It's been 2 years since I started the blog. And I am soooo thankful for it! Where else could I complain, brag, vent (which is really kinda like complaining...), make new friends, talk a LOT about myself & keep up with family?! Well, there's Facebook - but I just can't tell my special brand of stories there...
I am thankful for the new friends I've made as well! And YES, I consider you all friends. Like it or not! So in an un-precedented move, I will abstain from talking about moi & talk about you...
(Ahem-in alphabetical order as not to hurt anyones feelings...):
Angie-where the heck have you been? I haven't heard from you in a loooong time. Are you cheating on me?!
Denise (even though technically I borrowed you from Alicia... )-I love to read about your kiddos because I never know what kinda crazy things they're gonna do next! That Grace is gonna be a handful! I hope you're ready! I really do think the world of you! When our house was broken into (the 2nd time) you had kind words of wisdom for me & I will never forget that!
Ginmommy-you have the same 'laugh at yourself & your life so you don't cry' temperament that I have. Thank you for helping me find a long lost friend on facebook! Who knew that you & I know so many of the same peeps through Graceland? Small world! I must also thank you for your calming texts when I'm ready to go ghetto! Eh-somebodies gotta be the voice of reason!
JLL-well, it's just destiny since you have such an awesome first name. I love your funniness. You are so quiet & laid back, but there are times you really make me laugh! I enjoy chatting with you about our mutual obsession (television shows...)! And of course all the games of Words you beat me at! Psssh!
Kiersten-it has been a pleasure getting to know your through your blog! I hope you enjoy your trip to DC in a couple of months! Be sure to take lotsa pics to share with us!
Tracey-I inherited you when I got Ginmommy -you guys are a package deal. I think your blog is a hoot as well. I love reading it because I can visualize everything you're saying. You have a way with words for sure! I am SO proud of you for doing the marathons! Keep up the good work & keep us posted!
Robin-Robin, Robin, Robin - What can I say about you? You're a precious soul. I have enjoyed getting to know you! You're quiet, but still very funny. I consider you family now...too bad, so sad...
And I can't forget my stalking family:
Alicia - even though we've been friends for-eva, I'm glad we keep in touch even more through the blogs... YOU were my inspiration for blogging. (So essentially this is all YOUR fault...) I heart you, Daniel, the boys AND that little GAL Nora! I can't wait to meet her! (Don't forget to text me when she's born-you know I'll never hear about it anyway else...)
Amber-I admire your bravery for moving to Kansas & then Chris getting deployed. Takes guts, girl... You also need to blog more. Sheesh! Not even a post on the new dog? (Ziggy? See I'm not even sure of his NAME!) Blasphemy!
Erin Ashley- you moved away (tear) but I'm glad you can still read about the crazy things Uncle B-rad & I get ourselves into! We miss you terribly & you need to blog more about those great nieces of ours!
Khirstin-You, Derek & Braeden are a busy little family! I'm amazed at your tenacity to stay in med school & become the doctor YOU wanna be! I lack the patience & would've given up! Proud of you!
Granny G-yup, you're in the family category! I think of you as a second momma. I know you will always knock me in the head if I need it, but you're also there to cheer me on. I appreciate you & Joe so much! You both have always been really good to me!
My REAL mom - well, I know you don't think I'm funny. This is a travesty. But I do appreciate you feeding me lunch every day!
Lora- since you're my sis-in-law so you don't really have a choice. Thank you for letting me blog about you & your kids as well since we always seem to end up at the same places! Weird...
B-rad-you have the greatest job of all - putting up with me on a daily basis. The stalkers can escape me - you cannot... You put up with me blabbing practically every detail of our lives on the blog. Plus you don't even yell, "Would you quit taking pictures?!" at me anymore. You've learned it does no good...
(If you're not mentioned - sorry - I don't know you exist. But if you wanna be my new stalker friend, you gotta comment or follow. Thems the rules...)
All of you loyal blog stalkers have also been so supportive in my jewelry biz'nuss! Whether you've had a show for me or attended a show I was doing, I appreciate that more than you will ever know! You ALL helped me be top retailer (which subsequently led to me getting an office makeover...which then subsquently led to my house being a disaster zone...which then subsquently led to my present mood of funk... Think sunshine! It will help my mood!) from our group last year! (There I go with the bragging again...)
I heart you all. I look forward to many more years of stalking...if ya'll can put up with me that long...

What a sweet post!! You know, you never know who's out there reading your blog, I read yours for a LONG time before I ever 'outed' myself ;) You always make me laugh! Glad we could actually meet each other and hang out too. Totally a small world. I do consider you a friend!! :-)
Great post!! All those nice words in one post? weird! Just kidding!! love you too! :)
ps. i will text you as i'm pushing! ha!
We went to high school together, but were in different grades (so I am not sure if you have any idea who I am or not). I stumbled across your blog through Alicia's and I am a loyal stalker! I laugh like an idiot at all of your posts. My most recent favorite was your take on Jake's bday party. HYSTERICAL! So, Happy Birthday to your blog, from another reader you had no idea about-haha! :)
Andrea (Lawson)
Opps, I meant Sam's birthday! :)
HAHA, Alicia-don't get used to all those nice words...good thing blog birthdays are only once a year! :)
ANDREA!!! Welcome to the circus! Sadly, I do not remember you from school. That must mean you're younger than me...Psssh! What.eva!
I do recognize your name from fb though...PLUS I read a super cute article in the paper here about your fam & the dreaded snow a month ago!
Thanks for coming outta the closet! I am super excited you read & enjoy! I will begin stalking you immediately!
You are too, too kind! Your blog makes me laugh every day. I love your "tell it like it is" attitude. Although we all know you are as sweet as they come. Love the new look to your blog as well. Can you believe it's been almost year since "THE LUNCH" with Gretchen.
Oh Jaime, I always look forward to your crazy blogs updates! Keep them coming. Everyday I see you are at your Mom's and I know it is time for me to fix lunch for the kids. LOL!
Don't know what we would do without you!
Oh Jaime Mac. I so heart you and your blog. You truly bring rainbows and butterflies to my day each and every time I read your blog. Your humor and wit are one of a kind and I feel blessed to have met you. Keep up the good work girly. You're doing fantastic!
Awww . . . Jaime! Thanks for the shout out!
I'm glad that my comment was helpful to you. It amazes me how sometimes we (people) say things that we think are so easily forgotten, but still they make a difference.
