This little dog & pony show I got goin' here has spread out & touched many lives. I know, I know - that's hard to believe. But it's true - I wouldn't lie to you.
And when I find out people I don't know are actually reading about us & are interested & laughing? Well, that's just about as good as it gets in my book. And of course, I am deeply appreciative of the readers I do know that keep up with us too!!
So a couple of gals came forward to publicly stalk me & I liked that. And I got to thinking, "Hmmm. Wouldn't it be cool to get together & meet face to face?" (Of course I put some feelers out about them - just to be sure they weren't psychos or something...)
Yesterday I met Jami & Gretchen for lunch. And when the idea originally came up, Jami said, "Let's have lunch at Puerto Vallarta!" And I was like, "OK-COOL! We're going to travel to the island vacation destination & have lunch & sit under palm trees & sip on fruity drinks with straws!" Uhm, nu uh. I'm such a country bumpkin that I didn't know there was a restaurant called Puerto Vallarta on Charlestown Road... my bad...
So we had lunch & gabbed about our lives & our families. And we talked about Kate Gosselin (they hate her, I kinda like her). And the Duggars (3 thumbs up for them...) They talked about their kiddos & I talked about my cats. And it was really fun! It's so strange that the little shy girl I used to be has become a woman that craves meeting new people & making new friends. 'Cuz I figure you can't EVER have too many friends! (And we were WAY to busy talkin' to take any pics.... sorry!)
And ya know - I thought I had everything covered. I made sure we met at a public place so they couldn't gang up on me (they've known each other for awhile...) & beat me up or something. But oh no, no, no. They schooled me on something I hadn't thought about... Exit strategy. What if it wasn't working out? What if they didn't like me? What if I didn't like them? What if there were awkward moments of silence? I hadn't thought of a contingency plan for that. But them? Oh, they had that one covered. "Uhm, we gotta go relieve our babysitters..." Ahhhh, the kid angle - drats!

ha ha, funny post. We did not use babysitters as an excuse, if we would have we would have been outta there at 1:30.

Another funny post JAIME MAC!! I'm glad that I came out as a stalker and actually had the chance to meet you. You're a beautiful, funny woman. I can't wait to see what you say next ;)
Jami Leigh Lee - I know you didn't use the kids as an excuse...I hope you know I was being my sarcastic self. But I thought, "What a great way to get outta stuff? Blame it on the kiddos?!" :)
Alicia- I know you have my back girl! I told them I asked you questions about them!
Gretchen-thank you for the sweet words! I hope I can keep making you laugh!
That is so funny!!! Jami & Gretchen can both be a little questionable!!! KIDDING! Great gals. :) It's hilarious to me that you didn't know Puerto Vallarta!! That's kind of like our iconic place. Now you're in the loop!
