Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

Anyone else a die hard Brady Bunch fan? Well, I sure was back in the 80'-90's. I think I saw ever rerun episode 5 times. So, anyways Marsha was by far my favorite character. She was everything I wanted to be as a young girl. She had beautiful long straight blond hair. I did not. I had curl, brown "frizzy" hair. She had cute little dimples and the perfect size lips. I did not. I had chubby cheeks and puffy lips. She had a Kitty Karrel doll. I did not and REALLY wanted one! So, when I heard that Maureen McCormick (Marsha Brady) was doing a book signing at the Borders store on Michigan Ave. last night, I had to run down there to meet my long lost BFF MARSHA!!!! She had actually just written a book about her "not so perfect" live and some "hidden secrets" of the Brady Bunch clan so I really was excited to buy the book as well. My sister Kendra of course was making fun of me when I asked her if she thought there would be a big line. She was like haha! You are the only one that wants to meet her, NO you won't wait in line too long. Well, sister Kinny......you were SO WRONG! Apparently a lot of 30-40's year old ladies and men shared the same passion as I did with the Brady Bunch, because literally there were about 200 people in line. So I got my book and waited in line. There I waited, and waited and waited and then the impatient & hungry person that I was decided to bolt. I got to see Marsha from a far, but didn't get my ever so desired photography with her and autograph. Well....off to reading her book now. I guess I will just continue to admire her from a far......
