Aw!  So sweet!  I know you've decided to head back to school to work on a literature/writing degree- but seriously your writing is very fluid and very reminiscent of chick-lit or romance novels (in some more MA cases ;-) You should consider piling together a manuscript of a story and see what happens.  The realization came to me at the point in this story when you hadn't revealed what Pam's note to Jim (in the folder) had said until the end- leaving the perfect set up for the next chapter- and I hadn't noticed until that point!  That, my dear, is the sign of a talented writer.

You are cruel.  Very, very cruel.  Ending the story at such a climax (TWSS).  Again, another amazing story.  It is truly my pleasure to write these little blurbs of reviews because its is truly a joy to read such beautifully written prose. You are extremely talented.

“You’re really tall…” She murmured, words a little slurred.

He laughed, propping a hand on the doorframe as he teased, “Maybe you’re just really short; did you ever think of that, Fillapelli?”

LOL!! This is a conversation I have often with people as I am very short (5'2).  However its usually them saying "you're really short", with me following up with "maybe you're just tall."  Therefore I take this as my own private shout-out ;-)
Apparently I'm not very good at remembering what stories I've read of yours, so here I am finding stories that I don't think I've read before... if I have then enjoy another set of reviews ;-)

I was just recommended this story today and I'm sorry I missed it all along.  You really, truly capture the characters perfectly.  I feel like I am reading Jim and Pam and their experiences with their first baby.  Its totally them in your story, which is amazing and wonderful.  And I think you did a fantastic job balancing their relationship with what it would be like to have a newborn baby as a first time parent. Fantastic job.

So funny!  I was laughing at the talking bobblehead.  You really know how to write them (all the characters).  This story is amazing and just perfect.

Author's Response: Aw, thanks StarryDreamer. I'm glad you had a good time reading this!! It was certainly fun to write!

Poor Toby!!  LOL  Totally didn't see that coming, but it was well worth it.  Very funny.  Great job, as always!

Author's Response: Glad I could surprise ya StarryDreamer, as always thank you so much for being such a loyal reader and responder!!! You're awesome!

Jim standing there, three familiar yellow post-it notes splayed between the fingers of his right hand. In his left hand he held a single yellow post-it note with a message written in black: Trying to tell me something?

 This quote from your story is my absolute favourite.  It seems like it something out of a romantic movie.  *sigh*  I absolutely loved this story.  Its fun, its flirty, its just utterly, unbelievably awesome.

Awww!  The end.... gah!!!  So awesome.  Great series, LoveFool, great series....

Ugh!!!!  How you destroy me!  Your stuff is so fantastic- like a great bagel: all light and fluffy and filled with goodness (yikes, sorry 'bout that, I just compared your writing to a bagel!)  But, dang girl- great stuff!!! 

Thank you for being my Jane Austen ;-)

Author's Response:

Yeah, well thank YOU for being my freaking cheerleader, coach, beta.... *bangs on keyboard* Are you listening to me, fucker?? (Why I felt compelled to add that, I'm not sure - hee.)

Seriously though -- THANK YOU.

A brilliant chapter.  You captured the turmoil of Casino Night/GWH so perfectly.  Both Jim and Pam's confusion and poor Jim's desperation to make her see, make her understand. Amazing.

Author's Response: Ah, thanks so much - it wouldn't be what it is without your input and suggestions, trust me.  Thanks for everything!

I love that you thought to have Pam keep a day book.  Her "just a kiss" entry was so perfect.  It completely fits in line with what she must have been reeling from when Karen in BF told her Jim had explained it as "just a kiss".  Great start!  Can't wait to read more!!

Author's Response:

I always think I'll write a true journal and I have at different points of my life but never keep it up.  I've started too many to count.  But something always stops me and so instead I wind up writing little phrases in my calendar like "Dinner w/so & so" or "Shopping w/Mom"  things like that.   I could totally imagine Pam doing the same.

Just a kiss my foot!  LOL!

I'm going to pretend that this utterly romantic, sweet story is a shout out to me.  Canada?  Niagara Falls? Love it!  And for the first time I actually know exactly what locations someone is referring to in their stories! LOL  Very sweet ending (even if I am a traditionalist) ;-)
