Oh you guys.
As you may or may not know {which if you know anything at all..you do know}
I am mildly obsessed with Giuliana Rancic, or as we refer to her in our household--"G".
Okay, so maybe just I call her G but still.
You get the point.
I love the her.
I love her fashion.
Her personality.
Oh, and her husband.
Bill if you are reading--
If ever you find yourself say..alone, in Chicago for the evening...
I'm only a 2 hour drive away.
Just sayin'.
Anyhow, back to what I was saying.
So the other day, my good friend Twitter {which I am now forever indebted to} informed me that Giuliana was answering the phones at their new restaurant RPM Italian to take reservations.
Well it just so happened that I needed to make reservations at their new restaurant.
So naturally I freak out when I see the tweet--
grab my old school 1990's phone-
and dial.
And this is what I get:

The beautiful, hilarious, amazeballs G herself.
Talking to me.
I think it went a little somethin' like this:
G-"RPM Italian, this is Giuliana can I help you?!"
Me-"SHUUUUUUUUUT UP! Is it seriously you?!?!"
By this point I am 100% acting like those crazy obsessed 12 year old girls who just saw Justin Bieber for the first time.
Dancing, shaking hands, and nerves so bad that I swear I am going to throw up.
Anyhow.
The conversation continues...
Me-"Oh my gosh, I am freaking out right now. Hold on--I have to grab my camera and video tape this!"
G-"Actually you don't need to tape it because we are filming for the show right now...
This will be aired on TV"
...I mentioned I thought I was going to throw up right?
Long story short, I get transferred to somebody to actually make the reservations.
By this time I realize, I neeeeeed a video.
Because what if their show gets all crazy and makes a horrible decision to edit me out of the show?
I needed proof people.
So Ibeg ask kindly to speak to Giuliana again.
The girl tells me they are in the middle of taping.
I tell her I am in the middle of ripping her face off if I don't speak with Giuliana again.
That's a joke people.
It was only a thought that crossed my mind, calm down.
Anyhow, the sweet girl miraciously connects me with Giuliana again.
And this is what happens....
A few things to point out before you watch--
I had just awoken from a nap.
I was still in work clothes
{Surprisingly enough, I don't normally wear embroidered cardigans with my place of employment written all over the front}
I have hardly any make-up on my face.
My pants were undone.
Oh right, you can't see that part.
And I mentioned my phone is from the 90's right?
Last but not least, I talk over her.
Who the ?!? does that to Giuliana Rancic?
Nobody except me apparently.
#RookieMistake.
Okay but seriously, back to the reason of this post---
She has a little somethin' she would like to say to you all...
Now if you will please excuse me,
I am off to finish the rest of the most amazing day of my life.
PS. If you are in the Chicago area--make reservations at RPM Italian.
G & B...
I leave you with one final thing.
xoxo

ReplyDeleteDUUUUDE! What the what?! That's too awesome! I love her! She's been a huge encouragement in her whole infertility struggle and I just want to give her the biggest hug!
ReplyDeleteYou're quick thinking with the whole asking her to say hi to you're readers. Smart cookie! Now, I wonder if I can get a hold of Tina Fey to do that for me? ;)
I think you kept your cool pretty good! I would have been stumbling all over myself! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst thing first- Girl, you are hilarious! Never commented on your blog, but been a long time reader..and I thought I'd just say that I loveeee it!
ReplyDeleteI live around the Chicago area and had my fiance make reservations for us today too- He was also one of the lucky ones that got to speak to Giuliana! We are both big fans of the Rancics ourselves and have met them two times!
I AM DYING/FREAKING OUT/DYING SO MORE over this...you have no idea my love G...I am literally acting like a child over here. YOU are the smartest ever recording your convo, oh my word, you just made my daaaaaay!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAGH!! Too cool, I'm so jealous! They better not edit you out of the show!
ReplyDeletethis is so freaking awesome! love her- she's the cutest! hopefully this will make the aired footage! this reminds me of how i felt when i talked on the phone with john mayer-- my fave claim to fame! enjoy the rest of your fabulous day! :)

That is so amazing! I'm so glad you were able to tape this, and props to G for giving a shout-out to all of us. Love it!

ReplyDeleteLove this!! I love her too! That is so awesome! Glad you could get to speak with her!! I met neil patrick harris at my gym and without make up he actually looks his age, and I mistakenly went up to him and said "do you know you look like neil patrick harris?" And his response.."I am neil patrick harris." and he laughed and I almost died! Whoops! So I know how u feel when u meet a celeb and mess up!
ReplyDeletevery COOL!

We love G & Bill!

SO COOL!
ReplyDeleteI seriously stopped in the middle of a conversation to read this post and watch your video because your blog plus Giuliana Rancic clearly takes priority over talking to my boyfriend. (Totally kidding.. mostly) I might be a tad bit in love with your blog. It's an addiction, dude. But seriously, that's awesome!!
OMG! I love love love Giuliana! Congrats to you for getting to talk to her, what a lucky duck :)
