I know that I'm certainly looking forward to meeting so many Boomers at Book 'Em in October....I'll be so excited to share a table there with our Queen JJ and having a chance to chat in person with so many Boomer Babes. Dotsie enjoy your meeting with Danita tomorrow and Dee I'm sure you will enjoy meeting JJ at the signing.

I barly missed JJ in Tennesee this summer and I met Dotsie and Ross, in D.C. What a neat experience. Kind of like Christmas morning when you open the gifts that you have only seen in your imagination to find them even more wonderful than you imagined.
Dotsie is even sweeter in person than online and she and Ross are a darling couple.

Hey girls,

Well, she's a doll...just love her. She was, of course, on a computer when I sneaked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She has a lovely personality and I'm supposed to say she's really, really sexy looking. I bought her book and she signed it for me...I plan on selling it on ebay one day for a huge amount of money..LOL. For those of you who will be meeting our JAWJAW, you're going to love her. I wasn't able to meet with her as long as I would have liked to, but I felt like I'd met an old friend. I met Nancy and one of her friends from here in Mobile. It's a small world and my life has been so enriched since joining boomerwomenspeak.
Yes, it's fun meeting folks you only get to speak to via this venue...when you can put a face and voice to a typed message it's awesome. All I can say ladies, if you get a chance to meet one another, do it. It's a wonderful, maybe a once in a lifetime moment, well worth it. JAWJAW...you are awesome!!!!!!!

One more thing...to all you ladies who have made your dream of writing come true...I'm the one jealous...you are all awesome and I admire each and everyone of you. I love reading your inputs to the different forums and will slowly get around to reading your books and material. You ladies are wonderful and I love this web site.

Dee, I am so happy you are enjoying the site. I can't believe you met the queen. That's awesome. I'm sure she'll have something to say about meeting you when she gets back.

Yup, I met smile and her hubby and grandson. I posted about it when it happened. Nothing like meeting someone for the first time and feeling like you've been friends forever. We don't realize how much we share in here until we sit face to face with someone and begin talking. There were lots of, "Oh yeah, I remember that. You posted about it." It was great fun. Her name suits her.

Pam, I'm still working on Book 'Em. It's going to have to be a last minute decision, but it's on the calendar.

I met Danita yesterday. We talked for over two hours. Amazing. She is precious.

I already love JJ, though I'm 'way out West and am not sure we will ever meet. But I feel the love emanating all the way from her state to mine. And her book had me chuckling into the wee hours.

Love 'ya, gal,
Erica

I clicked on your web site...awesome...I cannot believe how many wonderful and talented women there are out there who share their love of writing. Congrats on your successes and maybe on day you will meet JJ. She's quite a character.

Yuhoooooooo...Honeyyyyy, I'm homeeeee...

Dee is the cutest thang. She's pretty inside and out. I can vouche for that! I was thrilled when she came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder! I was checking email (of course) in a coffee shop adjacent to the book store. I was so tickled! Although she didn't get to stay that long, we bonded immediately and I can't wait to see her again! I've been invited by another group to speak in February, so maybe we'll get to hook up again. I hope so!

I've told you all before, "DA Queen here, can't just have A DAY." Somepen's gonna happen. Well...on the way home today, the car in front of me ran over a piece of tire about the size of Texas that a semi truck had obviously blown and left on the highway. And...you guessed it. I couldn't do anything but run right over it myself. That wouldn't be so bad except I drive a VW Beetle. Oh yeah...tore that baby up too. I had to pull over and pull the broken parts off the front of the car and put them in the trunk. The Silver Bullet looks more like a spatula now. Nancy and I are fine, we were not hurt in the least, well...except for my pocketbook. I'll get the verdict tomorrow from my insurance company. Good Lord... but you know what? I wouldn't have missed that trip for anything in the world.

The women of Josephine, AL are absolutely awesome. There's no other way to put it. I was surrounded by love, warmth, and hey...they laughed exactly when they were suppose to during my speech so they have ALL been elevated to my expensive Christmas gift list. Not only that, the pictures they took don't even make me look like a basketball with teeth. I love those people! Oh...and they fed me. I almost didn't come home.

JJ

Of course they loved you. Who wouldn't? [Big Grin]

Glad you weren't hurt running over the tire. Musta been scarey though.

Re: Finally Going to Meet JAWJAW - 08/24/05 08:25 PM

Oh, I'm so glad you're okay! Wow. Leave it to you to have something like that happen. [Big Grin]

I'm so jealous that the Boomers are getting to meet. Perhaps I'll meet Brenda soon.

And JJ is sexy, huh??? Well, of course! Aren't we all????

Re: Finally Going to Meet JAWJAW - 08/24/05 09:53 PM

Does this mean we have to call her JJ The Sex Goddess now? Oh my.

JJ, when you are speaking and it's nearby give me a holler. I'd love to meet you there and hear you.

Re: Finally Going to Meet JAWJAW - 08/24/05 11:32 PM

JJ,
Those hunks on the road (not gorgeous men), but pieces of tires are called alligators down here...I guess because of the alligators in the area. I personally have never ever seen one one the road of off, but my husband says he sees them all the time when he's on his train going to and from New Orleans...he says they get on the rails to sun themselves, hear the train coming, open their mouths to growl at the noisy beast coming towards them and then kur-plumk-ker-plunk....train 1...gator zero. The weirdest thing my husband has hit with a train was refrigerator...then there's the time he hit a cement park bench...and one driver (thankfully not him) hit a porta pottie some teenagers put on the tracks...guess they wanted to see the poop fly...
I have no idea why I went off in that direction after hearing JJ talk about hitting a piece of a tire on the highway...guess that goes to show you...over 50 there's no telling where one ends up when one starts to talk about something...kindda reminds me of when I walk into a room and forgot what I went in there in the first place...go figure..
Anyway, JJ glad you're in one piece and I hope to have you down this way again soon. Next time I'll bring some of that coconut cake. I'm still reading and chuckling over your book...and thanks for signing it for me...I expect you to become really famous so I can get rich off it some day on ebay...

Love ya girl

Dee

I love you women. You always make my crown fit tight!

JAWJAW...how did you know? So you think 8 giant teabags to one gallon of water is a bit much for ice tea? huh....that explains a lot...

JJ you poor dear, you and cars don't seem to see eye to eye, geesh.....Please be careful you are not one of the people our world should or could do without.... [Eek!] Quit picking on those reptiles....
