I’ve been nothing but shy about my love of Michael Symon. Celebrity Crush. Favorite Chef. That man owns my heart. Last week, after seeing a few tweets, I knew I had to make plans to go see Michael at his book signing for Carnivore. Yes, I even told a client about it (I provided plenty of laughs on a video shoot that day).

My dear friend (and coworker) was immediately in when I mentioned it to her. On Friday we made plans to leave, stand in line, purchase the new book and more or less make fools out ourselves. During the day we tweeted Michael (and he responded….which meant our coworkers heard squeals). When we stood in line and Caroline saw Michael for the first time, she squealed, hit me and yelled “that’s him!”

And our lives were made.

Heart. Heart. Heart.
