Dreams Do Come True

Well, I guess it's about time to spill the beans. I met THE Pioneer Woman on Friday night. Allison and I walked into the State Fair Arena and like a beacon of light there she was. We decided to screw the general admission seats and sit in the reserves right behind her. Allison's husband came with us and poor soul had to put up with us oohing and goohing over her..."oh she's taking a picture" "look she's tweeting". We even got to see the punks aka her kids and Marlboro man in the flesh! I must admit he is a good lookin cowboy! I knew the pioneer and I could instantly be bff's when I glanced and saw her take a sip out of her budlight bottle. About halfway through the rodeo I saw her get up and head out of the stadium. I looked at Allison and said "I'm gonna go say hi and meet her" and that's exactly what I did. Do I have any shame? Nope. Followed her straight to the ballroom where she was standing in front of the door with her kids. I politely asked "Excuse me, are you the pioneer woman?" and in a calm sweet voice she answered back "why, yes" We chit chatted for a minuted then went into the bathroom to do our business. Then came out of the stalls and washed our hands next to each other. I told her how I've been trying to win a mixer...hint hint pick Linzy. ha! :) She told me it was nice meeting me and went on her merry way.

I facebooked, texted, tweeted that I had just met THE PIONEER WOMAN. The whole world of Linzy knew 5 seconds after it happened. God bless the iphone.

Not sure what happened the rest of the rodeo I was floating on cloud 9

PS Yes she really is that pretty in person. Girl has great hair!

Saddle Up!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about the adventure that lies ahead tonight. The one and only Ree Drummond aka The Pioneer Woman will be at the 25th annual Cattleman's Association Range Round Up tonight and tomorrow night at the State Fair Arena. Her family Ranch will be participating in the Rodeo and I'm hoping to get a glance and her and Marlboro man! My friend and wing man Allison will be going with and I'm hoping we get the chance to meet her. Maybe I'll even meet a cowboy!

Tickets are still available at Ticketmaster or you can buy tickets at the event which starts at 7:30 PM August 28th and 29th! Portions of the proceeds benefit Children's Miracle Network.

Where are my cowboy boots when I need them??

Tracy Porter dishes

Yesterday The Pioneer Woman aka Ree Drummond gave away 8 place settings of these dishes. Unfortunately I didn't win :( I will one day! I really want to win a mixer. She gives one out about 3 or 4 times a month. One day, One day.

Anyway back to the dishes. They are called "Vivre" by Tracy Porter. You can check out other fabulous dishes and other super cute items on her website.

Don't say I didn't warn you. Her stuff is seriously so stinking cute!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and don't do anything I wouldn't do :)

Blizzard

This picture is courtesy of my iphone so I apologize for the not so great quality. This is the window I look out of from my office. As you can see its just raining and gloomy right now. Snow is a comin'!

They are predicting a blizzard! A blizzard...in Oklahoma...at the end of March! Ridiculous I tell you! I'm praying Walmart still has car ice scrapers. I broke mine in the last snow storm back in January. Wish me luck at lunch!

I had a really weird dream last night that I got to hang out with The Pioneer Woman - Ree Drummond! I know there was someone else with me, but I can't remember who I was with. Sometimes I wonder if dreams are dje'vu's or predictions for your life. Will this mean I will one day meet the pioneer woman?! Let's hope so.

Happy Friday! If you live in OK be safe with all this crazy weather!
