So my friend Emily invited me to this book signing last night at our local bookstore. I had been looking forward to it all weekend because it was billed as a "Girl's Night Out" with discussion, and best of all, wine. I borrowed a copy of the book from her and got about 1/2-way through it before the event.
It was a lot of fun. The author, Eileen Cook (www.eileencook.com) was super--down-to-earth, honest and really funny. I was psyched for her because she got a great turnout; even a couple men showed up. Eileen's book is called "Unpredictable", and it's a fun look at the lengths one (slightly crazy) woman will go to in order to get her guy back. It's a really nice "after-a-long-day-at-work" kind of read. I ended up buying a copy and getting it signed. I never buy books; I just borrow them from libraries or friends. But Eileen had such a great personality I decided to break down and get one. Plus, they had a really nice Pinot Noir that I got a second helping of; they were not stingy at all on the wine. They offered me a third helping but I was the designated passenger and didn't want to fall asleep on Emily while she drove me home.
Tomorrow is Adam's birthday for anyone who is reading this and is interested. He's being really nonchalant about it, but I'm going to make him his fave dinner and a cake or pie or something. Okay, I don't do pies (except my famous cry-over-how-poorly-my-crust-comes-out apple pie). So maybe I'll make him his favorite--rice pudding--instead. He doesn't ever read my blog so he'll be the last to know about his birthday surprise!
