If you have facebook, you've probably seen that last night I got to meet a blogging hero. Her name is The Pioneer Woman, but we refer to her lovingly as P-Dub. She writes a fabulous blog that I've been reading for years... and just recently she was able to publish a cookbook.
Last night, at Full Circle bookstore, she and her family were there for a book signing. Jamie, Mallory, Sara, Lauren and I loaded up and went.
We got there at 5:30, signing started at 6:30 and we thought we were good. We were in line into the mall, but still relatively close to the front of the line. We had a fabulous time in line... And I'm pretty sure that we kept the ladies around us entertained.
For example, at one point during the wait, Lauren noticed PW's husband (who we in the blogging world know as Marlboro Man) was walking through the mall, right toward us.
Jamie has a fancy camera and we wanted her to take a picture... but she was on the phone with Chris. So we stood there yelling at her and jumping up and down... This is our recenactment of the moment later-
Later in the evening, her daughters came walking through the crowd. They walked right by us and Sara was bold enough to ask them for a picture. At this point we were all giddy, but still being oh-so-smooth....
Mallory said to them "I like your boots"... Then turned to us and immediately said (in the highest pitch EVER)- "I totally froze!!!" We all CRACKED up and somehow it turned into "BOOTS... PUNKS... RANCH" for the rest of the night... the lady in front of us was even quoting it by the end!
Her husband and two sons walked through the crowd a little later. Sara and I followed (read, hunted them DOWN) and were able to get a pic with them. Jamie, Mallory and Lauren were SOOOO jealous!
We finally made it INTO the actual bookstore and started to get excited... but the excitement turned into more waiting... and waiting... and waiting...
But finally... it happened- we got to meet P-DUB!
She is as cute and as sweet in person as she is on her blog. She chatted with us and commented on all of our clothes.
She loved us so much, she even put us on her BLOG!!
Anyway, to say it was the night or our lives would be putting it mildly.
And now you can all say that you know someone famous. ;)

I LOVE her blog, I read it daily when possible. It was very cool to log on and see someone I knew on her blog photos. I am jealous that you got to meet her and the infamous Marlboro Man! Very cool. I am asking for the cookbook for Christmas!
I love it!
That's awesome she put "Love your scarf" in your book.
That's my baby in the cowboy hat, lol, so I know how excited you feel about being on her post! I was pretty excited to say the least. Ha! FUN TIMES. And I, too, LOVE THAT SCARF! Love, Anna (Or Neil's Mom)
I didn't recognise you in her post! Whooo, someone who went to the same school as me met Pioneer Woman...that's almost as good as meeting her myself right?
I am hoping to see her in Dallas.
