I was trying to battle the crowds at Wal-Mart last weekend. And then it happened. As I meandered my way through the frozen food aisle, a nice woman stopped me and asked, "Are you the columnist who writes for the paper?" Shocked, I didn't know what to say at first, aside from the obvious answer of "YES!!!" She went on to tell me how much she enjoys my weekly columns...and...WOW...people are actually reading what I write. It never really seemed real until then. I guess that first person who recognizes you will always be special.

And then. two days later when I was in the gas station, the clerk told me the same thing. :D :D


It was really a good writing week, huh??:partyguy:

The only downside is those days you go to the store with holey sweatpants and hair uncombed, and the socks don't quite match, and what were you thinking when you chose THOSE shoes?

:)
Hate it when that happens.

Congrats. The only fans I get are the ones who tell me how much they enjoyed the pork chops yesterday.

Sounds to me as least as delicious an experience as eating a double chocolate brownie with macadamia nuts.

Woah...I think you're now officially famous. Now, maybe you'll be in the tabloid magazines and have obsessive fansites devoted to you! YAY!

All this and a cute avatar too. Now you'll have to put on make up everytime you leave the house so the paparazzi can't shoot you looking skanky :D
