So today I took the day off to work on the book tour events and a bunch of posts for a new site I'll be writing for (hint:  preschoolers and what to do with them in Kansas City -- more details soon).  In the morning, before I started my marathon 3,000-word writing bonanza, I headed over to a friend's company (okay, they make jeans) to talk a little bit about blogs and blogger outreach.

We had a great old time, even though I was 15 minutes late and totally lost because the directions I printed out actually FLEW OUT THE WINDOW as I was driving.  Yeah, I'm cool.  Anyway, when I finally found the building, I went to the wrong entrance, cursed profusely, and jogged around to the right entrance. When I arrived, my buddy told me he'd seen the whole thing.  "You run like a girl," he said.

But! I got some really cool free jeans out of the whole affair, which I'll review shortly.  Although I've only tried on one pair so far (testing the old "gap protection" - think it can hold up to an 11-inch hip-to-waist ratio?), so far, I'm kind of shocked at how nicely they fit considering I totally guessed at what size I would wear. And we all know how shocking THAT is.

So!  I totally forgot to announce the winner of my edu-software contest.  So hurry on over to Surrender, Dorothy: Reviews to find out.  And stay tuned, because one of these days I'll get organized enough to put all the book signings into a widget or something equally informative. If only I could figure out how to use widgetbox. If anyone's in the know, please e-mail me.  I'm pathetic.
