Hey! It's Meri. Okay, Okay. Katie says hi, too. She is obnoxiously hanging over my shoulder reading every word I type. So annoying, right? Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I had tons of fun on my birthday. I didn't get to eat any birthday cake though. Nat tried to light my candles, and, well, burned a hole in the table. Geez.
I got some great stuff. By great stuff, I mean money. I see a shopping trip to that little clothing boutique we found. I think Jess mentioned it in Book 1. Btw, Katie just said that I should write, "money, dummy." She meant "money, honey." Shaking my head at that one.
Ohmygod. So, are you as excited as I am for Book 2. Can't wait. Biting my nails over here. There are some great new characters and an exciting new adventure in store for you. I can't say much yet. I promise I will be around to give you some scoop. Maybe even a sneak peek, or we'll see. I know Jess has so much in store for you.
All right. Katie is yelling at me to announce the winners for the giveaway. Thanks to everyone who entered. It was exciting. Many people won multiple prizes. I think everyone who entered won something. How cool is that!
And the Winners are...

Happy Birthday, Meri! Giveaway
Today is Meridienne Drake's birthday, June 21. YAY! Happy Birthday, Meri!
To celebrate Meridienne's birthday, instead of her getting presents, Meridienne wanted to give some away.
Doctor results and update
Sorry for not posting this week. I've been busy with life stuff and, of course, editing Book 2.
For those who have been following me on Twitter and Facebook, you know I have been having some medical issues over the past few months. I am overwhelmed by the love and support you have offered me. It means a lot. Many of you, I know, have no idea what was going on with me and offered prayers and love. Thank You so much. Now, I will tell you.

Sandra drops by for a spot of tea
‘ello, loves. I am 'aving some Black tea as I write this to yous. What are yous drinking?
Jess asked me to stop by today and talk to
yous. I was only too ‘appy to do it. Yous see she and Meri are off trying to get Book 2 out for the lot of yous. For
those of yous who don’t know me, I work for the Drakes.
I’m from a little city just outside of Liverpool, which is
part of England. Yous may ‘ave ‘eard of that city if yous are a fan of the
Beatles. They came from me parts. Me father was a Draco Protector and a friend
of Mr. Emery Drake. When ‘e died, ‘e left a lot of debt for me mum. We
struggled to get by until Mr. Drake offered me to come look after ‘is two young
tykes.
England is such a brilliant country and ‘as many different
dialects, just as the United States ‘as a Southern accent, Brooklyn accent,
Boston accent, etc. Me accent is known as Scouse, which make me a Scouser.
Please do not mistake me as a Scot or Irish, just as you wouldn’t call
either of them English. Obviously, I’ve been living in the States for over
twenty years now and ‘ave adapted some things, but clearly I don’t speak like
most Americans.
Thundering Thursday (A Day in My Life)
Yesterday, I looked at the time. It was 5:10pm. Better get dinner started. I was going to make Curried Chicken, which takes about an hour to cook in the oven and half an hour to prepare. Hubby gets home at 6:45pm, and I like having dinner ready when he gets home because it's late enough as it is.
Then, I remembered he got off a little early today to help his buddy. So, I called him on my from Cassiopeia (what we named our office) to the kitchen.
"Hey, babe, on your way home?" I glanced out the window that viewed the backyard as I walked past.
