Well, I'll take it. While I got a fair amount of exercise on my trip and only ate maybe two meals out of 15 that weren't close to my norm, I haven't exercised at all since getting back. So, maintaining is a win in my book.
Yesterday was my middle child's birthday and he is still far away in Sweden. He will be home in 6 weeks and I can't wait.
His favorite author scheduled a book signing in the Portland area (Oregon, that is) for May 29th and my son called me rather depressed that it was going to happen while he was so far away. Of course I volunteered to take the new book to get signed for him.
Wow, did I ever underestimate this guy's fan base! It was beyond crowded. We got there approx. an hour before the event was due to start and waited in a line to get a number and have them fill out sticky notes with what we wanted signed in the book. They sort of questioned whether the author would be willing to write what I requested, which was "Happy birthday to my favorite fan, Athan." I stuck to my guns.
He did a Q&A session, which I had difficulty hearing from outside the store (yes, the crowds reached out into the mall the Powell's bookstore was in). Still, I enjoyed talking to the people around me and I was accompanied by my stepdad who happened to be visiting.
At the end of the Q&A session the author (Jim Butcher) asked whether Ashley somethingorother was in the audience. She stood up and he asked her how she was doing. She said that she was rather embarrassed, actually. He responded that she was about to get a lot more embarrassed in a minute.
At that point her boyfriend got down on one knee and proceeded to propose marriage. She was so shocked. It was very sweet. That wouldn't be everyone's cup-of-tea as wedding proposals go, but if you're a huge fan, I can see it being pretty amazing.
As an aside, I have read every Dresden files book, as well as the series "The Codex Alera," so I am actually a pretty big fan myself. Unfortunately, when Jim Butcher was asked if he planned to write any more books for the "Alera" series he answered that he just has too many other irons in the fire right now. Boo.
The first 10 number range was announced around 7:45 and it was 250 away from my number. Yes, I was in for a LONG wait. In the end, I got my two books autographed and my picture taken with Jim Butcher at 9:45. Then, took my dad for a late night Arby's meal and got home around 11 pm. I have to work today, so I'm a bit tired, but I'm just grateful I was able to do this for my son.
