Paula Deen Live!

Mom flew into town so that we could go to the Music Hall at Fair Park to see Paula Deen Live. It was her birthday and Mother's Day present from me. We had so much fun! It was so nice to have an afternoon with just Mom.

Paula is even crazier in person than she is on her shows! Her mind is in the gutter most of the time so that was pretty entertaining in itself. I wish that she had signed autographs afterward, but I know that she comes to town from time to time to do book signings so that may be why.

I knew my friend Kristy was also going to see Paula. We had talked earlier in the week about calling each other when we got there to see where the other was sitting. She called my cell phone at 10:45 while I was shopping with Mom and the kids at Firewheel. I almost had a stroke right there in the Carter's store. Apparently Paula had an 11:00 show and a 4:00 show. I called Lorne at home and asked him to please tell me that our tickets were for later that day because there would be no way for us to make it to the show in time. Mom and I had tickets to the afternoon show and it never occurred to us that there was more than one show! I told Mom that if I'd screwed up and made her miss Paula I would not only buy her another ticket but also fly her to the new city so that she could see her!

I figured most everyone there had an extra five pounds thanks to Paula Deen...myself included!


Paula's son Bobby and husband Michael also made the trip.
