I met Pioneer Woman!

It was such a thrill to meet Ree Drummond, aka Pioneer Woman, at her booksigning in Dallas last night.  She is every bit as lovely in person as she is on her blog, and her family is pretty cute too.  Her blog, http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/, is filled with great recipes, amazing photography, giveaways and stories of their life at the ranch. It was a long wait - 7 hours - and when I left after 11:00, there were still a couple hundred people in line.  I don't know how she does it.

The crowd was mostly young 30-something women and everyone was so friendly and enthusiastic.  There really wasn't any moaning about the long lines, we all just started chatting, discussing why we love PW so much, how sweet her stories are, how beautiful the photography and how fun and delicious the recipes.  The group near me bonded - we talked about returning next year for a reunion!  There was a lot of Valentine's Day love for Pioneer Woman!
