Riiiing!
Me (reaching for cell phone hidden under octopus): Whut?
Chipper voice: This is Inge VonPeepenskeeven, formerly of the Slitherina Literary Agency and Gin Appreciation Society! Happy DAY ONE Day!
Me: huh, whut???
Inge: (quite chipper, clearly too happy to last long in publishing) Today is the launch date for Bill Cameron's DAY ONE! We're calling to make sure you have your copy?
Me: WHUT????
Inge: Please, Miss Reid, have you bought a copy of DAY ONE yet?
Me: Buy? BUY? I have YET to forgive Bill Cameron for What He Did to Eager™.! BUY A COPY? He'll be lucky if I ever tweet to him again, that rapscallion reprobate! (sounds of snarling and octopus scuttling under desk)
Inge: Miss Reid? Miss Reid?
Me: WHAT!
Inge: Mr. Cameron sent cupcakes to your office. Miss Townsend and Miss Barnes are poised like raptors with forks and serviettes. Miss Evans, in fact BOTH Miss Evans, are swinging from the chandelier by their knees holding tongs!
Me: All is forgiven! I'll be RIGHT there! Hold them off Inge! Hold them OFF!
Inge: Where oh where did I put my application for the convent?

You crack me up. This is hilarious. :)
Inge, here it is: application.
Someone needs to explain my outsider Canadian brain what's with cup cakes in the US lately.
EVERYONE IS EATING THEM! Are they the new Krispykreme (or whatever it was called)?
I'm serious, everytime I call or talk to a US friend, they're eating, baking, digesting or thinking of cupcakes.
Where's the BEST place to get them? I love the chocolate kind.
That is one hell of a way to apologize. I wish more people apologized to me that way.
i see you CAN be had... and for [relatively] CHEAP :O lol
Please tell the octopus I loathe the phone and the best way to reach me is by e-mail. I miss her, too.
Those look pretty good, even to a pie-eating reprobate such as myself.
So many of your posts only make a very little bit of sense to me.
I have so much fun trying to clear the muddle. Thank you!
There is no better way to start the day than to be compared to a raptor.
So THAT's where she went....
cupcakes! great job perk!
