They drywalled it and painted it (black ceiling, dark gray walls, red trim, black doors) and set it all up for me!!! I CRIED! Like hardcore. It as the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I have an office. A real live, actual office. All because of my amazing family.

Excuse the crappy phone pics, but here’s a glimpse:

And the pics soooooo don’t do it justice. The ceiling light has been painted to look like spiderwebs. I have a kick butt stereo that my iphone will plug into, and so much room. My own space. It’s incredible. I can’t believe they pulled this off so quickly!

It’s good to be home. But the fun’s not over yet! Check out my Appearances page, St. Louis/St. Charles Minions! Because you still have THREE more stops coming up!!
