		<description>I&#039;m really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems? A number of my blog readers have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this problem?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know why but your posts weren&#039;t coming through my reader! Ugh, ugh, ugh.  I felt like your mom on those days you didn&#039;t post!

This cracked me up which means indeed she will call and it will be all good things.</description>

		<description>HA HA HA!

I missed this when you posted it, or I would have sent a note. You are hilarious and I adore  you. 

PS. If you must know, it wasn&#039;t an email it was a phone call, and the words &quot;she&#039;s a great writer&quot; were involved. xox</description>

		<description>Hi Alexa,
I&#039;ve been following your blog for ages now (18 months or something), and I&#039;ve been meaning to write to you for ages just to say you&#039;re, you know, hilarious. Anyway, was spurred into action when I saw that you sent in your book proposal. I have often thought to myself: if this woman does not get a book deal, there is no hope for literature. So, I am extremely optimistic that you will indeed get an agent, then a publishing deal, culminating in an appearance on Oprah. 
But seriously, you are an amazingly funny woman and your work needs to be brought to a wider audience. (Specifically to Ireland where I&#039;m from. An author visit to my local bookstore would be appreciated also.) I am crossing fingers and toes for you.

		<description>OMG re: The Little Match Girl! I haven&#039;t thought about that story in years. I used to alternatively have nightmares about it as a child and then wish that I could be her because wow, would people feel sorry for me then (preteen angst). Not an appropriate story for children! And certainly not your fate. You are an extremely talented writer and I have no doubt that you will have many books published. I can&#039;t wait to say I &quot;knew&quot; her when!</description>
