Okay I’m in a state of shock right now… Seriously I’m speechless and that happens rarely people..
I got sent a tweet saying
SARARUEFORREAL @Dmslinadrtydrss – I’m totally gonna download ur book to my iPad 🙂
Which made my jaw hit the floor and I replied
@SARARUEFORREAL …*gulp* … okay I know this says Sara Rue for real but is it!?!? IS it???!!! *cue hyperventilating*
And then I got this direct message
Yep – my fiancé saw some or ur tweets about the book. I have a shoot this week but plan to start reading it after things calm down a bit 🙂
Direct message sent by Sara Rue (@SARARUEFORREAL) to you (@DmslinaDrtyDrss) on Mar 29, 7:19 PM.
So I meant to say stuff on this blog but I can honestly say it’s totally gone out of my head.. I’m swinging between extreme delight and the urge to squeal like a 16yr old (..okay I may have indulged myself there…) and utter terror she’ll hate it… Actually no that’s kinda behind the stunned mullet expression at the moment.
Here’s the riddle
You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?
Take care all!

Buy it today!

Okay I suck at riddles, just wanted to say awesomeness on the @reply!! I would squeal too, lol.
Hi Nicole. So you are writing a book! Good for you. Keep up the good work. I'm in Hamilton, NZ. Where are you? – Dave,
Cool you got a tweet from Sara!
I have heard the answer to this riddle before. So you'd think it would only be sporting of me to disqualify myself. Only I can't REMEMBER the answer, so here I am stumped.
That's really cool about Sara Rue! I hope you hear her remarks after she's finished reading it.
Good for you!! Yay!!!! I'll pass on the riddle as it's got numbers in it and I'm crap with numbers!! LOL! Take care

oh oh oh I know this one!
You fill the 3 gallon, then pour it into the 5 gallon. Then fill the 3 again, pour into the 5 until it is full (two more gallons) which leaves you with ONE gallon in the 3 container!
Awesome tweeting experience. I have yet to really get into the tweeting world. Great to see it did something that made you smile 🙂
Hi Pene – yeah I so rarely indulge in bad girly squealing *grin* Woohoo!
Hi Dave – great to meet a fellow Kiwi, I'm in Wellington
Hi Vicki – I'm SO excited!
Hi Clarissa – and fingers toes limbs etc crossed that she likes it.. *gulp*
Hi Old kitty – thanks! And you too 🙂
Hi Jenni – WOOHOO for you! You are the winner! I'll be in touch 🙂
Now, see, the version I heard was you had to measure out FOUR gallons using a 3 and a 5 gallon container. 🙂 Congrats to Jenni!
Jesse – I have heard that one too 🙂
Nicole – YAY!! I finally won!! hehehe
I'll leave this riddle to other smarter folks (my brain turns to goo when it thinks about calculations, lol!) but huge congrats on your book!
