Starstruck -- Part Two.

So, tonight Mary, my baby sister caught up with Ree, The Pioneer Woman at her book signing in Chicago. Mary has been reading Ree's blog as long as I've been blogging -- about a year and a half. Of course, like all of us, she fell in love with Ree and decided she needed to pick up a copy of her cookbook and meet her in real life.

Mary was admittedly nervous and said she became red and sweaty, but managed to get out a few words that made sense.

Ree told Mary that she was beautiful. :) Which Mary totally is -- and that hair -- look at that hair! I'm so jealous.

Mary also scored the autograph of Marlboro Man and the two boy punks. Apparently, one of them wanted to sign twice. Mary said it was cute.

I think Mary is telling Ree that she will treasure her cook book forever. And I'm sure she promised Ree that she would make all the recipes in the book whenever I come to town.

And I guess they were giving out these cute t-shirts -- which Mary will be rockin' when she comes to visit and we roadtrip to Nashville together for the December 8th signing. So excited!!!!
P Dub, you rock! !f you're looking for two, new bff's, we're totally available -- you know, in a non-creepy, non-stalkerish kind of way!

So cool. So very cool. And, yes, Mary is so pretty! She looks like she should be the one that's the celeb.

Found your link through another link from PW's link. I think PW is going to link up the blogosphere;) I got to meet her in Denver. So much fun!

I love the header for you blog, BTW. Is it your own design?
