Marcy Very Much at the LA Times Festival of Books …
Cynthia is supposed to be Spring Cleaning. Instead, she is Spring Stalling by wearing a soon to be (hopefully but probably not) decluttered cowboy hat and practicing her old Spice Girls dance routine throughout the apartment.
Cynthia: “So I’ll tell you what I want what I really really” … ACKKKKKKK!

The entire living room is covered in inky cat pawprints. The couch, the walls, the table. Even the ceiling somehow.
Marcy: What? I’m practicing my pawtograph for the LA Times Festival of Books.

Cynthia (whimpering): All over … the house?
Marcy: What? You haven’t spring cleaned yet.
Cynthia: I was … rehearsing.
penelope kitten (squeaking): me too.
Penelope Kitten runs into frame wearing her new Barbie inspired bubble gum pink overalls and carrying a large boombox.

Come by to say “Hi” and/or “Meow”
We’ll have our Dear Marcy book, “HellNo Kitty” and Black Cat Book Bags, Cat Friendship Bracelets, and Ears. ‘Cause what’s festival without Cat Ears and Cat Snark? Amirite?

I refuse to be square, therefore I will attend. I might even clone myself so I can see everything that’s going on. Can’t wait!
Excellent choice!
