Today we are welcoming Rachael from The Little Birdie Blog. Rachael comes to us from the great state of Texas. I’ve never been there personally, but I hear everything is big in Texas. So I asked my buddy Tom Selleck, and his mustache to put together a big Texas welcome for her. Because Tom spent quite a few years starring in Westerns, he felt very qualified to come up with something wonderful to make Rachael feel at home. In fact, he put on his best chaps and cowboy hat and headed off in the limo about 10 minutes ago to pick her up from the airport. I have to tell you, that I was totally impressed. My buddy Tom cleans up nicely.
But as luck would have it, it seems that Oprah is having Justin Bieber on her show this week. Which would totally not be an issue for me if not for the fact that her staff put out a rumor that he would be using my Green Room.
Why, you ask? Well, let’s just say its a little diversion tactic as Mr. Bieber seems to be a huge draw of crazy fanatical fandom. Rather than have her studio surrounded by screaming, hyper-ventilating pre-teens, Oprah sent them my way. Great. Now I have screaming, hyper-ventilating pre-teens and their screeching, crazy-eyed mothers surrounding my studio.
I tried to divert Tom and Rachael at the last moment, but it was too late. The crowd roared to a frenzy as the limo pulled up, the screeching and clamoring became so intense that all my dogs ran with their tails between their legs and hid under the pillows in the couch. Well, the two chihauhaus did anyway. The poor shepherd can only get her front end in there.
Tom naturally assumed the crowd was there to greet him and exited the vehicle gallantly, putting his cowboy hat on and bowing to the crowd. And then there was silence as he and Rachael made their way inside. Knowing that this would only be a short reprieve, I quickly shut the door and threw the deadbolt. I knew we only had moments before they realized that he was just a little too tall to be Bieber. And had a mustache…
Poor Rachel looks a bit frazzled, so I’ll take her in my office for the interview.
Tom, do not open that door! I’m telling you that none of them are familiar with Quigley Down Under. None of them.
Suzy: When and why did you start blogging, and where would you like your blogging to lead?
Suzy: Can you tell us a few things that most folks don’t know about you?
Suzy: Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches are good too….just saying…
Rachael: I always enjoy the copycat crafts, and things that are useful or make like easier. However, right now I’m really into sewing, so those are the ones that are catching my eye most often. I kind of go through phases though where I’m really stuck on one kind of thing… for instance, around the holidays, I thought for sure my husband was going to move me out into the garage if I made one more wreath to hang in the house!
Suzy: I know you have a very busy life. I also know first hand how time-consuming a good blog is. And you have a successful Etsy business too! How do you schedule it all in?
Thank you so much for coming by, Rachael! Please be sure to take a few moments and check out Rachael’s blog, The Little Birdie Blog and her Etsy shop, Little Birdy Baby Shop. You will find so many unique, thoughtful items for baby.
Well, Rachael, I have to somehow get you out of here. Tom has been pushing furniture in front of the door for a while now as the deadbolt didn’t hold and we currently have much flailing of arms and screeching as crazy moms are trying to shove their daughters through the crack in the door. Tom is just a bit panicked, I’m afraid. Even his mustache is disheveled.
Luckily, I prepared for such an event years ago and installed an underground tunnel which leads directly to Oprah’s studio. Up until now, it has only been used to bring in her stash of “favorite things” and provide an escape route for Steadman when Oprah’s having a bad day. We’ll go that way.
And remember, if you and your blog would like to join the party, please email me at myers6281(at)hotmail.com. I am always looking for new guest stars. And just think of all the awe in your friends and family’s eyes when you tell them you were actually on a sitcom! Well, maybe a sitcom in my mind, but let’s not get too literal.
