ARCs at last!!!!!! My book is real!
I have to share this part too…imagine this:
I hear someone pull up to the back of the house (our driveway goes around to the back) and I look out my window. It’s a guy in a white, unmarked van and he’s messing around with a box in the front passenger seat. I knew my ARCs should be coming soon and I started telling Victor, “I think it’s my ARCs!!!” But then the guy gets out of the van without any box at all and he walks around the van and it looks like he’s going around the end of the house and I realized he was the BC Hydro guy checking the meter (or so I thought!). I started yelling to Victor in the other room, “It’s not my ARCs. It’s the meter guy! I’m writing a letter to BC Hydro complaining about their guys messing around with boxes that look like ARCs when they’ve just come to read the meter!” And then I went back into my office. By then, Victor had come out to see what was going on and the guy was at the door. Apparently, he was just walking around the van to get the box out the passenger side, but I missed that part in my disgust! Next thing you know, Victor was signing for them! I was cutting the box open with my pocket knife before he was all the way inside the door with them! Yay!
HOW EXCITING!!!! (Yes, I am shouting.) 😀
Awesome. Go you! 🙂
Hurray! I’m so, so happy for you!
!!!! SO EXCITING!!!!
Did you cry when you opened the box? It’s wonderful isn’t it? ENJOY
okay silly question of course it is!
Woo-hooo indeed! The book looks amazing and so do you 🙂
Is it amazing holding it in your hands finally?
I’m not really that stocky…the picture has squished me somehow! My hair really does look that goofy though. Maybe I better stop cutting it myself now that I almost have a book out.
