So, I got to the book store hosting the event. I wanted to make sure, since I already had my book, I wasn't going to be accused of stealing or anything, so I asked the chick behind the counter if I needed something since I had the cookbook already. And she asked me where I got the book...I said my crack dealer and her response, WITH ATTITUDE was: Just so you know, for future signings, featured authors will not sign a book unless it was purchased at THIS book store. HOWEVER, you are in luck, as this author agreed to sign on a first come first serve basis.
I wanted to punch her. Then I saw that she was wearing skinny jeans, that were soo skinny and low rise the came up to her mid thigh, and fit soo improperly, since they didn't go all the way up or cover any part of her ass, the she had that flat saggy butt look in the back. Because, well, the JEANS DID COVER HER ASS. Be a bitch, chicky, at least I understand size appropriate clothing, and I know just because shit comes in my size doesn't mean I should be wearing it.
Plus her attitude pretty much solidified my not returning to that particular bookstore for anything in the future. It will take an act of God (or Edward) for me to change my mind on that one.
So, CC, came with me to the signing. Originally she was going to be busy with school stuff, but things changed and she wanted to meet me there. And it was a packed FULLY house of P-Dub devotees. CC and I got standing room only, and stood in the corner where we had great PW visuals and little did I know she would be coming out about 20ft from where I was standing!!
SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
She was very personable and funny. I'm happy I was able to hear her Q&A session. And I took some pics, but they were all blurry... (just an excuse for me to look into making a new camera purchase)
Here's CC, with PW talking in the background.... CC and I started to fall in love with PW together at work. I had read her sporadically, but CC jumped in full heartedly, and then I started to read more, and more, and more....then POOF!!! BIG PW FANS!!! So It was fitting that she was able to come with me and see her!!

Me and the PW in the background!!

I wanted to get my book signed, and there were a bunch of people. So CC and I decided, lets grab dinner close by, and then come back. She started signing books at 730, CC and I came back at 915... and the line was still MASSIVE!!!!!! I wanted to wait, but opted to go home, because God knows when I would have been able to get my book signed, and I had to stop and pick up Jaeger. No book signing for me. At least I heard/saw her. I got some pics. I was a happy camper.

If you are under a rock and don't know anything about The Pioneer Woman, check out her sight. She's got a little something for everyone...funny stories, photography, cooking, even homeschooling stuff (which I don't really do anything with except for the smarty pants quizzes).
I told my mom about the attitudey chicky (leaving out the bit about the ill-fitting skinny jeans that only went up to her thighs) and how I didn't really appreciate it. And she was talking to her one friend that frequents the store. She said that that is typical book signing stuff...you buy the book from the store hosting the signing. I said that was fine, I didn't know...however...little bitchy needs to lose the attitude. And I still don't intend on going back to the bookstore for anything unless act of God/Edward should occur.
Rock out, cock out.
