I give up. That last post I was trying to do when WP turned on me? I give up…dammit it was cute too but I don’t have time to re-write the whole thing and apparently WP has some very serious issues with cut and paste as well as some type of deep hatred for Microsoft Word transfers. I think it should seek counseling to get along with other programs…but that’s just me.
So in three easy points, here is what I was going to share with you…
1.) I have no shame. This is how stupid I looked for Jen Lancasters Pretty in Plaid book signing. Hey she asked every one to dress up…my status as a professional grade stalker would have slipped had I not followed orders. Also, you should know a 20 year old tried to pick me up at the 7-11 while I was wearing this. He was wearing a pink shirt, skinny black tie and VANS. ‘Nuff said.
2.) This is my long lost friend, Cheryl. We had not seen each other in 17 years and ended up reconnecting on facebook recently. She took my demands about all y’all reading Jen’s books pretty seriously, bought all three and discovered her inner Jen as well. It was beyond amazing to see her, an entire lifetime happened since we last connected and we won’t be letting that happen again! Also, you should know that crispy curly hair in the background is not mine. It somehow made it’s way into the picture. Had I thought to crimp my hair, I probably would have. I am forever thankful that thought did not occur to me.
3.) The book signing was a total blast. The funniest part was when the Barnes and Noble person tried to rush Jen off to auto-graphs after she read a chapter from her book to us. Jen was really not going to have any of that and politely informed the woman that if we had questions, she was going to answer them. She rocks…truly. And I’m pretty sure judging from the scene there that she approximately 300 best friends in Dallas.
Also shout out to Bobbi from Bobbi in La La Land who I had the pleasure of meeting. Have y’all read her blog? She is funny and adorable! She came up and introduced herself after her sister, Connie from The Young and The Relentless told her I was there and described what I was wearing after I posted a picture on twitter. Based on the picture above, I’m sure you can agree that I was easy to find.
Now if you will excuse me, I’m off to spread my particular brand of charm mayhem around the greater Atlanta area. Be sure to email me to let me know when you have your Prom-a-Palooza pics up and ready to go. I’ll be updating the links throughout the day on Friday and will leave it up through the weekend and Monday so everyone has a chance to visit your site and marvel at your high school awesomeness!

Have fun in the ATL! I wish we were going to be able to hook up. As in meet up, not hook up like the kids say to mean casual sex. You get it.

Definitely rockin’ the side ponytail and LOVIN’ the glasses! Flashin’ back to the ’80’s. Good times…good times!
Love, love, love the side ponytail! Takes me back to my childhood.

Fair warning and all.

If you’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.7, if you look at the editor when you’re posting, there are two tiny little icons that look like clipboards – one has a “T” on it, and the other has a “W”. These allow you to paste content from another application – use the one with the “W” on it, and you’ll be able to paste a Word document to your blog without carrying over all of that lovely, funky Microsoft code, but without losing any formatting you might have.

The side ponytail and sunglasses are hawt! No wonder 20 year old hit on you.
Captain Dumbasss last blog post..Random Tuesday: T.U.E.S.D.A.Y.
Sounds (and looks!) like a total blast!! You seriously rock the side ponytail!
Dana’s Brains last blog post..For Tricia
You totally pulled it off! I love the 80’s look! Sounds like a great time, ordering the book on Amazon for sure.

Oh lady, for a second I thought you had crimped your hair and I was going to have to give you a stern talking to. But of course you would never do that and you just look amazing as usual.
The book siging looks fun!
blissfully caffeinateds last blog post..It’s Random Tuesday and this is possibly the worst post I’ve ever written. Maybe not the absolute worst, but it’s likely in the top 3 if one were to keep track of these things.
Looks like you had a great time!!
Side pony tail is rockin’, you little hottie, you!
Loving the look! Thanks to you, I just finished Bitter and am now starting Bright Lights. I want to be prepared if you have the need to stalk her in Chicago. You know, for back up and all.. Right?
Do you think that if I bring the books, she would sign them? Cuz my name is Jen and all? I mean, we’re practically the same person!
Sprite’s Keepers last blog post..Moving Target
I love book signings! I’ll always love books. The Kindle is dead to me. Dead.
BIG PAPAs last blog post..White River Rapids
When did I send you my glasses from high school? Had I been drinking? You know it is not fair to take advantage of the slightly inebriated.
It’s charming mayhem.
Writer Dads last blog post..Black and White
I wore my hair like that when I was a teeny bopper.
Love your look. I used to wear the side pony a lot….then whip off my banana clip and twirl my long hair all over the dance floor. Jen will be at a Barnes & Noble here in Atlanta on Friday.
You looked totally rad and that was some of the best Twitter stalking I’ve ever been a part of!
Bobbi is holding my Prom picture hostage.
Connie @ Young and Relentlesss last blog post..Summer Passports
Isn’t that what you wore to the prom?
pamelas last blog post..it’s my birthday so you had all better show up with some good cake. presents are good, too.
Those sunglasses are super snazzy!
Thanks for the shout out!
It was great meeting you! As soon as Connie said Red sunglasses I realized you were sitting right in front of me.
And P.S., Connie is a liar! I’m not holding her prom picture hostage, I’ve just forgotten to send it to her. But now I’ve decided that I need to copy it first, so I can have it as blackmail if I ever need it. It’s that good. Or bad as the case may be.
Bobbis last blog post..My Night With Jen Lancaster
I first clicked over and thought the sideways ponytail was your flashback prom pic. Hah, you’re a nut. A good nut.

texasholly @ june cleaver nirvanas last blog post..Just don’t be 6th
So funny! And I don’t know why you call that “bad fashion” because you can see that same outfit every day around here … well, at the Stop-and-Robs, but still.
Cathys last blog post..Books
But that could have been your hair! Your outfit made me think of Grease.
Oh, and can I borrow those sunglasses? It’s been years since a 20-year old made a pass at me.
The Lawyer Moms last blog post..The Joy of Boys

bexs last blog post..FFF: A Good Mom
Mary Anne. Do me a favor and find a way to steal that picture from Bobbi. I will pay you.
Thanks.
Connie @ Young and Relentlesss last blog post..Summer Passports
OMG!!! I am so jealous! I would love to meet Jen Lancaster in person, you are so lucky. I think your 80’s outfit is perfect! Have fun in Hotlanta…

Totally adorable! Jealous. I missed Jen’s local appearance due to a family emergency. Next tour!
