I use that word loosely, because most people don''t think of politicians as famous.  I however, dont get out much.

Most folks who know me IRL know where I stand with politics. 

Well, most folks who don't know me IRL know where I stand with politics. 

But it seems, for some odd reason, that I only find myself meeting the folks who I have…uh… maybe not supported in the past.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention, this representative was entirely gracious and kind.

For anyone who doesn't live in Minnesota or North Dakota, this is probably not going to mean anything to you.  My apologies.

This is me and Minnesota State Senator Amy Klobuchar.

I got to meet her Sunday morning when I did my little baking segment.

Here is a link if you would like to watch.

Meeting Tom Halden was so fun… he had me doubled over laughing out loud.

Although, that might have been as direct result of the sugar rush he got by eating the sweetest dessert known to mankind at 9:45 in the morning.

Just sayin.

I am just so grateful that they gave me an opportunity to do this.   Thank you!

  1. Lynette was right, You are FUNNY! I’m stopping by from Lynette’s to say Hi and congratulate you on being the featured blogger. I have really enjoyed my visit. You made me smile more than once and, like Lynette, it’s just what I needed today. I will be stopping by frequently. BTW, I also really liked your hair style… it didn’t look stiff at all.

  2. Stopping by via Lynette’s “Getting to Know You”… congratulations on being this week’s featured blogger!
    I have to tell you…. I so LOVE your humor! Just reading back through a few of your recent posts… well I am hooked! I will be back to visit more, for sure!
    By the way, I think your hairdo is lovely… just like you 🙂

  3. Just came by from Lynette’s blog. I have to tell you that I think your hair would look just like Lauren Conrad’s if you grew your bangs out. I did like how your hair looked on the fox news clip. Anyway you’re very funny and courageous in speaking your truth and I plan to keep checking in here.

  4. Just stopping in from Lynnette’s blog. Will be lloking around, so don’t be surprised if you have a random fish commenting on your blog.

  5. Amanda:
    Lynnette sent me, and I have to say I’ve truly enjoyed reading your blog this evening. I like your style and your thoughts. The segments on your local show were fun. How cool is that?
    I’ve printed out the recipe for those cinnamon cookies (that’s my husband’s favorite flavor of all time), and plan to make those soon. I was a cupcake maniac for Valentine’s Day, so we still have some frosting ingredients in the house. Yum!
    Thanks for sharing your life and those amazing pics of your kids. Those blue eyes are gorgeous!

  6. Visiting from Lynnette’s, Wow that is so cool you meeting all those people now I’m off to read more of your post!

  7. I am a Minnesotan!!
    One time I was at s fabric store and ran into a Care 11 news person and babbled a bunch of goofy things because I was so exited. I think I was a few feet behind Prince once too but I am not totaly sure about that. Those were my two brushes with fame. Ok not including Casey Jones when I was little.
    I enjoy your blog!
    Warmly,
    Tina
    I’m stopping by from Lynnett’s blog.
