And, your price includes shipping which the Amazon doesn't. <br /><br />But just to make sure you don't feel bad, I'm going to do something special to the cover so yours will be a special edition.

I can't wait to meet and talk catharsis. Hey, I bet you understood every one of those David Sedaris references, huh? <br /><br />Garden, you silly goose. I would text you fo' sure, even though I hate texting with a passion since I dropped my qwerty phone in the toilet.<br /><br />Kim, it was so great to meet you too. I KNOW we know each other from somewhere too. <br /><br />DeNae, I gots me some cards, and a Dave Barry book. Two steps forward.

Miss Heidi and T and Braden, go get a pocket knife, draw blood from your pinky finger, press your pinky fingers together via the computer screen, say YA YA three times and pinky promise you will all come next year. It would be so much more fun to kick our high heels off and spit Circus cookies during the boring parts if we were all together. Miss Heidi, maybe next year you'll be winning the Whitney Award.

So don't feel bad for me. And so were the auditions for our middle school version of "Fiddler on the Roof." It was worth it to get my own letter on Crash's blog.<br /><br />Heidi, I am with you though, hearing Crash talk about how un-good it was is so funny that it's still kind of sad.
