And because Donnell, Tamara and I were clued in by Rees previous blog posts on her Griswald family Book tour... (hahahahah) we called and called and annoyed the heck out of Borders before hand to find out what the procedure would be- Color coded wrist bands for each 100 people.
So we arrived when they opened tuesday morning,(ok.. Tamara Beat us there while I sweated it out waiting on Donnell to get to my house so we COULD go... hahahaha...) and got our...........wait for it...........................
GOLDEN WRIST BANDS!!!!!!!!!!!! woot!!!!!!!!!!
Tamara was
like number 3 at the cash register... and we waited about 15 minutes
for ours.(and then I shamefully went and spent $120 in the store on
cute amazing fun things for christmas gifts) By 20 minutes
after they were on to the second color. I put mine on IMMEDIATLY
.. no chance I was going to lose THIS puppy!!!! And then D and I
went on home to work and chat about what was COMING UP this
evening!
At 3 we closed up shop and hauled butt in the pouring freezing rain, to Northpark to get ready to meet Tamara & Matthew for an early supper at Luna De Noche.. (YUMMMMMMMMY Thank goodness they put the old cheese sauce on the menu.. that new one SUCKED guys!!!) and then we ran BACK OUT IN THE RAIN ( Did I mention it was raining and freezing all day???) and I gave Donnell hell about prancing around with her umbrella.. hehehehe.. and we HAULED BUTT through the flooded full parking lot to get inside to meet REE!
We had a few minutes to hang out and wait, and I found one of my clients Kristie hanging out there too!! HI KRISTIE!!! that was fun.. she had a GOLD band too (a friend stood in line that morning for her) and then ALL of the sudden they said.. " all gold wrist band holders follow the blue tape and get in Line!" OMG!!!!!!!!!! But of course.. we still had like an hour to wait so we chit chatted with our new friends in line.... and shot fun pictures of each other ...
You know you like
her scarf... everyone was talking about it.. LOL its from Delias..
Yum!!!
Im holding my
book and Liz's book (HI LIZ!!!!!!!) She's a good friend in NC who was
SO amazing she sent me MY BOOK as a present, and HER book to get signed
too! I didnt have my cute ELPH point and shoot.. bob broke it...
darn him.. so I brought my big camera and didnt have a flash.... but It
still worked!!!
And then FINALLY REE WALKED IT!!!!!!! HI REEEEEEEE!!!
This is the view that was in front of her.
Behind her was a
book store FULL OF People in a looong long line.... winding through the
store. Im told there were over 800 people by the end of the
night. Holy Crap.
I dont know how Ree does it. That would just set my knees to shaking..............
She wasnt allowed to make a speech. We sure missed that part. Was that Borders call or hers? Bummer... but she did allow ONE question... and that person asked was she going to write another book...
YES!!!!!!! "
Black heels to tractor wheels" of COURSE!!!!!!! SO we cant wait to get
THAT signed copy in our hands!!! And then it was on to
Business................
It took just a
few minutes before we got up there.. becasue we were NUMBER 16 in
line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know,
right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is Donnell with Ree.......... (we didnt get to sit beside her like some other later people did.. darn it..)
Donnell said.. "
Ree you need to invite me and Cupcake to the Ranch to cook with you."
I snapped pictures and then Ree said " My camera can kick your cameras butt". And I said.. " Shut up.. I KNOW THAT!" hahahahahah!!! Can you beleive I said Shut up to Ree?? WTH was wrong with me??????
Then it was my turn.
Great. I look like a freaking Trucker. Yeah. Plaid Who invited THAT back in Fashion anyhow???????? dammit.
Then it was Tamara and Matthews turn!
Oh and Look who
else we saw!!!! THE PUNKS!!!!!!
Donnell was so
funny...........she wanted pictures with them! heheheheh!

get my shirt before someone snatched up all the XL's! hahahahah!
(and I was pleased that even though they were sized small I could wear
mine. I wore it wednesday. No.. Im not a crazed groupie.. really.

though! I found out later that Mateo was there and possibly even
MIKE! Dang it. We were Talking in line about how anti climactic it was
