Wednesday, August 13, 2008Funny Story about "RITA girl"
 If you read this blog regularly, you already know I was honored with a RITA award last week from Romance Writers’ of America. The after-celebration has been fantastic—lots of cards, calls, emails, flowers, even pink champagne! But life has a way of keeping us humble. Let me share a funny story that happened on the Monday after the award program. The local florist telephoned and asked if I was the “Linda Goodnight who had just had a baby”. After some sputtering and rather hysterical laughter, I said no. She was puzzled because she couldn’t find any other Linda Goodnight in the phone directory and needed an address in order to deliver the flowers. I asked if perhaps an error had been made because I’d just won a rather major award and it was possible that someone might send me some flowers. The florist replied, “Let me read the card.” It said, “Congratulations on the RITA, girl. We are so happy for you.” The florist had assumed I had just had a baby girl named Rita! So I told her to bring the flowers on out and I’d introduce her to my baby girl named RITA. She and I had a great laugh when she arrived with my bouquet compliments of my OKRWA chapter. Oh, and here’s a shot of my baby girl with her flowers.  Labels: books, linda goodnight, RITA Award, RWA, wedding planners
