I've found scores of things to admire about you, Laura, but that outfit—was it for the wedding in LA?—takes the cake. I, too, was recently at a wedding in LA, where I froze my ass off in my fancy dress, and had to step out of my heels and into my Birkenstocks even before the ceremony. Kudos to you for keeping it all together (assuming you did). xo

As one of the privileged people on this planet who was a student of yours (Personal Essay, Writers in Paradise), I’ve only had one other writing teacher in my life give me such insightful and precise instruction. Thank you and good luck/congratulations to each of your future students.

Ok, Tuscany is cool, but my favorite part is the lifelong camp friend. I have a few of those, too. Happiest summers of my life.

It's truly impressive how you managed to find a dress that brings out your bold personality so vividly, almost as if it were designed specifically to ensure no one else in the room gets noticed.

What a gorgeous dress! The color, the roses, blond hair, and pretty outside and in.

I keep a picture of this very system saved on my desktop and even if the post-its don't always help me, the origin story of how I got the picture does. Every time.

Also, the pet store in the trailer managed to freak me out all over again.

You're getting funnier in your old age. I assume you know about Janny.

If you’re not going to drop the author name I’m just going to decide it’s Ann M Martin and the babysitters club is coming BACK BABY

Loved the book and my imagination ran completely different from how the series appears. Can't wait.

Wish I had an occasion to wear that dress! Fab.
