In Which I Faint With Joy

Yesterday was novel writing day. Only, it wasn’t. Remember The Spouse and why I don’t blog much about him? (You don't? If I could just remember the name of that post, I could actually find it and link to it. Alas . . .) Well, it was his birthday so I decided to take the day off of writing (which is why I took the day off of blogging) to clean the house as a gift to him since he has already purchased, opened and played with his official birthday gift.

(Guitar Hero World Tour for wii.)

(Which is on the fritz).

I only got as far as our bedroom. Sadly, that’s where I started. Heh. Clean your room much, Heidi? Sad, sad, sad.

So, I took the day off of blogging to clean my room and cook dinner for the Spouse. Only, I didn’t even do that b/c I pinched a nerve using that darn ol’ Wii Fit (back when Mr. Hal Wii Fit wasn’t on the fritz) and after a day of dusting, cleaning, organizing and vacuuming (did I mention---just one room?!?!) that nerve was screaming so loud even my husband could hear it. And it was saying “Go out and get your own birthday dinner!”

Which he did.

And it made him sick.

He spent the evening becoming too well acquainted with what we affectionately call "The Necessary". I took the day off of blogging for that? Sad, sad, sad.

One thing and one thing alone pulled me through this tragic series of events and it was the knowledge that each one of you who blogged about Miss D, who put her picture in your sidebar, who purchased a book or requested one be purchased by a library near you, (or Both or All or Any Combination Thereof) are responsible for the fact that yesterday morning . . .

I got the amazing news . . .

that Miss D has sold out her first print run.

We are talking 2,100 books, here.

TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A book written by an unknown author!

Sold out!!

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And, did I mention, thank you all so very, very much? I didn’t? Well, . .)

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And did I mention that if you haven’t yet procured your own copy, should you desire to do so, a fresh batch is being prepared as we speak? I didn’t? Well, it is . . . )

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(You guys are the best and I wish I could give each of you a million dollars.) (Or, at least, a really, really, really big hug! Swak! Love you! Oh, and did you check out Jeeves today? It’s a real winner.)
