LOVE SUCKS! in the flesh…

These three things absolutely did NOT happen when I opened the UPS envelope from HarperCollins.

  1. I absolutely DID NOT squeal like a little girl when I saw the glossy cover.
  2. I certainly DID NOT spend 20 minutes with my iPhone trying to take the perfect picture of myself holding the book.
  3. No way did I sleep with the book. No way.

Obviously #2 was a total FAIL (not that I did that at all. because I didn’t.)

I will tell you, originally I wasn’t thrilled about the cover. I wanted a different background (more in line with BITE ME!’s bright solid cover) and I wanted the prom dress (which you can’t see in the picture that I DID NOT spend 20 minutes trying to get the perfect shot of both the cover AND me being cute) to be black. But now that I’ve slept with held the book in my man hands, I LOVE everything about it. The dress isn’t nearly as mauvey/rosey in person. And the girl on the cover is beautiful. And the back of the cover is a GORGEOUS shade of purple.

LOVE IT.

And it loves me, too. It whispered it in my ear last night as I fell asleep. Not that I slept with it or anything. Because I didn’t.

Mel’s Holy Grail

First of all, did you miss it yesterday? I got my cover for BITE ME! I am in love with it in a way that is truly unhealthy. Right now, I’ve gotta fever, and the only cure is more cowbell cover!
And if you’re coveting her hair? Just know you’re not alone.

Okay, back to the topic at hand. Mel’s Holy Grail….

Everybody’s searching for something. Love, Friendship, Enlightenment, the Fountain of Youth, A Cabana Boy, Money, Power…

Do you know what Mel is searching for?

A Flamingo Pez dispenser

Flamingos and Pez!

Seriously, how could I have a bad day if I had a Flamingo Pez dispenser? It would be physically impossible to remain angry or in a bad mood if I pulled out my Flamingo Pez dispenser and popped a Pez. (and it’s not that Pez is an exceptionally good candy or anything. It’s just that it’s Pez. And who isn’t happy popping a Pez? Especially out of a Flamingo?)

I can’t find one anywhere. This image? It’s a rubber stamp image. It’s exactly what I want yet I can’t pop a Pez from a rubber stamp!

I am afraid my life will not be complete until I find a Flamingo Pez dispenser. If you happen across one, pick it up! Call me! Email me! Write me! Shout it from the rooftops!

I will not rest until I have one in my hands…It is my Holy Grail.
