Shelli Does Dallas
Well, I’m back from Dallas and I never met Debbie. But here’s who I did meet. A ton of really fabulous people!
I networked like there was no tomorrow. I am, and have been for a year and a half now, a die hard Romance Diva. My first Nationals I was attached at the hip to them and rarely left the bar. This year I made it my goal to meet new people, and lots of them. (Though of COURSE I still hung with my Divas for parts!) The thing I’m most proud of doing is being confident (or faking it) and introducing myself to agents and editors. Is it so wrong to want to put a face/personality with the people I’m querying? I used to have a fear of this, so bear with me. But in the end, they were all lovely people.
So, as you know or maybe don’t, the only other Spice girl I’d ever met was Lillian. And this week I got to know Amie and Karen in person–we are like blood sisters online. I love them!!
Well here I go, summing up the week:
Fire ants are terrible roommates and take up all the window space. I think a few even snuck into my bag to come home. 
Hotel food turns your stomach into a washing machine on spin cycle. 
I must make future plans to room with another morning person (though I love Emma P to death!) 
Amie loves waking you up at 6:20-7:30am in the morning with a phone call asking, “Hey, are you awake?” 
Karen is freaking hilarious and we have some hilarious similarties I dare not confess to the entire web. 
Feisty is just a crazy and kinky witch. 
And our Naughty and Spice Promo blow pops went FAST. Those suckers were popular. 
There really aren’t any cowboys in downtown Dallas. 
Women in Dallas don’t necessarily have big hair because they want it big, it’s from the humidity (seriously, I thought they just liked it big). 
Never trust a 21 year old waiter who knows JUST the fruity drink to recommend to you and your friends. Can you say schlockered? Is that a word? Or maybe I should just be blunt and say drunk.
I promise a more coherent less tired post next week. I’m still recovering.

The fire ants came home! For goodness sake.
You know how nearly everyone had a sore throat? I think that place was mold infested too.
Hey, can y’all link me on the sidebar? I think I may steal your group blog sidebar. I keep meaning to do that on mine. Would make blogsurfing so much easier!

Oh Shelli you make me laugh! I love you!
Even when we are morning girls, there is a certian hour when morning begins, and not a minute before then!
