I met Martha Stewart!!

So, guess what I did on Tuesday?? It's usually a study day, but not this time!
Sunday night I was reading through my Martha Stewart Living magazine and noticed that Martha's new book Cooking School hit the shelves on October 31, AND she was having a book signing in Dallas at Sur La Table! So, I had to go...




We arrived at the book signing an hour and a half before Martha was supposed to arrive and this is what we found. We weren't the only one's excited. As you can see, almost all women. Matt must love me...
I did bring my books to study and even sat down and opened my pharmacology for a while, but it didn't last long. I found it really interesting to listen to all of the conversations in line. One of the ladies in front of me owned a little speciality shop, another lady met Martha in the 80's and had the picture with her, many others had piles of books for her to sign to give to family and friends for Christmas. I only had one book for me, I don't think anyone else in my family admires Martha the way I do.





Our first glimpse! Martha is all smiles as she enters through the back alley (ten minutes before scheduled). I walked close after her SUV stopped so that I could get a good picture.


After a long wait in line, we finally made it inside.


I'm next in line!

While Martha was signing my book I told her that I enjoy reading her blog. She responded by saying that it is very personal and then asked me if I would like to be on it. Of course I would! So, she said, "Go stand by your friend and hold up the book," (Matt was behind the rope taking pictures) so I stood by him while Martha got out her camera and took a picture of US. I've been checking her blog daily, but haven't seen her post about the book signing yet.

Overall, it was a fun experience. Martha was very nice, personable, and somehow kept smiling through the hundreds of people making small talk with her.

I have to admit, I haven't read one page of this book---but I plan to over Christmas break!
