By the way,
Why do people have so much trouble
Why do people have so much trouble
pronouncing Barnes & Noble?
Barnes & Nobles? Barne & Noble?
People are all confused about the crooked letter.
Throws 'em off. In the
mispronunciation department,
it's up there with Wal-Mart. Think about it.
I was invited to a New Authors Book Signing Night-O-Fame Celebratory Convention (key words: book signing and fame) and I think it is an understood thing in all cultures that when Barnes and Noble calls, you go! There were 8 authors invited altogether. One of the local news channels (Channel 3/KATC - for all my local yocals - whatup Marcelle Fontenot?! Call me! Actually, don't call me. You'll just make me nervous.) came out to cover it and I had a cameo appearance on the 10 o'clock news last night! It's like I'm famous now.
I was the one over the shoulder of the guy they were interviewing...but clearly it was ME they were showcasing. He was just a decoy.
Obviously.
I only sold (1), BUT I had a good time and also, I felt pretty 'cause I had gotten all gussied up and I smelled really good, so all was not lost. (When somebody smells the perfume or cologne, we like to say they "smell the ha-na-na".)
Plus, I was on the news and I was invited to a book signing AT BARNES & NOBLE! And I was on the news.
So I think that means I made it to the Big Time.
Public Service Announcement:
8 people love me:
You are famous and you made it on the news and I am so star struck right now. I am not even kidding.
You. Are. My. HERO!!
I totally would've gone to the Barnes & Stables (as my son used to call it) and bought ANOTHER book just because you were INVITED TO A BOOK SIGNING! That's the
COOLEST...THING....EVER.
Exclamation PointS!!!!
woo hoo! oh yeah! i think i get it. we
know you are THIS funny and vulurine.
so you feel this pressure to be this way.
honey, you ARE this way, and we love it.
i had a big old, sloppy grin throughout.
and guess what? i just had dinner with
a "bonafide" author, who makes a good
living at it.
she was SOOOOOO boring in comparison
to you. :)

pepper it into all my dinner conversations.

family.
my daughter, hailey, and i are going to
see 'splice' (gasp) during the day, of
course.

Awww you guyyyyth! You make me blush.
Wendi: Girl stop. I have only a fraction of the fame you have. :)
Chel: I wish you COULD'VE come! What a sweet surprise that would be! ...even cooler than being on the news. :)
Le-to the-a: I wish I'D have been your Acclaimed Author Dinner Guest. I should have loved it, I am sure... and hopefully I'd be less snorish. :) I just made that word up. You like it?
I love you guyth!! Y'all are even better to me than finding treasures at a garage sale! And that is the best compliment I can give anybody.
BETTER than a garage sale??!
Awwwww...garsh.
