You know how people write out WOOT!!! on-line, but you can never really imagine them saying it? Because they don’t, in real life, ever. (As illustrated by the incomparable Mama Kat.)
.
It’s the same with squeeeee!! What is squeeeeeing, exactly? And, who actually squeeeees? Nobody, right? Yet we see it online constantly.
.
Well, I’ll tell you a secret: I do. Squeeeee, that is, and I’ve been doing a lot of it lately. Outloud.
.
SQUEEEEE!!!!
.
.
.
Sorry, I’m just so excited to have you finally see the cover of my book, due out April 3. I’m better now.
.
(Actually, I’m not. As Jeff can attest, I have completely entered the “holy shit I wrote a book and now I need to sell it” phase. He can also attest that it ain’t pretty.)
.
The cover is so new that it’s not even on Amazon yet, but the book is, and you can pre-order it (in hardcover or electronic version) now.
.
SQUEEEEE!!!!
.
Apologies, again.
.
I really hope you’ll like it. I’m pretty sure you will. Plus, it’s a mere ten bucks and is eligible for free shipping.
.
So, go! Before I squeeeee again.
.
SQUEEEEE!!!!
.
(Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)

I forgot how funny that video is. Your fans deserve another!
Well, you ARE my biggest fan, so it’s perfectly fitting.
I’ve already got big plans for some dramatic readings of this book…it’s exactly what my videos have been missing.
Mama Kat recently posted..Sh*t Girls Say
Best. Idea. Ever.
We should totally plan a book launch party that involves a dramatic reading of Scary Mommy by Mama Kat.
I’ll bring the champagne.
