The Moment of Truth
Joelle said around lunch time on October 8, 2007
So… it’s here! I just opened up this box with Kathy on the phone and the book exists in the form of… well, a real book and not just a bunch of Word documents full of chicken scratch.
I’m trying to get work done today and not get distracted by it, but it’s so shiny! (No, really, it is. The silhouette and the title are embossed and glossy and everything else is matte.)
I’m very excited. I am very, very excited.

Congratulations! I looked for it just an hour ago at Borders and Barnes & Noble. Nothing there yet. I settled for The Country Cooking of France by Anne Willan. Good luck with the book, I’m excited for you.

Many congrats to you both. You give this wannabe designer some hope that I can remember how to do rollovers in Image Ready in no time (nothing like forgetting while under the wire at work).
Just got my email from Barnes & Noble that it’s going to ship tomorrow. Yay! Again, congrats to you and Kathy!
Congratulations!!! I’m thrilled for you! I think you should have an online book signing party.

Congratulations, Joelle! There is nothing quite like the feeling of opening a box and seeing YOUR NAME on the cover, is there?? Enjoy the rush!
