Here it is, Oprah fans

I was checking my search engine tonight before bed (technically, I'm still operating on Sunday night even though it's 1 a.m. here in Chicago) and I noticed a bunch of you all looking for the post I wrote that is referenced in the O Magazine article.

So, here it is.

You wouldn't have found it searching here; I wrote it almost five years ago when I was still using Blogger. God, has it been five years?

You're all hysterical in your searching, by the way. I especially appreciated the persistent person from Australia who, after perhaps not finding what she was looking for, typed in the search box the following: "i shall stop being a rude nosey parkey now. sorry! :)" You, my dear, whomever you are, win the prize for my most favorite nosey parker EVER.

I want you all to know I've appreciated the kind words and encouragement and love I've received from people since the article came out. It's not beyond me that being featured in anything Oprah-related is the closest most people think you get next to God. This will sound more disingenuous than I mean for it to be, but I've tried not being too excited. Just the same, it's hard not to get a little star-struck. I'm human. And I love the Big O.

Ahem.

Today The Boy and I were at the store, finishing our purchases, when he looks over at the magazine rack and loudly exclaims, "Why honey! Isn't that the issue of Oprah's magazine that you're in?" Instead of thwacking him upside the head, I played along.

"Why yes, honey! It is!"

While no one cared but us, it was nice to let myself celebrate the moment. So, thanks for celebrating it along with me. You're all really nice to me and I don't forget that.

It was DEFINITELY exciting to see your name in print. I'd forgotten about the article, and all of a sudden I was reading it and was like, that is my friend Sometimes I love and worship Oprah, and sometimes I think she is a self-important windbag. It is a constant struggle. But either way, I'm proud of you, and you rock.

I had no idea about this, but I am so excited about it! You are a total rock star.

Hee! I've been meaning to email you about this - I caught the article when I was having a pedicure last weekend, and I shouted, "Hey! I know this person!"

Great post...I had no idea about the article and didn't search for it, but It rings very true for me for a variety of reasons and I'm very glad I read it today. And if I were in O Magazine, I'd so completely enjoy it. ; ) I'll have to check out that article.

That's fantastic, congrats! Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere on the website - I'll have to keep an eye out for the magazine the next time I hit the store.
