I saw the red convertible zip by me.
It was going fast...
...zippety fast...
..and from the corner of my eye I glimpsed a round-faced grey bearded driver.
I saw the Mercedes emblem on the back of the car.
Wow.
WOW!
Could it be?
Yes! Yes!
It was Paula Deen's husband!
The Captain!
OMG! OMG!
OMG! OMG!
In the passenger seat I could see Paula Deen's trademark big, silver hair blowing like crazy.
OMG! OMG!
What the heck was Paula Deen and her husband doing driving in my city?!?
Man, oh man!
I was excited!
I could see the light turning red up ahead.
OMG! OMG!
I was going to pull up beside Paula Deen and her husband!
I watched that silver hair blowing and blowing.
I tried to get my cell phone ready to take a casual picture when I pulled up beside them.
OMG! OMG!
I pulled up beside the shiny red Mercedes convertible!
Yes! YES!
It was a round-faced grey bearded driver!
Holy cow!
I raised my cell phone...
However.
However.
Instead of Paula Deen sitting in the passenger seat it was a sheep dog!
OMG! OMG!
The silver hair blowing and blowing in the wind was...
a...
sigh...
sheep dog.
The round-faced grey bearded driver glanced at me...
...in my truck...
... with my window down and my cell phone up...
...gulp!...
I pretended like I was just looking for cell signal and glanced away.
Quickly.
As the light turned green, the Mercedes zoomed away from me...
...and darned if it still didn't look like the back of Paula Deen's head.
Sigh.
Blush.
No celebrity sighting here.
Just a big hangdog, sheepish sigh-ing.
...
...
sigh...
OH how funny:) I love Paula Deen and couldn't wait to see that picture:) Have a blessed Day dear Jenny, HUGS!
ReplyDeletethats freaken funny! I wonder if paula dean has a sheep dog!
ReplyDeletehappy monday!
xoxo
I know she can cook but I have NEVER met anyone who talks like she does and I've heard many from the South...I live in the South.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she worries about her exaggerated accent all the way to the bank.
You crack me up!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, it COULD have been her (she?), at least until it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteJenny thank you for the big smile on my face! This cracks me up and I needed that on this cold Monday morning! Hope the move is going well. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much I needed to read this today. LOL
ReplyDeleteI checked in for a minute, and I must say that I'm glad I did.
Love you, lady, whether you mistake sheep dogs for Paula Dean or not. Actually, ESPECIALLY because you mistake sheep dogs for Paula.
XO,
Sheila
That's just hysterical -- I wonder if Paula Dean will read this post....
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was Paula Deen traveling incognito. You should have said SPEAK to the dog to find out if she barked with an accent.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
too funny!! I love the sheepdog image.. would imagine that was one happy pooch too ;) -Tammy
ReplyDeletewell sometimes you just crack me up
ReplyDeleteHahahaha...nicely done. Celebrity sightings, real and imagined, do make us a little excited.
ReplyDeletehahaha
ReplyDeleteNever a dull moment in your life, Jenny. And that's just one of the lovable things about you...
=)
DOG gon'net girl, I feel your disappointment! Shhhhh, your secret is safe with me, I promise I won't breathe a word to Paula or the Captain. Heeehehehe!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!
'Got the Angel Valentine. :o) She was not a church yesterday but I'll make sure she gets it. Your a treasure!
Thanks!
God bless and you have yourself one fabulous week sweetie!!! :o)
Oh, way, way too funny!
ReplyDeleteDarn, Darn Darn!
M :)
Ha ha too funny! You're a nut. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ! Ha! This is one time I'd say she's totally adorable!
ReplyDeleteHaha. That's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteIf Paula ever reads this, she won't be happy to hear she looks like a sheepdog from behind! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny post! Enjoyed a laugh with you this morning!
ReplyDeleteahhhh..I love sheepdogs!
ReplyDeletetoo bad it wasn't Paula though...
I was starting to get so excited for you. I bet the dog would have been great to meet too.
ReplyDeleteHowling with laughter here.
ReplyDeleteYou shoulda taken the photo!
You will never again see a sheepdog in a red Mercedes~~
Jenny came by to say hi after being mia for a bit- loved your story- I wouldn't even have know it was Paula Dean's husbands car if he drove up next to me! I am so clueless about things like that!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy reading your newest adventure!
bee blessed
mary
OMG. You are so hilarious! Great story. Anything's possible, right, but a sheepdog and not Paula?
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I am actually impressed you recognized them. I would never recognize either of them. And some shaggy dogs do look like Lady's hair from the back. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad story!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate it when that happens?
ReplyDeleteI actually did see Paula Deen once. We went to her original restaurant when it was only a local popular spot. She was out in the dining room working. Now, the place is much larger...the menu more extensive...there is a gift shop...and no Paula:(.
I think that Paula would be so impressed with this missed-sighting....that sheepdog has gorgeous hair!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL
You are too cute.
XOXO
thank you ... i always enjoy your take on life!!!
