What a wonderful, amazing, very good day

I had the honor of meeting Ashley Greene today. She was in town for a friend’s wedding and came to the Kimberly Clarke Salon to get her hair done with the other girls. They were all so nice and the bride looked like an honest to goodness Angel when she was leaving, her long blonde hair flowing behind her in perfect ringlets. It was a fun, fun day.

I met the wonderfully talented Kim Clarke through a fabulous woman named Courtney Sellers. Kim’s salon is THE place to get your hair done in Jville and I watched her make Ashley’s hair look as good as it ever has in any movie. She is truly an artist and I am blessed to have met both of these wonderful ladies. When Kim told me that Ashley would be coming in, I asked if it was okay if I came up there to give her copies of my books and she agreed. I didn’t tell a soul (well except Maria) because I didn’t want word to get out that she would be there and pandemonium to break out on Herschel Street! I’ve been so nervous about it. And even thought it wasn’t going to happen for a while but all of my fretting was in vein. All of the girls in the bridal party were so sweet and everyone had a blast.

Ashley arrived a little after everyone and was a ray of sunshine from the moment she walked in the room. Her friends clearly adore her and she is loyal and grateful for them. She was down to earth, funny, and just genuinely happy to be a part of her friend’s wedding. When the limo arrived to pick the girl’s up, I asked her if it was okay if I gave her something. She said of course it was. I gave her a bag with both of my books and a letter I wrote her explaining what they were. She was so nice and said she was happy to have something to read on the plane back to LA. She was extremely gracious when everyone started asking to take pictures with her. And let me tell you, she is even more beautiful in person. She is amazing.

I don’t know if she’ll Tweet about my books, but I am truly happy to just have had the chance to meet her. I hope she becomes the most successful actress this world has ever seen. I encourage everyone to support her in every endeavor. Purchase multiple copies of every magazine that is lucky enough to have her grace its pages, see any movie she is in more than once, and then purchase it on DVD.
There are few people in this world that you meet who are ‘symmetrically’ beautiful. People who are as beautiful on the inside, as they are on the out in such a manner that those around them can’t deny it. All the women I mentioned in this blog, Kim Clarke, Courtney Sellers, and Ashley Greene, posses that quality.

What a wonderful, amazing, very good day.

We are supposed to be writing about summer and why we love it, or how we fell in love during it. Yeah. So… I hate summer. My bday is June 18th, so I’m a summer baby. You’d think summer lovin’ would be in my blood. It’s not. I hate everything about it. I’m in good ‘old Florida (AKA Hell) and all summer means is mowing the grass every week and being so sweaty after the walk from your car to the front door of your office building that you have to take deodorant with you and reapply before you get to your desk. For the record, I sweat in very unfortunate places for a girl. It’s not pretty. 

The kids are out of school and ‘camp’ is one more expense you didn’t have in the fall that you don’t really need in the summer, but you can’t leave the little crazies at home by themselves – dear, God! Do you remember what we did when our parents left us home by ourselves? Umm humm. So off to $150.00 a week camp they go to learn about dinosaurs or some other cool yet unimportant to their general development, kind of thing.

Winter – now there’s a season I can really get behind. Cool, crisp air. All-day school. Christmas spirit. Fenway under the Christmas tree eating the bows! =)

 

Yes, give me winter and comfy sweaters over summer and skimpy shorts any day. For all of you summer lovin’ fools; may your days be long, the sand be nice and warm and the water be perfectly cool. I’ll see you in the fall! 😉
