15 minutes of fame

OK so maybe not "fame," but I was retweeted by Jim Gaffigan ( the "Hot Pockets guy").  That's a big accomplishment for me.

So, he wrote a book coming out in May that's called "Dad is Fat."  He did a whole pre-order thing where if you filled out a form with the order information you got some excerpts and things.  Well, I did all that and got two nice excerpts from the book and a mask with his face on it.  I took a picture of myself with the mask and sent out a tweet to Mr. Gaffigan and asked him to be my Valentine (there was a whole letter about Valentine's Day included.)

Well he retweeted me, which means that his 1.5 million followers saw that picture and a bunch of people "favorited" it (twit speak for "like") and now about 10 people who I don't know follow me on Twitter.

I'm still flabbergasted that JIM GAFFIGAN retweeted something of mine.  That means he saw what I wrote, liked it, and sent it out to his followers.  It's the coolest thing that's happened to me with regards to a celebrity.

P.S.  On a different note, I didn't get the job. Trying to stay positive...I'll let you know how that goes...
