Even though I don't totally agree with Sarah Palin's politics, I love her "real womaness" and appreciate that she makes her supporters feel like "friends". As well, your tenacity rocks. You're a superstar! I'll get back to you with Beth Moore's digits. :) xoxo, Melinda What a fun experience for you.

You crack me up! I was just bragging to my hubby last night that Sarah Palin called me yesterday. In my best Alaskan accent I re-lived her encouraging me to vote...oh...that was a recording that probably thousands of others heard yesterday...oh well! So...guess my phone call from Palin doesn't compare to your shaking her hand...you go girl! ~giggles~ I love it!! You crack me up!

I wasn't first!?!? I didn't even get out of my car and head around to the front because the doors weren't supposed to open until around noon. Good for you and your daughter! I didn't realize how tiny she was until I shook her hand yesterday. I'm not big either, but I felt like I was going to crush her with my grip! Did she recognize you this time? You guys are almost like Grateful Dead fans, traveling around. I'd do it too if she were going to be close again. Oh my gosh! I wasn’t first!?!?

I was there too, but I have to take issue with one tiny thing. When my daughter and I arrived just before 7am, there was another lady and her sister from Sylvester already there and sitting in their car next to where we parked. The staff people let us in because we were standing outside at the door (because my daughter insisted on guarding her "first in line" status) and they must've felt sorry for us freezing out there. We did go to Perry the night before and stayed in a hotel, though, which was maybe an unfair advantage over you in that respect. This was our second visit to a Sarah rally. We also went to Jacksonville on 10-7-08, where we arrived just before 5am. In both cases, we were on the front row on the rail, and in both cases we got to meet Sarah and have pictures with her. She is absolutely beautiful, inside and out!! Oh, and the pants were sparkly, but it was actually a metallic-type thread running through the black pants. They were beautiful (but not as beautiful as she is) but whatever size they were is a size I must've skipped on my way up to my current size. She is teeny-tiny, probably wears about a size zero, or maybe a two! And I must've missed the shoes, too, because I just don't remember seeing them. You would think we would have noticed that. Here's hoping we get another opportunity to meet her, maybe on her NEXT round of campaigning (2012 for President, maybe)! This was a great day.

This is too funny!!! You knew I would enjoy this one. You know, If Sarah was visiting close by I think I would have to go see her just to hear what she had to say...... and blog about it. I'm glad you got your photo taken with the Governor of Alaska and not the VP Elect of the United States ;) Great accomplishment, though! You should definitely be proud of those 'first' skills! I don't have those but I do have 'push through the crowd' skills. Haha! This is too funny!!! You knew I would enjoy this one.

I am a groupy kind of person..., but now I know next time who to call...the girl that shoves to the front of the line with a smile on her face!!!! YOU! I hope you told her that a friend of yours from church would have been right there hovering--if it had not been for it being the beginning of the month...and that silly billing cycle!

You topped that big-time AND your house stayed nice the whole time (you had the girls with!)--I shall live vicariously through you instead of emulating you though--I'm the girl who lets the little old lady with 3 things into the line ahead of me :D although...the chick behind you? I would TOTALLY have "lost my balance" and stepped backward HARD (hoping fr toes)--then I would appologize about losing my balance because someone bumped me and it's oh so bad we are so crowded and noone can have enough personal space because of shoving from behind....I have a KILLER pair of western-looking shoes with nice little boot heels and pointy toes for good measure. Most likely I would have been the one who offered to stay home and watch everyones little kids for them so they could have a good time--YOU would have brought me a really cool souvenier too (I have a Dr.s for Bush sign in my attic-you would have managed some chocolate I bet--you are cool like that!)
