Alrighty. Sent the announcement email off to a couple krav instructors. One's a TV producer, and the other one is in charge of MTV's online community.

Now to pimp to a couple friends and some family.

We got back about an hour or so ago from B&N with the book. I have read (or reread) most of it already. SO wonderfuly written, Dol! I am ordering a copy for my mom, so she can know about all my invisible friends. Also, I got thanked AND mentioned in it, so I am feeling way incredibly cool right now. And very lucky to know such a talented writer.

Repeating Robin.

I am so very excited for Allyson! I'm glad I got to take her out for a dinner pre book, which I will now think of as the night before her celebrity started.

Busy busy busy day today... Noah is finishing his immunizations tomorrow. We got the "portable" oxgen tank and scheduled the delivery of the concentrator and the smaller over-the-shoulder oxygen. And Noah got circumcised.

Damn! Just typed and lost a post.

Let me sum up. Awesome book; I just finished it. It has so much heart, and so much vintage paperdol.

Seeing some of my first posts on my first day on the board made me blush nervously and feel like such a newbie, but reading the book made me feel so proud to be a part of the community.

One silly side note? The last paragraph on page 57 made me giggle a little. Heh.

My review? You rock.

Coffee:

And the writing rocks too. A lot. I will definitely enjoy pimping with impunity.

I sent out my pimpage and already was informed that's how one friend is spending part of her B&N gift cert.

So...Noah's having a cranky stinky day, huh? I was happy to share the news of his soon-to-be-homeness to the friend above. I can't wait for the first time you get to lie in bed and stare at him with no personel interruptions. Just a quiet moment. Well, unless he's talkative.

I haz book Í made them fetch it out of theback. I did bouunce. I amposting from matt's treo. first page,Nilly's story

I have achieved Vampire People book. Found it at the BU B&N. It was upstairs in the humor section, and not in the "New Releases" or "New Authors" section much to my annoyance (and there were only two copies when I grabbed mine).

However...when I met a couple I know for dinner, I showed the wife the book, who found it interesting and noted, "Oh yeah, I think I saw it on a table in there when I went in for a coffee at the Starbucks." Which is on the first floor. So either I missed it, or it HAD SOLD OUT FROM THE TABLE!!!

Read the first few chapters (after skipping ahead to read the ita and Nilly chapters) and I love it. The Nilly chapter made me all teary again.

In conclusion, paperdol rocks and is a kickass writer.

So what happens if "Vampire People" becomes a cultural catchphrase?

ETA - per an EW review, if it's going to be in the print version, it's not in the new issue (which was in my mailbox when I got home). Maybe it will be closer to wide release date.

If no one tells me what they're going to do, I'm not going in.

So the doc still hasn't drawn up a plan of action for you?

I'm still buzzing about the book, but won't get to read it until after the kids are in bed.
