The best lines in your rant were, "And the pink ribbons and hearts. They make me want to scream too." There was something so agreeable in those two lines.
ANYWAY. You know some authors of books I've read have actually illustrated their own covers. I'm not saying I've seen your art or whatever and can judge your talent, but I'm sure with the 4 novels you have under you presently (the new one comes out it June, right?) they probably wouldn't object to things like that too greatly. Yup O_O I've always been interested in seeing author illustrations of their own work because they know it better than anyone.
I really love the original cover of "The Winter Prince" because it was the cover of the first version I read from the library. I have the newer one, the art of which always amazes me with the bits of painting and graphics and such, but...I always consider stealing the old "The Winter Prince" from the library and paying the fine...
And in your comment below about "The Sunbird" being the best thing you've written you think, I just read it and I was carried right along in the story the whole way. I thought it was amazing! Thanks for it! (rave reviews it!)
Your grandma sounds kickass from what I've read about her personality and quirks. Gotta love people like her. I'm glad she's back at home. You'd better keep her happy because happy people tend to take care of themselves and stick around longer! And kickass people are always the best to have sticking around.

Sorry for such a long comment @_@
