A lot of people wanted to know how I was planning to spend TMI Release Day. “Are you going out?” they asked eagerly.

I didn’t think to line up a babysitter, and it’s a bit challenging to take our daughter to restaurants these days. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have an excellent day. Here was my plan:

1. Eat an unlimited amount of sugar

2. Enjoy all the nice messages I’ve been getting from family, friends, and fans (You guys are so sweet!)

3. Drink a martini

4. Order Burmese takeout for dinner

5. Watch Survivor

6. Skip all housework

7. Have a living room dance party with the Bean

8. Go to a local bookstore and take a picture of TMI sitting on the shelves

The last item on this list very nearly didn’t happen. I called half a dozen bookstores in the area yesterday morning, and none of them had TMI in stock yet. On the bright side, they all had the book on order and expected to have copies within the next few days.

Then I got a message from my friend, Cheryl, whose book Breathing also came out yesterday. She spotted both of our babies at Book Passage in Corte Madera. I raced out there, Bean in tow, and saw the gorgeous sight with my own eyes.

Mmm…books.

The Bean had to fondle TMI a little. Who can blame her? It’s pretty.
