Oh My heck

Today I had an "Oh my HECK" moment. I was at the Cheesecake Factory and our waiter came up to me and said, " I never do this, but do you see many famous people?" Now except for the occassional Donny Osmond sighting, no I don't see a lot of famous people. He then continued to tell us the Jon Gosselin from Jon and Kate plus eight was there. My first response? "Oh my heck, shut up! Are you lying?"

Obviously I don't meet many famous people if I am excited to see him. He then told us exactly where he was sitting in the restaurant and that we needed to hurry if we were going to see him because he was getting ready to leave. Well that's all I needed to get me out of my seat and walking toward him. My mom hurried and got up too and my kind dad offered to stay with Lex because he didn't need to see the guy from the "Notebook". (I am telling you right now that if it had been the guy from the Notebook I would have done a lot more than causally walk by his table.)

Now you would think that I would have been a little dignified in walking by his table. Not me!! I laughed and smiled the WHOLE time I was trying to act "causual". He looked at us once, (I think out of pity), and then we went in the bathroom. Our first reaction? "Oh my heck it was him!"

Once I got back to the table I was beside myself. All I had was my camera phone to take a picture. Now how obvious would I look if I pointed a camera at him? By the time I had my stakeout decided I stand up and he's gone!! Oppurtunity to make money by selling his picture to a tabloid gone!

But as soon as we stood up to leave guess who we were walking out with? HIM!! (When I say walking out with what I really mean is that I saw him walking towards the door and I grabbed Lex's arm and ran as fast as I could. Even if it meant dragging Lex from behind). I was like 2 feet away from him and I throw my phone to my dad and tell him to take a picture. He got embarrassed and chickened out! But we did follow him out of the parking lot and I got some awesome pictures of the back of his car.

Now my mom and dad were a little shocked at my reaction. After all he's not really that famous. But at least I learned some valuable lessons today. Always bring a camera with you because you never know who you are going to meet. And I definetly need more of the "Oh my heck" moments in my life."
