I haven’t written a lot about my recent trip to L.A., but meeting my blogger friend Annie Dennison was definitely one of the highlights. Hands down! We have gradually progressed from blog buddies, email pals, phone call cronies, to “real life” friends. And what a fun journey it’s been! Annie and I had brunch at my one of my favorite mexican food restaurants, went shoe shopping, and then met up with her adorable husband for a leisurely supper al fresco. What a fabulous day!
She is such an special person, and I SO want to be Annie when I grow up! I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful friend. I have always felt like my blogger buddies were also my “real life” friends. Some people disagree but I have found such a special community among bloggers. Which I absolutely love.
Be sure and check out Annie’s amazing blog, Smart at Love. And I simply don’t understand why the talk show world hasn’t snapped this woman up yet. She just gets it. And makes us get it too. Which I think is pretty rare.
Gal Pals ROCK.
How wonderful!! I”m off to visit Annie’s blog, at your recommendation. So glad you got to meet up!
I’m confused..Why would you ever think you disappointed me?
I have been to Annie’s blog before though she has not been blogrolled. I will visit again. It’s a great site!:)
It’s a joke, Janet, based on the title of your blog
I think it’s awesome that you guys met up based on your blogging friendship.
I wish there were more bloggers from England and then maybe I could do the same.
Thanks for the link to Annie’s blog–I like it.
And I wish I’d been able to meet some of the Michigan bloggers I know before I moved–there are some seriously cool folk among them.
It’s nice to have Girlfriends…mine are on UPN at 10 o’clock, but I am glad you have real ones…
How cool that you two got to meet, and with sharing the shoe shopping ritual, you two definitely hit it off!
I feel blessed to have found you, too!
You write a wonderful blog, honey, but you are even more special and beautiful in person. So, start thinking about some good spots for our next brunch and shoe shopping expedition together…….in New York.
And hey, the talk show world hasn’t been pounding down my door because they know that I would throw up and faint, in that order, in front of a studio audience.
I continue to be amazed at the connections formed here.
How cool is that?? I’ve made some good bloggy friend (you among them!)
I think the blog world is slow today because it’s just too effin’ HOT to do anything!
*mwah*
Nat – Thanks Hon, I appreciate that
Janet – It IS a great site!
Ben Heller – Welcome! And I hope you have the opportunity to meet some bloggers in England sometime. Bloggers rock!
Serra – I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance but maybe you can meet some in your new home.
Se7en – Thanks! Are you by chance implying I have too many shoes
Annie – Thank you my friend. Big Hug!
I am checking my Zagat’s book even as we speak – hope you come visit soon!
Oh and you would NOT faint or hurl in front of an audience neither
Zen – LOL. Indeed
Seamus – Me too, isn’t it AMAZING?
Laurie – I count you among the special friends as well!
Damn heat… harumph
I think online friendships are special, perhaps even better than “real life” ones because they are based on shared ideas rather than age, geography or social status. I wouldn’t trade my blog friends for the world!
Didn’t get that one. Damn the internet and it’s built in sarcasm defense mechanism!:)
I am off to go visit Annie….NOW
Sophmom – I agree
Janet – Hehe! Hope you enjoy!
Aww! She has a super cute blog!
Lisa, some people who blog are not real. Myself, I’m just a figment of the imagination.
