The night was finally here. My heart was pounding every time I even
thought about it. It was finally going
to happen. I had waited almost 30 years
for this! My worlds had collided….what
luck! My autism hero, Jenny McCarthy,
had married my teenage heartthrob Donnie Wahlberg from NKOTB, and tonight I was going to meet
him! I wasn’t sure when he would arrive
at the party, but my eyes darted in a perfectly planned circular pattern around
the room over and over until I was feeling dizzy.
Then mid-spin, I saw
him across the room. No, not Donnie, but there stood J.
Peterman from Seinfeld. I knew he had a
real name, but that was not important. I plowed through the crowd toward him and asked the pretty lady he was standing
next to if she would take our picture.
“Sure,” she said as she gracefully and kindly took more than a few
shots. It was important that she got my best
side. :)
Wonder why J. Peterman looks less than mildly amused? It wasn’t because he finally figured out that Elaine was
Suzie and Suzie was Elaine in one of my favorite episodes. No. It was because it was his real life wife that I asked
to take our picture.
After that meeting, I knew that my oil blog needed
to be as silly as a J. Peterman Catalog.
And yes, I did meet Donnie Wahlberg that night. I did talk to him just long enough to ask him to take one awful, flashless, star struck, amateur selfie with me!
