Boo. However, the somewhat amusing exchange was as follows:<BR/><BR/>Me: "Hi, I'm looking for a book called 'Schuyler's Monster' by Robert Rummel-Hudson. Do you have any in stock? I looked in the Parenting section and it doesn't seem to be there".<BR/><BR/>Customer Service Lady #1 (typing at computer): "Hmm...No, we don't have any in this store right now...But I'm surprised we don't have this book in, I've heard great things about it and I just saw the article in 'People', it looks really fascinating..."<BR/><BR/>Customer Service Lady #2 (peering over CSL1's shoulder): "Hmm, that's not how I would spell her name; you must be familiar with the book title."<BR/><BR/>CSL#1: "Yes, because three people have come in since the beginning of the week asking for it. Also interesting is that I read somwhere that the author's wife is employed by Barnes & Noble!"<BR/><BR/>So yay, the word is spreading! Even in podunk Ohio! I had to special-order your book, so I'm hoping that it will get to me in 3-4 business days. Good times.<BR/><BR/>Also, I got a chance to read your Wondertime article while I was in the waiting room at my neurologist's office (sometimes I feel silly that I'm 28 and still seeing my pediatric neurologist, but I'm sure that you of all people understand the importance of good doctors. No one else is touching my brain, thanks. Hee). I fought back the urge to tell everyone in the office to read it. Woo! It's all very exciting.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations! I'm so glad that your and Julie's efforts have come to fruition for all the world to see. And because it must be said, I am in mad envy of Schuyler's hair. She can rock those style/color variations like no other :)<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>StephStephnoreply@blogger.com
