Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who told me what movie my quote was from. I knew it had to be from a movie I loved, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered it that well. I went through a period where I watched When Harry Met Sally incessantly. I love Billy Crystal and I really like Meg Ryan's character in that movie. To some people, I may be considered a slightly picky eater (just a little) so the way she orders food in the movie strikes a chord with me. I really hate it when foods touch on the plate. Yes, I know it's weird. I can't help it. I don't even like it when things that most people eat together (like turkey and mashed potatos) touch. If I had my way, food would always be served on those divided plates that you use at picnics -- you know the ones that little kids eat off of?
Okay, on to other things...
-we're up to 25 people for the party, yea!!!
-my thanks to Ed for making the picture thing work on yesterday's blog entry! Turns out technology is not even a casual acquaintance for me.
-Meg Cabot has a blog entry today that gives an excerpt from her upcoming novel. It's one from the Mediator series, which, even though it's written for teens, I love it. Susannah is a mediator for ghosts trapped between this world and the next. They're fun books!
-My publisher tells me that they hope to see a proof of The Silver Spoon on Friday and that the book should start appearing on Amazon.com sometime in the very near future! Also, just so you all know...the order page will not appear on RuneStone's site until the release date or the day before. So, no pre-ordering through that site, at least this time around. But you should be able to pre-order through Amazon (I think) though it is more expensive to buy the book from Amazon.
And finally, the Big Secret Surprise...
This weekend, I'll be posting the details of a contest with a very cool (in my opinion, anyway) prize. In fact, I'm having a hard time keeping myself from announcing it right now! The winner of the contest will be announced on August 15, along with the posting of the third chapter of The Silver Spoon (barring any spats with technology). So, stay tuned!!!
Talk to you tomorrow!
