Both Holly and I are members of the fabulous Celtic Hearts Romance Writers online chapter and were able to meet many of our fellow members at the Meet & Greet that the chapter had. It was a lot of fun. Here's some pics:
Corrina Goentzel (aka Corrina Cowen) and Dona, who I can't remember her last name - sorry Dona!! - are pictured here. They did a great job arranging the meeting. It was a blast!Holly and I really enjoyed meeting Corrina - she's a great person and a ton of fun to hang out with. We had a fantastic time at Medieval Times Restaurant with her - but I'll tell you more about that later!
OK - so on to Embarrassing Moment #2!
It was our second night there, Thursday night, almost midnight. I've got my comfy jammies on - boxer shorts and a t-shirt, when suddenly the alarm in the hotel goes off telling everyone to immediately evacuate the hotel. Lights are flashing, the whole nine yards - and it's also telling us to not ride the elevators. Mind you - we're 10 STORIES UP!! So, I grabbed a sweater - fortunately - and Holly and I hit the stairs! Yeah, not fun at all. Some other lady was with us too hoofing it down the million steps that we had to - not sure what her name was though. Of course, both her and Holly were dressed. Nope, not me!! So, here I am in all my jammie glory outside of the hotel at midnight:
Just luscious huh? Thank Holly for this wonderful view! Anyways, fortunately, it was nothing serious and about 10 minutes later, we were able to go back inside. Mind you, half of the hotel didn't even hear the alarm and were still inside - but there were many others in their jammies and moo-moos outside with us!
Here's me & Holly again at one of the luncheons that we went to. I really enjoyed listening to Lisa Kleypas speak at one of the luncheons. She was very inspiring.
Here's C.J. Barry (aka Samantha Graves) another member from Central NY Romance Writers chapter (CNYRW), at one of the publisher-hosted booksignings:

Hi Shannon!! Great pictures and posts! Oh, and just ask Kari and I about Jammie shots! is there a story there? You bet your swamp ass there is! (ha!) You thought I'd forget that one, huh.
We loved hanging with you and Holly! Need to do more of that. You guys were so much fun!
I've got to catch up with my blog posts too. I couldn't fit all the pictures in one post!
Can't wait to see those knights again. (yum)
See! I knew you'd be glad I took that pic of you during the emergency evacation that didn't need to happen. :-)
I'm still laughing...
And when we got off the elevator on the wrong floor... really when you retell the story (such as I have) it doesn't sound funny at all. But it was at the time. It's like our own little world in Dallas that no one but the 2 of us can truly appreciate...
Thank God I didn't have to go outside in MY jammies. Been there, done that, and it ain't pretty!!! But you look cute no matter what you're dressed in!!!
Love the pics. You guys are soooo much fun. Can't wait to see you at another meeting.
