Day 6...and counting

A few weeks ago my friend Jennifer Lynn Barnes did a really cool thing to count down to the launch of her newest book, Platinum.

It was a sort of 12-days-of-Christmas thing.

And I am now going to steal it.

So without further ado:



SIX THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME REALLY, REALLY GIDDY

1. thanks to all of your very well-thought out and beautifully articulated arguments in regard to yesterday's post, I called my favorite bakery in Tulsa this morning and ordered two dozen white cupcakes, one dozen chocolate cupcakes, and three dozen cookies in assorted flavors.

2. Just because it bears repeating: THREE DOZEN CUPCAKES and THREE DOZEN COOKIES, people!

3. Tonight is the debut of LIFE on NBC. Life stars Damian Lewis who played Major Winters on the BAND OF BROTHERS miniseries. Have I mentioned lately how much I loooooved the BAND OF BROTHERS miniseries?

4. Dancing with the Stars is perhaps the best show ever for walking on the treadmill.

5. So far I've heard from a lot of friends and relatives who are planning on attending the launch party at the Barnes and Noble on 41st in Tulsa, OK next Tuesday (Oct. 2) night at 7:00. And, by the way, you guys know that you're invited, right? I mean, could I conceivably have a party without you? Uh? Don't think so.

6. Oh yeah...it's just SIX days until CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY comes out!!!!!!!!!


So that's day 6.

What about you guys? What's making YOU giddy these days?

Hmm... no cute boys would smile at me in this lifetime... my birthday was Labor Day... I didn't see that catalog (Though I SERIOUSLY want to)... well? I guess it's just Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy that's making me giddy (and hyper). If anyone says "Cross your heart and hope to die?" I might die because I'm sooooo giddy and hyper! My friends reading Love Ya, Kill Ya now and I'm always squeeling questions about which part she's at. Still pushing my parents for those plane tickets *wave and in air like theres invisible plane tickets*

I'm giddy because I get to go to sleep. Loooonnnngggg day, but now it's over, and my bed is so comfy. Plus, it's a queen sized bed (or as one of my friends who's still in the dorms called it "a big kid bed"), and that makes me VERY giddy.

Jennifer, I got my first "Big Girl Bed" last Saturday (I've been sleeping on a trashed twin size for so long) and it's what's making me giddy, too. It's all I can think about at work all day. Soooooo nice to go home and crawl in!
