to get...how to get to sesame streeeet...
So, today about an hour into Roscoe Orman doing signing for his new book, Sesame Street Dad, a memoir, I went up to him with a fellow co-worker. Holly then was told she would need to purchase the book before he could sign in it. There I was, by my lonesome, so I said to him:
'I just wanted to thank you for being a positive influence in my life, growing up'
I automatically started tearing up and said, 'Sorry, im a bit of a crybaby':-p
He said, "Aww...come here."
He then got up and gave me an official "sesame street hug". You'd know what I mean, if you watched it as a kid.;-)
He then asked what my name was and I replied, 'Jennifer'. He then told me that he liked the area and remembers when southlake mall was around(now its changed names, etc.) He then asked if I liked working at Barnes & Noble, and I said...
'Why..it's a positive environment! I like it alot.'
He then said something along the lines that books are wonderful and I agreed.
HE IS A REALLY NICE GUY!!!
He thank me for the pleasure of my introduction and I went on with my work day. I was working in the kid's section of Barnes today, so it was a bit funny that it had a similar theme to the day. My legs are ACHING, so I will probably soak a bit later on. *sighs*
4 and 1/2 days until Jassen is here!!! Let the good times roll!!!

Good one jen. Have you read this book? I'd like to.
No, I havent. I would like to get it, but money I don't personally have much of and I'd rather save my money up for loans that I owe and gas and christmas gifts for people.:-S So, what may happen is that I will read the book on breaks or if I pop in the store to sit down and read.:-p
Book signing/reading usually tells me alot about the author. Positive/Fake/Moody/Elitist/Genuine/decent/whatever. I know its hard to tell, in that '5' minutes you get talking to them. But first impressions 'are' important. I remember meeting William Gibson and thinking, 'Man...this guys a real 'bleep'. I'm glad you had a good experience.
