Cross this off my bucket list: I "met" The Bloggess. Insert huge slightly insane grin and wild laughter. And I also met and photographed Copernicus and Juanita:
I am still pee pants excited that last night we met Jenny Lawson. She read a hysterical chapter from her new book:

| See how mine is different from the ones on the shelf because it has my NAME on it? *giddy smile* |
I had planned all these smart things to say to her when I finally got my three seconds with her. Instead I just gazed at her and mumbled something incredibly obvious and ridiculous like, "Um, ah, I really like your blog. Um, ah. And you're so funny. Uh-huh." And she was incredibly graceful and looked at me with quiet patience and a lovely smile.
Now I am going to recover by doing some laundry. And, oh, if I die today - it's okay. Mission accomplished.

Hi Monica, I found your blog thru your comment on my Scary Mommy guest post ("I am my Mother..."). Love your blog! Looking forward to reading more. I can totally relate to your meeting of the Blogess, as I recently got the chance to meet Jill Smokler at a signing. I had all these things I had planned on saying to her. Sigh....
