WHAT THE SPELL? on "Glee" and a wedding cake fit for an author...

by Brittany Geragotelis

I know this is a few weeks late, but I've been a little caught up with the whole "getting married and going on my honeymoon" thing, so I hope you'll forgive me for leaving you hanging. And as a thank you for your patience, here are a few goodies for you!

First off, although WHAT THE SPELL didn't turn out to have as big of a storyline as I'd thought it might, fans were still able to catch a quick glimpse of my book in the hands of Tina Chang on "Glee's" Guilty Pleasures episode. I can't describe how cool it was to see WTS on one of my favorite shows...well, you can imagine I'm sure. And in case you didn't catch it the first time around, here's a screen capture of the scene!

Second, if that wasn't already awesome enough, I just had the most FABULOUS time at my wedding! I don't want to brag, but people said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to...and I can't wait to show you all the pics! But for now, I'll just give you a teaser.

Of ALL the cool things we had at our wedding, one of my favorites was our cake. It was a stack of horror books, with monsters surrounding it and action figures of my husband Matt (I know, husband, can you believe it?!) and I on the top. Cake topper me was even holding a scythe from the last season of Buffy....how awesome is that?!?! Anyways, it was the perfect dessert for a novelist I'd say.

So, what do you think? Two amazing pics....which is your fave?

Going under the knife

by Brittany Geragotelis

So, this past week was not an easy one in the Geragotelis household...

First off, after suffering from some tooth aches, I finally sucked it up and went to the dentist. If you know me, than you know I'm terrified of the dentist. And I'm embarrassed to admit it, but it had been 3 years since I'd been to the dentist, all because I get so freaked out. We're talking panic attacks just having them clean my teeth. Anyway, the pain got bad enough that I ended up going...and had to get a few cavities filled and two wisdom teeth out.

So, last Wednesday, I went in, they knocked me out and took out my wisdom teeth. Now, one of the teeth, you couldn't have noticed anything had been done. There was no pain, no swelling, no nothing. The other? Oh man....it was awful. So much pain. My cheek more than doubled in size and it was rock hard. I ended up being really nauseous and was throwing up the first two days, possibly because of the pain killers, so I stopped taking them and switched over to advil and tylenol. I can barely open my mouth wide enough to fit a spoon in there, so for about four days, all I could eat was liquids. Ugh, it was miserable.

But that's not all.

The day after I had my wisdom teeth out, we had to bring our kitty, Cohen, in for surgery. He had a calcium stone in his bladder and they had to go in and take it out. While in there, the doctors found more stones in his urethra, and had to try and get those out, too. So, when we got to take Cohen home on Saturday, his poor little belly was shaved and he has a long line of stitches across his stomach. And he was peeing blood. This was apparently normal, since all the surgery took place in his bladder. But still, it's hard to see someone you love in pain.

He seems to be doing better now, though. Resting, relaxing, running around. And i think I'm finally on the mend, too. So, here's hoping that the worst is over. I hope that everyone else is in good health!

Poor Cohen had to have his belly shaved for his surgery

Cohen's bloodbruise looks like a kiss on his belly!

My kitty was a bit mangy when he first got home from the hospital....

...But he's still so cute!

Ick! Chipmunk cheeks! Cant wait to eat solid foods again!

The two of us recovering. We'll be back on our feet again soon!
