Chelsea, my late night friend

Anyone who knows me, knows I work late into the night. During these late night hours, Chelsea Handler keeps me company. E! has her on twice a night & reruns never bother me. I think she's just as funny a second & third time around! When I heard Chelsea was coming to our local bookstore, Rainy Day Books, I knew I'd be lining up! We even made her fat dog, Chunk, one of our new PuppyMats.
Waiting in line with my friend Erin, great blogger!

Chelsea greeting everyone by name - nice touch, even if it was just reading the PostIt!

Chelsea loving her new La Plates PuppyMat - happy dining Chunk!

Not sure if Chris Franjola was suppose to make it in the store, but women were surrounding him for photos outside.

Rainy Day Books

We are so fortunate to have a bookstore in our town that is owned by residents of our community that care about our community - Rainy Day Books. "Rainy Day Books, Inc., opened its doors in The Fairway Shops in November 1975. Since then, Rainy Day Books has provided the Greater Kansas City community with a gathering place, a wellspring for creative thoughts and ideas, and an ongoing voice for awareness, involvement and literacy."

I caught myself going on and on about Rainy Day's Author Events the other day. I attended my first Author Event last Spring when Laura and Jenna Bush came to town for a book signing. It was such a great way to meet them and Rainy Day made it possible for every person to meet and greet the women.

Next week, Laura Numeroff will be doing a book signing for her new book - a favorite series in our household!
And on October 30th, a personal favorite, Ina Garten will be signing and hopefully giving tips from her newest cookbook. We've already designed a platter from La Plates for her...think she'll give me any secrets?!If you are interested in attending an Author Event, Rainy Day Books sells tickets online or in their store. With your ticket to the event, you also receive a copy of the book to be signed. Go experience a Rainy Day event first hand!
