SHE KN....okay not as in she KNEW me personally...
but she knew OF me!
Yesterday, after taking my beautiful Momma shopping and to Maggiano's for lunch in celebration of her upcoming (next Monday) birthday...
I got in the Red Rocket and headed north.
Way north.
"I said 'WHERE is Skokie?'" was one of many snippets overheard as I waited 4 and 1/2 hours to meet THE Queen of blogging....
Ree Drummond.
More commonly known in the world of bloggers as PIONEER WOMAN.
She was in Skokie at the Barnes & Noble store to chat for a couple of minutes before signing her new cookbook...
I had arrived at the bookstore at 3:00, got a number for the signing line (#82 of over 260 tickets given out) and then headed to the mall to wander and wait.
The store had said seating would begin at 5:00, so I made sure to be back in plenty of time, thus allowing me the upfront and present position.
I have been a
And I am not the only one.
On average Susan's Snippets gets two comments a day.
Pioneer Woman.....500!
And when she posts a contest....she can ring up over TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND comments.
So when I finally got to sit down next to her at the signing table with my book in one hand and a package of dot dot dot eat cookies a lot! Chocolate Polk-A-Dots in the other...I was a bundle of nerves!
"Ree, I know you get 100's of comments a day, so you probably won't know me, but I am Susan of Susan's Snippets." I choked out.
"SUSAN, of course I know you, I LOVE your comments!" she said while leaning towards me to do this...
and then went on to sign my copy of her book.....
But rest assured there will be much more next week where I will share stories of newfound blogging friends...
and the owner of this....

Hi Susan!
SO nice meeting you Thursday night! I'd be glad to help you with your blog layout...I just used a template from Cutest Blog on the Block, it was pretty easy.
Aaron says 'hey' back!
She does love your comments. I'm a PW fan too and I try to read all the comments on her posts except for the contest ones (waaay too many to read!)I remember her leaving a note under one of you comments a while back saying she loved your comments.
