Good luck, Laurie! Wish I could be there!

i plan to come!

it'll be my first reading/signing so i don't have any expectations..don't even worry :)

if your hungry after..there's an awesome hole in the wall in san clemente called Pedro's tacos off camino del rio that has potato tacos!

Good luck - you'll be great. PS You look fabulous!

Have fun! Wish I could come hear you speak. Perhaps on your mid-Atlantic leg of the book tour?

Laurie, when you were writing your book, did you have a clue how many 30-something, drunk, divorced, southern women covered in cat hair there are in the world?? Having previously been one myself, let me say on behalf of us all... THANK YOU! The book is a heartwarming hoot!

Thank you, Angel :)

And Mary this is the very last stop I think.

Good luck - you will do a fantastic job as always, I'm sure! Especially since you are rocking the new bangs...

Have a great weekend!

You'll do fine :)

BTW, I went to Barnes & Noble two days ago and wanted to use my coupon to purchase DD&CiCH -- they were out of stock! Isn't that wonderful? So I had them order it for me.

Awww, come on Laurie, are you sure you don't want to come to Ohio, more specifically Dayton. We have lots to offer. We have um, negative temperatures and ahhh, oh who am I kidding? We have negative temperatures and that's about it. This is why I'm not in PR.

I think you just want to show off the new bangs.

Oh man! I am coming to California tomorrow night. If this was on Sunday, I would totally drive up there and come meet you Laurie!! DANG IT.

At any rate - anyone have suggestions on what to do/eat in San Diego???

Knock 'em dead, Purlie Girlie!

Still no plans to come to Ohio?

dang

I am very sad that I can't be there. . . it's a bit far to go for a book signing for me, since I'm on the east coast with Mary up there! (Hi, Mary!)

I was really counting on winning the contest so I could make it, but that didn't work out. Guess I'll have to try harder next time. ;-)

grandma will be there?!?!

I dated a guy from Dayton Ohio once...

Have fun! You look mahvelous, dahling.

and also- with the wind chill, it is -23 degrees here. NEGATIVE TWENTY THREE!

man I wish I could come to CA to see you!

Wow, it makes me tear up that your Grandma will see you in action with your readers. What a gift for her...stay bundled up Grandma! Have an energizing afternoon.

Have fun, sweetie!!!!

borders?! why did i think it was at a knitting store? oy. slap me on the side of the head to knock the wee brains in gear. guess i won't be learning how to knit today, after all.

anyways, i'm looking forward to the event.

mck.

p.s. you'll be FAB!

I made a crock pot meal today - inspired by you. Yum!

I also endorse the bangs - they look great.

Hi Girl - it was so nice to see you - sorry it wasn't going well - you are even more darling in real life.
I had just come from a 2 hour orientation and just couldn't stay seated another minute, or I would have stayed to hear you.
Congrats on your book !

I just finished your book - it was funny as hell :-)
Put the crockpot recipe in the next one :-)

Beautiful needles, pretty yarn...and yummy scarf. Nice.

Catching up on yesterday's post...I love the mistake rib! I ended up doing 3 or 4 scarves in it for Christmas presents this year. And I love your wisps! Have fun today...

I wish I lived close enough to check out one of your signings/appearances. If you're ever in Atlanta, I hope to see you! I started learning knitting about 6 months ago. Lovin' it!

I just wanted to tell you that I stumbled upon your site tonight and feel... comfortable here. Does that sound weird? Oh well. I am just glad to see someone that has gone through what I am with such great humor. I think your really funny and I'm going to buy your book tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Holly Owensby soon to be Holly Walker

Are you okay, sweetie?? What happened on Saturday? Did you hear that Heath Ledger died this afternoon??

Lots of hugs! ;o)

what? is heath ledger really dead?

I am not going to take offense at the fact that my name wasn't drawn, and I do hope you have a fab time with the contest winner, but it is not going to be the same making up my own prize basket and renting bright spotlights to pretend I'm in L.A. Poopies. Fact is, I really wanted to tell you in person that I ADORE your book and laughed like a crazy person all the way through. Thanks so much!

Hello--have been lurking awhile, and I live in Chicago. That being said, I was in Mission Viejo this past Saturday and my hubs mentioned he used to work at this Borders! We came by, but it was way too late. I am so bummed. I mean, the chances? The timing? And I was off by 3 measly hours. poo.
Hope you had fun!

rest assured, ladies, the book signing event was FAB, from the perspective of everyone sitting, listening and laughing. laurie is even more engaging & friggin funny in person. i even SNARFed when laughing, to my embarrassment.

my guess, is she's taking a well deserved break for a day or three or four.

thanks for a great saturday. enjoy your week, and little break from the cyber world, laurie. we can wait for more fun to come.

mck.

Thanks for a great reading and for not making me feel like a complete dork for going to a book signing - I was so nervous, isn't that retarded? You were great, thank you!
