Glenn Beck





Okay, so for those of you who don't know, I obviously have an infatuation with Glenn Beck. I have to prepare you for what you are about to read seems pretty nerdy I know. So I listen to fox news every morning on am radio (dork, I know). Glenn Beck has a program on from 9-11. But before him is Mandy Connell. She was asking a trivia question about Glenn Beck on the radio. The first caller with the correct answer gets a signed copy of his new book, "The Christmas Sweater." I was that person. I called in and got the answer right and went to pick up my signed book later that morning. I couldn't wait to read it. I read it in two days. Well this morning I hear that Glenn Beck decided to come to Fort Myers for a book signing. He is doing a show in Tampa tonight in which the tickets sold out. So I drive right over to the book store and waited in line to meet him and have him sign my already signed book again. I was number 259. When he arrived, he said that he will not: personalize signatures, pose for a photo, or shake hands. One arm was signing while the other was in a sling. (I missed why) So when I finally got up there. I snatched a pic with my phone. He started talking to me and I was such in awe, I don't even remember what he said. And he didn't really talk to anyone except for a , "Hi." Well one of his team members almost gave my book to the person in front of me until I noted, "I believe that one is mine, it has already been signed once." Then Glenn put down his marker and came around to shake my hand. I explained to him how I already had it signed and he replied, "God bless you." along with a wink. We had a moment, I know. So I was so excited afterwards, I made a few phone calls and not one person even knew who he was. That was dissapointing. Well whatever, it made my day! Those of you who don't know should get in the know!

I was there too #289? I think! And I'm still in awe.

Remember when Sarah Palin came to Germaine Arena? Yeah, I was the one who made plans to see her as soon as the news hit that she was coming. So I got my tickets and just couldn't wait to see her. IT was so worth it to wait in line for two hours as long as I was going to see Sarah Palin.

I was one of the ones who wasn't allowed in.

Totally fine now. I'm so over it. :) I just saw Glenn Beck!

And for his book, The Christmas Sweater, I had to hold the book up to my face so my family wouldn't see me crying. It was great and I too read it in two days.

By the way, did you get the little bookmark they gave away at his book signing?

I was hoping to see "The Christmas Sweater" but it was sold out.

You probably already know you can go there and find theaters showing it.
