OH MY GOD IT'S HERE!
I've been waiting for this for at least 3 months now and I can't even tell you how happy it makes me to share this with you. Are you ready? Okay, brace yourself, here's the big news:
I GOT NEW LAMPS!
Teehee, okay, that's not really the big news. (Although I DID just get new lamps and they are completely awesome.)
Here's the real big news. Yesterday a package was delivered to my door and because this news is so exciting, I'm going to refrain from complaining about my UPS delivery person, who knocks on my door like there's a fire, then drops the package and runs away. (If you're reading this, UPS delivery person, STOP DOING THAT.)
But all was forgiven (at least temporarily) when I opened the package to discover galleys of "THE EXTRAORDINARY SECRETS OF APRIL, MAY & JUNE"!
To say I was excited was an understatement. I may have even sniffled a little and gotten teary-eyed. My little Word document is now a book. They grow up so fast. Here, see for yourself!

Oh man, there are few things better than getting a copy of your new book in the mail.
So just to refresh, "AMJ" will be out next August, which I know feels like a million years away, but we all know how fast time flies. October moved so fast that I barely had time to enjoy it! And did I mention that my friends Leslie and I got to see Regina Spektor in concert last week? If you have an opportunity to see her live, go go go! She's incredible.
Also, don't forget that I have a daily music blog. I love having a daily musical diary and I'm trying to post all different kinds of music, so feel free to check it out and find some new song that you'll hopefully love.
Speaking of my music blog, I was discussing it with my wonderful brother the other night. If you've been a long-time reader, you know that my brother & I have different musical tastes, to put it mildly. Observe.
CHATTING ABOUT MUSIC: A CONTINUING SERIES
Me: I'm picking my song right now for tomorrow's music blog post.
Me: Any recs?
Brother: "When You Were Young" by the Killers
Me: Ooh, that IS a good song!
Brother: Really, I've never heard it. I just Googled the coolest band I could think of.
Me: You've never heard that song? Really?!
Brother: I probably have.
Brother: I don't know titles.
Me: Okay, I'm gonna send you a song right now, tell me if you like it.
Brother: Cool!
Me: Just listen real quick.
Brother: I like it!!
Me: Dude.
Me: I haven't sent it yet.
Brother: Oh.
Gorgeous cover. When can we know plots?!?

Be still, my flaming heart!!! This book wins at life for having an interesting title, a stunning cover and such an original plot! I bet there's quite a bit of humour in it too (deduced from reading Audrey, Wait). :p Honestly, what more could a girl wish for? Nothing really, except perhaps a copy like right now, hehe! Can't wait till August 2010, too far away!
Ahem, sorry, got slightly carried away there. Just wanted to say that Audrey, Wait is an amazing book (planning to finish it tonight!) and that I'm really excited about your new book! Like, REALLY excited! ;) Congrats on the galleys - I do hope the readers of your blog will be privy to some pictures of them! :)

This sounds like a conversation my niece and I have when we're chatting (and btw my niece an I act more like sisters...she's 13 & I'm 24).

I received 1 st loans when I was 32 and that helped my relatives a lot. But, I require the short term loan also.
