Last week I went to my first book signing, ever! Craziness, is all I have to say. The Pioneer Woman was in town signing her cookbook and since I adore her blog, I thought I would head out to meet her. I convinced Prince Charming to come with me and he had a lovely time at the Sports Bar next door to the bookstore. There were well over 200 people there. It was standing room only and I was most definitely one of those standing.
She spoke for a few minutes and then opened up a little question/answer session.
After taking a gazillion pictures of her speaking, I realized that my camera (my fancy one) had a dead battery. Go figure. So, I had settled with the thought that my picture with her would have to be taken on my cell phone. Fortunately, I remembered that my point and shoot camera was in my purse! Oh happy day! Of course the flash washes everything out and my especially red face (due to how warm it was in there) really shows through! I only had to wait an hour (after she spoke) to get my book signed thanks to a lovely employee who had sympathy for my pregnant belly and tired feet. Sweet!
All in all, it was a fun experience. I wish that I had more time to chat with her, but there were about 200 people still waiting to have their books signed. I felt guilty taking any more time than I did. Thanks, Pioneer Woman, for coming to my home town! It was a pleasure meeting you.

I am going to yell now and say "SHUT UP!" because the only thing on my Christmas list right now is her cookbook. I am in love with her blog as well. I keep showing Clark and telling him, "maybe we SHOULD live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, and you could build me an amazing kitchen, and I could cook delicious and amazing food, and maybe look as fabulous as her." I love her. I was just reading about her book signing tour tonight. Crazy. I drool over her food posts. Yum! You'll have to share which recipes you try!
