Previously on The Secret Life of Dolls: LITTLE EDWARD'S Secret REVEALED. Bella stared at him. Then she stared at him some more. Then she said, her voice husky with fascination, "Really?" She...over onto her back, heedless of the faceful of cabinet metal she'd just eaten, and sighed dreamily, "Oh, he's so athletic." ( More from the Secret Life of Dolls ; fan community )

So: back to The Shelf. Some days you do the best you can just to keep it all afloat. Gladdy and I settled down into a hard-working routine--me trying to finish my e-book project, and her trying to unravel... Bella stared at him. Then she stared at him some more. Then she said, her voice husky with fascination, "Really?" ( More from the Secret Life of Dolls ; fan community )

Miscellany: I have tickets to Midnight Harry Potter! The Lovely Emily and I have done this for years now--maybe since Prisoner of Azkaban; certainly since Goblet of Fire, I can't remember. (I think...straight-up olive oil eventually, except that right now I don't feel like sitting around with Saran Wrap and a towel on my head. And finally: Ice Cream Deathmatch is still under way!

"But today is my birthday ," he says pitifully, lifting his tiny golden eyes to mine. "Are you--are you dazzling me?" "... Am I?" "NO!"

Hey, remember the Secret Life of Dolls? Yeah. So Bella was baking her cranky little heart out in an Edward(s)-free zone , and yet our problems were far from solved.
