I'd call this an announcement of a blate, but that just doesn't really cut it.
This is more of a blarriage.
You know my friend, Lauren...
Well back in the day (okay maybe 4-5 months ago) I commented on her blog and said her awkward photos weren't awkward enough for me. Not impressed (except for the one of her with the plant...that one blew my mind). We spent part of the evening emailing awkward photos of eachother. And yeah, we hadn't talked about much else before then.
Fast forward to a month ago...we text, email, tweet, facebook, instagram, path...the works.
Then Lauren suggests that I become friends with her sister on Facebook since she lives in San Diego too.
Her sister, Jacki and I decide to meet up for lunch so she
Sunday I find out Lauren is coming out to San Diego for five days in March!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I mean...destiny? fate? I think so?
I'm so excited. So I guess it's a
Blogging has given me so many non IRL friends, cough, Anna, cough. Which I mean, is kinda nice...there's no way to "flake" on them or have them "flake" on you. You just tweet a lot, facebook, text, facetime when ya feel like it. ;)
I am so appreciative of the blogging world and love finding new blogs who have so much to share. I love catching up on blogs of girls who I feel like belong with me in the babysitters club. Did I just date myself? You know you wanted to be a part of the babysitters club.
We're all so lucky to have blogging and be apart of this environment. I honestly believe that. Blogging is one of the best things I did in 2011. You all continue to inspire me. I can't wait for the socal blogger meetup Saturday! I get to meet SIXTY! 6-0!! wonderful bloggers in the area. I can't wait to hug Katie and Meg. (Creepy, I know.)
Tomorrow. Me + You=You know what it isssssss!
Ps-I think I'm going to change my blog name. Just throwing that out there. What do you think?
How fun! I can't wait to hear all about your meeting Lauren in person! How crazy that yall are that close. It's a small world. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a ton of fun! I love it when I get to make new friends in the blogging world. It makes it all worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys have an awesome time! Can’t wait to hear how it goes :)
Aw so excited for you!!! I am jealous you get to hug Katie and Meg!!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your blogger meet up!! Meg and I have been talking about it forever, I wanna live in San Diego!! ANd have fun with Lauren, that will be awesome!!!
ReplyDeletexo
I'm always super jealous of the girls that can go to blogger meet-ups! I don't follow any blogs of girls from around my area. How do you find local blogs or does it just happen by chance?

AAHHHH So jealous of all of yall blogger meet ups and blates! I've never met any bloggers IRL... Boo! Give Meg a big ole hug for me too. She is just the sweetest.
ReplyDeleteAnd so awesome that Lauren is coming for 5 days. Yall will have so much fun!
it isn't creeepy at all in fact i look forward to it!!! and the gossiping about bachelor and everything else this big meet-up will entail!!! cant wait!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. The blogging world is soooo amazing!! I love it, and I can't remember what I did to entertain myself before I discovered it. Non-RL bloggy friends areeee the greatest. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! that is awesome!! I love blates! I went on an amazing one last night and I am still on a high from it! hehe xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI love our blarriage hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteI do have to say though, why you gotta be all hating on the EC? By EC I mean East Coast, obviously. I was born and raised there, and I'm only forgiving you because forgiveness is key to a successful marriage ;)
San Diego better be ready for this pregnant gal to rock some booty shorts!! For real though, I don't think that's going to happen, not if I develop cankles in the next 6 weeks especially.
Also, if you don't own Toms by the time I get there, we're going to buy you some. End. Of. Story. B insists.
Yay for tomorrow being Friday, and even bigger yay that you get to have a blate with your blog bestest in March! You must be beyond excited! If you ever come out to the East Coast, I request, scratch that, nicely demand that we meet! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that tomorrow is FF and I wish I lived in SoCal so I could go to the blogger meet up.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your blate!
Very cool. I have met 5 bloggers IRL since starting my blog in Sept of 2010. Some of them have turned into my very dearest friends. I guess I am an Internet meeting kinda gal. Totally met my husband that way too. Excited to see how your SoCal meet up goes. I plan to do one for Mpls this spring. :)
ReplyDeleteHow neat!! Blog friends are pretty much the coolest.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I cannot wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeletejust hoppin over from 'mr. taylor and his lady'. blog friends are the greatest! and i seriously laughed out loud at your babysitters club comment, i've always wanted my own club! :)
ReplyDeleteI like your current blog name homegirl! :) But yes, I too wanted to be in the babysitters club. Love blates!
ReplyDeleteYay for blogger friends! See you tomorrow chica ;)
ReplyDeleteNew blog name? Hmmm...I like this one!
http://theprettyfactor.blogspot.com
You should totally change your blog name.
ReplyDelete"Awesome Possum". That one is my favorite of the ones you suggested to me, and although the "Seahorse Delight" was REALLY weird it's kind of growing on me too. I could see some pretty great color schemes coming out of that one.
I love your blog name. It's definitely fitting a original! And I completely agree with you about blogging, although I have never met any bloggers, I always imagine I will run into one of you that live locally!
ReplyDeleteWho didn't want to be in the babysitters club? I think I even considered starting up my own. However I really just wanted to be friends with claudia.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend at the meet-up it's so great to have such an awesome network of peeps.
ok .... love this.
ReplyDeletea. I am so excited that you and Lauren get to hangout IRL!!! i see how great of friends you are everyday on twitter and am so happy for yall to hug!!!
b.i totally agree with that whole paragraph about blogging and sometimes I catch myself zoning out thinking about how surreal it is that all these girls are on here pouring their hearts out and we somehow become friends with one another! sooo special!
c. I actually had to open the "Katie" in another tab to make sure it was me before I commented on how excited I am to hug you too!!!!!! Cant. Wait. !!!
oh and D. i am obsessed with your blog name and when i decided to change mine to be more simplistic, I actually wished for a hot second I didnt know you so I could name mine "katie takes notes". True story, sorry friend! i cant believe I just admitted that...
Yay for Blog Friends!! :) I have met many blog friends, but am waiting for that friend that I instantly just click with filled with constant messages, tweets and texts - it will happen, and hopefully I'll find some in Colorado near me too! :) I'm so glad that you have been able connect with so many friends, and sounds like this weekend is going to be fabulous!! :) And I like the blog name, but if you feel like changing it - do it!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could hook up with some Austin bloggers. I am sure that they are out there, just haven;t found them yet! You and the 60 others have a ball!!! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteBecause Shanna Said So Giveaway
BTW - I LOVE the name....don't change it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool that you have made such an awesome connection/fried! Blogging IS awesome indeed
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Blogging friends are the BEST! Thanks for expressing it so beautifully.

I'm so going to find a way to sneak into one of lauren's suitcases. You can check body bags, right? No, that's not creepy. I'm so jealous. We're gonna hug some day. Hopefully sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteCan we be polygamists in this blarriage?
p.s. are you still going to change your blog name after everyone is insisting that you not?
I am sooooo happy that you will get to meet Lauren IRL!! She is pretty awesome :) I hope that I will get a huge squeeze from you one day! Ha
ReplyDelete& what are you thinking about changing your name too?! :)
Your blog is great;).
ReplyDeleteI read it a long time;)
invite me if you want it to follow and to comment kisses;)
I LOVE LAUREN! I ran in to your blog from her blog! You are seriously going to have so much fun with her! Just had coffee with her this morning in fact. And San Diego is of course beautiful. How fun!
