Fun Facts About the Author
As a little girl on the family farm, I used to gather rocks from the garden mistaking them for potatoes. I placed them on the kitchen counter by the sink and told my mother to fix them for dinner. Thankfully, she ignored me.

Unpublished Fun Facts
1. My fave snack is macadamia nuts. I wish Mom would plant a macadamia tree in our yard. She says they make dogs sick. I'm not a dog. 

2. My fave storyteller ever is Grandma Hiddleman, especially when she tries to make scary faces while reading about witches or vampires.

3. I get headaches after receiving a major psychic impression. After I tell Mom about it or describe the scene in my tDiary, the headache goes away.

4. I have a crush on Tommy's older brother, Drake. He's 17 and so astro hot. 

5. I want a Victoria's Secret bikini to wear at the beach this summer. Maybe Drake would notice me. Unfortunately, I don't quite have all the parts to fit right in a Victoria's Secret bikini. Jackie tells me push ups would help. I don't know if she means the exercises or the padding.
Leap Year Day My Way
2/28/2028

Dear tDiary,

I wonder what I'll do tomorrow with my extra Leap Year Day. It will be a Tuesday, so I'll have to go to school unless . . .  

Valentine's Day Afterward
2/20/2029

Dear tDiary,

What happens to the love after Valentine's Day?

On Valentine's Day, Mom and Dad go out to dinner unless Dad's on a SEAL mission. Mom gets roses and chocolate unless she's on a diet. Jackie, my big sister, sometimes gets Valentine's Day cards but she hides them in her dresser and I find them --accidentally, of course-when I sneak into her room to wear her clothes while she's at sports camp or away for the weekend.

Then, it stops.
