It came! And I not only got a copy of the cover - perfect for framing - but she signed it. Color me happy. ::dances just a little (and not very well)::
well, it's not here that I could see, but I did discover that a package I've been waiting for is actually at the post office all the way across campus, and I had to send off to have it redelivered...*sighs*
I asked Megan for a copy for my sister, and it arrived yesterday. I got a deliriously joyful phone call. Apparently Megan sent a card, too! Cue two very happy fans here. :DDD
it's like 7:00 here, and I thought the mail had already come. I am so glad i was wrong! I intercepted my cover proof just as the mailman was coming up to the door :D Now I don't have to explain to my parents why something in the mail was addressed to my screen name.
Darn. I wish I hadn't ignored my LiveJournal so much. I guess I've not been active here. I'll be on more often now, hopefully. Also, I'm switching work hours so I might be able to attend a chat.
HOMG! I GOT MINE! IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND I'VE BEEN DANCING ROUND THE HOUSE ALL DAY! Thank You Megan! I'm really interested to know what those extras are going to be like. Woohoo!
MINE CAME! It's beautiful! I was the first one home, so I managed to get the envelope with no questions being asked about who 'Rowana de Silva' was, and how I knew her. Thank you so much Megan.
Got mine! (How's that for grammar?) It came while we were gone, so 1/20 or before. Signed in silver sharpie, and it will be $6.99 US - I really like how her books are affordable.
Of course, now I want to know the whiny story behind the delay. Checkers ... did you get the scoop? I can't believe you weren't dying to know as well.
*has been chanting this for the past five minutes*
so I totally ran down the stairs to get to the mail clerk tonight, ripped open the package in front of the mail clerk, and danced and squealed in front of the mail clerk. Then I explained myself to the mail clerk, who probably still thinks I'm crazy, but was kind enough to offer congratulations. So did my roommate. So did Quark, or at least I think she did--I accidentally woke her up. (huh? it's only 10 her time!!)
THANK YOU SO MUCH MRS. TURNER! I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. This is pretty much the coolest thing I've ever received.

All the way to Australia - Megan Whalen Turner is just wonderful.
