It's not often that one's weekly schedule includes things such as: "Dinner at home with President" or "Boyfriend plays pickup game with Leader of Free World."
So you can forgive Stacy Keibler for still looking a bit wide-eyed after last week's visit to California by President Barack Obama.
A day after George Clooney hosted a multimillion-dollar fundraiser at his Los Angeles home Thursday, the Academy Award-winning actor and the president hit the hardwood for a pickup game that also featured Tobey Maguire
"It was such an honor, it really was," Keibler tells PEOPLE while attending the 19th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women in Los Angeles on Saturday. "To have the President at our house was such an unbelievable honor. I would say that there is such an energy and a presence, and I felt almost speechless."

The zingers came fast and furious once the President hit the stage. Poking fun at his probable general-election opponent, Mitt Romney, Obama joked, "We both have degrees from Harvard. I have one, he has two. What a snob."
Following the President, Kimmel didn't let Obama off easy. "Remember when the country rallied around you in hope for a better tomorrow?" he joked. "That was a good one."
