True Confessions

Ok, so here it is... i'm a total geek, not to mention a bit of a hypocrite.  I'm sure I mentioned at some point that I emailed Jen Lancaster, funny author of the books I have been going on about, regarding one of her extremely, pee your pants, blogs that she wrote.  Honestly, right now I can't remember the topic however I know it was so funny that I could not stop laughing. Well, regardless of my "no beer blogging" rule, I emailed her to express my appreciation for her humour etc, etc.  And then promptly forgot I even emailed her. Well, the other day I was a working away and heard my blackberry a buzzin. Opened the desk drawer, pulled out the magical device and what? I got an email from Jen Lancaster? Weird. How did she find me? I thought for a brief moment that one of my pals must have sent my blog to her. Oh wow.  I had a moment of "holy crap" and then I read the reply (of course at this point I had still completely forgotten that I emailed her) and read: " So glad you like my work! Thanks for writing. Jen" Huh. Put Blackberry back in purse and thought about it for a few minutes. Ummmm, is this the email equivalent of a form letter? Seriously, she did sign it: Jen. Does that mean she is open to further communication? Oh I am such a geek. Is there a Geek Award? I spent the rest of the day wondering what possessed me to write to a book author however, I must confess, I still have not deleted the email from my Blackberry. Whatever. If you need a good chuckle - here is a link to her blog: http://www.jennsylvania.com/
