Future Ex-Husband Update

I just finished I Am Not Myself These Days and I am utterly heartbroken. This book has seriously affected me and Mr. Kilmer-Purcell. . .you are a master story teller! On an upbeat note, the author will be appearing on Friday April 7th in Lansing. How exciting is that? Only one problem, my nieces birthday party is the next day. Here is the dilemma. Do I drive four hours up to Lansing to get my book signed (and hopefully get my picture taken with my future ex-husband) and then drive down to Columbus the next day (a good seven hour drive)or do I just try to get someone to get a signed copy for me. Oh the dilemmas!
