Emily, you are absolutely brilliant. I am authorfail because I totally missed this. Now I’m debating if I have the energy today to get sufficiently upset. I think my mind is just too blown right now to even write a comment.
I DO, however, have the energy to drive to my local bakery and buy sugar cookies, though. Thanks for that pic.

Natasha, no worries about needing the delete button. I misread it as “Roger AT Horn” instead of Roger Horn, anyway. So basically we are just good with the mind reading.

Shari, I apologized about 100x already for the book fiasco, but I’ll say it again: Sorry! So glad you found a copy, and ESPECIALLY that you (and your daughter) liked the book.

Nikki and James, thanks for acknowledging my computer greatness (okay, my computer competence).

I would just like to state for the record that it’s very impressive how many pics and links this article provides, and that said article is fun and pippy, and said pippy is a word that I’m not sure is a word and if it is, I don’t know what it means.

I love you Emily! I’m so honored to be one of your BFFs.

Sincerely,

James

You know, I think any artist who belongs to a particular religion or who is a person of faith is likely to be misrepresented by the media. There’s a strange pattern of that.

Okay, so, on ANOTHER topic, this brings up a question that I’m curious about but never had anyone to ask: I know Mormons don’t drink tea or coffee because of the caffeine, right? But chocolate has caffeine. So are Mormons supposed to eat chocolate?

Thanks for answering my deeply important question!

No one has mentioned yet how impressed they are (and should be!) with your photos and so on, so I will! Thanks for the photos, and the links, and the funny, satirical quiz! I love satire.

I am so glad you posted on this, Em. And crap, I go around showing my ankles and wrists and collar bone . . . and dare I say, knees, all the time. Dang it, no man is going to want me for his fifth sister wife now!

Perfect response. The article made me cringe for the librarian’s lack of research. Really, we are very good at researching. Usually.

Excuse me while I find something to cover my exposed elbows.

I just love you, Emily. And, despite the fact that you sold my book to someone else at the BYU writing conference, I purchased it at The Purple Cow.

Just so you know, I really liked it, and so did my daughter.

What a creative response that so summarizes my own feelings on the slj article. I didn’t know how to post on it, so thank you for this post, friend!
