Meeting Pioneer Woman...Ree Drummond!

It's been an eventful Monday. This weekend while Husband and I were in Sewickley, we stepped into the bookstore that was set to have Ree Drummond, or Pioneer Woman, to come to do a book signing. I knew she was supposed to come do a signing on her tour, but I had no idea when or where. It was unfortunate though, because it was in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, and at 4:00PM {which is during my working hours}. Husband talked me into giving it a shot, and going after work in the hopes that she's still be there. She was!
And, she brought her adorable family with her! 
I arrived at 5:30PM, and got in the LONG line. {Pittsburgh showed up for PW!} I was #246. Husband drove in from Warrendale, and joined me about 10 minutes later. As we waited, we saw the three kids skip out to get Mom a coffee at Starbucks across the street. What good kids. ;)
As we made out way to the front door, Ladd's hat came into view. 
I'm so happy to see someone I know...from TV! 
He was greeting folks and signing "his page" in the cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier {p. 152}. It was a relief to see a family member!
 We then entered back into the line:
Then, climbed up the stairs to the kid's section...
And, there she was!
I gabbed about us moving from Texoma Land to PGH, and she asked how we were liking it. I said I didn't miss the 100+ degree weather, and she said she might come join us! Such a lovely person. 
I brought out the sorority pose for this one. You only have one shot!
 {Thanks for staying HOURS after you were due at Primanti Bros., Ree! You're a trooper!}
 Hands down, best book signing! {I hope she remembers me?}

Quick Weekend Update & Poll Results

As far as weekends go, this one has been pretty nice. Husband had Friday off work, so we went out to get our PA driver's licenses, get the Jetta registered, open a PNC bank account, get me a new interview suit that fits, and grocery shop a bit. We're becoming official!
Saturday and today we're getting things done around the house. Nothing like doing a little "Winter but it seems like Spring" cleaning!

Since you've all been waiting on pins and needles, I'm going to share the final results from my poll on what types of posts y'all prefer to read. {Side note: this query all started from noticing that I got a ton of traffic from my TV show posts, but no resulting comments.} Without further ado:

{Poll Results:}
Pittsburgh 84%  {Winner!}
Recipe 69%
Lifestyle 61%
What I Wore Today 53%
Restaurant 53%
Crafting 53%
Fitness 46%
TV Show 23%

So, it seems I'm going in the right direction with my usual posting topics. I'm dropping the TV posts, and keeping the amount of fitness posts {only a few so far!}. Thanks again for reading, and look forward to more Pittsburgh-specific posts!

Also on today's agenda {AKA a link frenzy!}:

How is your weekend going?
