Back in April 2007 I started a blog called “Blind Dates Worse Than Yours”. One day I got a call from a literary agent who had found my blog (thanks to his son) and he offered to represent me if I wanted to pursue a book deal.

And finally, here I am tonight when I grabbed the mail on my way to the grocery store. Waiting for me in my little mail box was a puffy envelope with this little prize inside.
I honestly did not believe that this was going to happen until today when I finally got to hold my book in my own two hands. Crazy…and very exciting. Thanks for joining me for the ride! See you next week when I tell you about my trip to Scottsdale.
