Norwich City Goal Keeper, Declan Rudd
When I was younger,
I dreamed big
and didn't see the hurdles other people saw.
A friend and I called Pat Benatar's agent,
and asked if she would consider playing
at our High School Prom.
We weren't discouraged when kindly told she wasn't available.

We called for Thin Lizzy too.
Neither were at our dance.
Now I am older
and I don't dream as big
Midfielders Darel Russell and Simon Lappin
but I also don't see the invisible lines
that may have been drawn between
celebrities, sports stars and
me.
Huge thanks to the Hubby who was good enough
to take a picture of his wife drooling over Simon
(and where did those kids come from? This was supposed to be MY photo)
Because of that,
I have more fun
than the women who don't take risks.
Have you stepped out of your comfort zone lately?
Look how cute you are! I love asking for autographs, but my preferences run to authors. Asking them to pose with little ceramic cows. Wanna feel daring? Carry around some cows, or a purse monkey, and ask celebrities to post with them. That's FUN.
ReplyDeleteFor the record? No one the cows have posed with has been nearly as drool-worthy as Simon.
How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Pat turned you down:)
well done!
ReplyDeleteoh crap. i think i just drooled on my keyboard.
Now is that cool or what! Great pictures. How DID those kids get in there? Looks like you had big fun. :D
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you the time I was at the Fresh Market in Ponte Vedra Beach picking up groceries and this flashy albeit diminutive woman in big sunglasses came swishing by me? That in itself is not rare in PVB, but there was just something about her...
ReplyDeleteI finished my shopping and queued up in line for a cashier. Who do you suppose was in front of me? Yep. Flashy lady - this time with sunglasses on top of her head. The minute she spoke to the cashier it was like - BOING - instant recognition! I was behind Pat Benetar. In a freaking grocery store! As soon as she signed her charge slip (another indicator) the bagger asked if she needed help out with the groceries. "Nah. I'm a tough old broad, I can manage," she replied.
As soon as she walked out, I asked my cashier if she knew who that lady was. Blank stare. No? It was PAT BENETAR your idiot! She pulled the credit slip back out of her drawer and sure enough... big as day... Pat Benetar on the signature line.
What are the chances?
If I had only known about your high school prom situation, I would have mentioned it to her and just maybe she would have shown up for your next reunion.
True story.
You are beautiful! BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteIt's you who's the star. Going out of your comfort zone would be setting up your own autograph signing session...
ReplyDeleteI love those pics and I love this post!!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, he is yummy! I actually like this pic more than the one above with just him by himself. Maybe 'cause you're in the shot too!
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your title question:
Yes, I think we know when we've crossed the line. Licking my computer screen everytime I see Hugh Jackman is a pretty good indicator that I have a problem.
Ugh. I'm just getting worse all the time. I guess I was answering the title question from your next post!
