Ashley Tisdale and the Table's on Fire!

Last night I totally met the Ashley Tisdale lookalike! I couldn't believe it. Here's how it went down...

I was at the Festival of Trees to benefit the Armed Forces YMCA. It was fantastic and so much fun. They have this giant ballroom with beautiful tables, an Elvis Cover Band and about 12 magnificently decorated Christmas Trees that you buy raffle tickets to win. If you win one, you win everything that's on the tree and under it! Some had things like DVDs, GPS Systems, Free Airline Tickets, Furniture, an out of this world Grill, Kitchen Aid Mixers and most importantly a High School Musical Tree with a Dance Along, Karaoke Machine! It was a blast. Not to mention, I actually arrived early! So I had a Bombay Sapphire and Tonic at the Shilo Inn right next door. Then I wondered over to the Festival. I then began purchasing raffle tickets and going wild registering for the different trees! I loved it. There were two young ladies stationed at each tree. They were wearing, what appeared to be, dance uniforms. AKA, skin tight black leggings, a black t-shirt and a black velour, rhinestone vest! Anyhow, one such girl was located next to the furniture tree. I handed her my ticket and immediately did a double take as she looks exactly like Ashley Tisdale! I then said, "OMG! You look just like Ashley Tisdale. You're so beautiful." She replied, "Oh thank you! I get that all the time." Now in my mind, as the night continued, I actually started believing it was Ashley Tisdale and started taking friends over to meet her. I know, I'm bonkers, but fun. Then I proceeded to ask her if I could take my picture with her. She so kindly agreed. My Christmas wish had come true.

Now the evening was quiet over. As an Ambassador to the Harker Heights Chamber, I sat at their table. It was a blast. That is until, one f the ladies at the table said, "I think I smell something burning." I didn't really think much of it, as there was a lot going on. However, I began to smell something as well. I turned my head to the right to look around and there it was my friends, OUR TABLE WAS ON FIRE! Apparently when the lady that was sitting next to me got up to go get another bite to eat, her napkin got pushed into one of the votive candles. The napkin then went up in flames and ignited the table cloth with it. I shouted "Fire!" and then began beating the flames with a plate. Green bean juice and mashed potatoes were flying, but the flames were dying. Fwoosh!! It was a close one. Not to mention, the Fire Marshall was sitting two tables in front of ours. It really made for a fantastic Friday evening. Now had my fabulous $40 Cashmere (that's right, I said $40 Cashmere! Old Navy, baby.) Sweater had went up in flames, the YMCA would have been hearin' about it!

Alright, back to the never-ending Christmas decorating. Have a great weekend. Good shopping to all and to all a good night!

Yours,
Randy
