What I was just thrilled about, is that almost everyone who said they’d drop by DID. Which is incredible because the mall, nine days before Christmas is not a pretty picture. There’s no parking. And they bought my books. It was so incredibly cool! Like the dork I am, I forgot to take pictures most of the time though! I did remember when Aurrora and Lesa showed up :) (they’re local writers too and visit my blog sometimes!)
So after the signing I hung out with the authors, and some friends who came to support us. We went to P.F Changs. We chatted and had fun, but I couldn’t stay long. I had a bachelorette party! But not the standard one. I’m getting old, but I way prefer the manner in which we did it last night. 2.5 hours at Claim Jumper, eating and drinking, and talking about anything and everything with the girls. It was so much fun! Way better than the bar/club hopping, sore feet in high heels, skanky outfits, and avoiding getting groped by drunken men on the dance floor. I’m sure there are still some who prefer the latter, but not me. There was a time I liked it–between 21-24. And then I woke up and realized the suckage factor of it all.
So, yeah, I also got the cold from hell yesterday morning (just in time for the big day!) and I feel like arse still. Well, I’ll post more signing pics as people send them to me (others were taking pics.) Have a great Sunday!
OMG what an awful picture of me! Ack!
I’m so glad that we dropped by Shelli. I’m really looking forward to reading your Christmas story. It was great to see you and I’m thrilled to be able to support your writing too. You’re a great author and this book signing is just the first of many to come! :) Merry Christmas! Oh, and I hope you feel better too.
Ooh, that poor woman whose books didnt arrive!
Brunette’s looking good on you! And I have to mention, at first glance I thought you had on this MASSIVE red puffy hat. And then I realized that’s the back of someone standing behind you, lol!
(what?)
You look cute as a brunette. And the stocking are HUNG, what more could you want. Hehe.
Glad you enjoyed the signing and bachelorette party! Sounds like you had a GREAT day!!! :)
Sounds like you had a blast! Wish I coulda been there! :D Hehe and my verification word is blow. Bhwhahahaha! Why I never!
Yes, you do look cute!
And PF Chang and then Claim Jumper? Sounds good to me. I love both those places, although I wished the portions were bigger.
I’m starting to feel like a real country bumpkin — I’ve never even heard of either place. :P
But I’m glad you had a good time at the signing. :D
LOVE the hair — that color looks great on you!
Sounds like a fun weekend, except for the cold. Its a bad one. I was miserable.
Ok Feisty made my laugh out loud w/ her comment about wishing the portions were bigger. She’s too funny…
Love the dark hair! Bummer about the lady’s books not showing up.
:( And PF Changs & Claim Jumper all in one night? I’d be rolling home from all the small portions I ate…
Love that comic BTW!
Your first signing! How cool are you?
Congrats on the signing. Sounds like fun despite the cold!
ICK – I didn’t know you were going to post the picture, or I would not agreed to let you take it.
I was bummed that the other books didn’t show – but that just makes me more determined to track it down!! I’m very glad we could be there for you on this first of many signings to come!!
Congrats on your busy day, sorry about the cold. Tis the season, after all.
That is such a shame that books didn’t get there in time for one of the ladies. I feel so bad for her. I’m glad the signing went well otherwise. Hope you feel better soon.
Congrats on the signing. I recognize Aurrora! :)
I bought Christmas Wishes. .. enjoyed all the stories in it (especially yours!)
Happy holidays — hmmmm. . . the stockings were hung! Yowza– that’s a thought!
