If you’re like me, you suspect that non-bloggers think you’re a little nuts when you talk about your bloggy friends. Although most of us haven’t met, I consider that I have many true friends that I’ve become acquainted with through blogging. Today Miss Lily and I MIRLed (met in real life) Brenda!
Brenda was one of the first ladies I connected with when I started blogging. We have lots in common: we were born and raised in the same state, we live in the same state now, and we were born seven days apart (same year). If you notice, Lily is sucking her thumb in the picture, which means she was quite comfortable with Brenda. Lily isn’t a constant thumb sucker; she’s an “I’m going to snuggle up for a moment and suck my thumb” kind of a girl. For the most part, she just does it when I’m holding her. Brenda and I had such a nice visit, and she even bought Miss Lily a nekkid dog (that’s “naked” dog for non-Southerners, and a plain hot dog, for those who need more clarification). 🙂
You know what’s really cool? Next week we get to do it again!
It was wonderful meeting you, my friend!
i love this. i got into blogging because my mom and aunt were doing it. you can’t let family pass you by. but none of my flesh and blood friends, that i see all the time do it. i have a friend that i run with every day, so we talk about everything, and every time i mention the blog, i think she rolls her eyes. it’s hard for people to understand, if they haven’t done it. it’s hard for them to understand that there is this entire world out there, waiting for them to comment. i’m so glad i found it!
I’m so glad you two got to meet each other in person. Trying real hard not to feel jealous. 🙂
I wonder if anyone else will notice this – I honestly think you two look so much alike you could be sisters. It’s amazing how much you favor each other.
How cool! Looks like you had a great meeting!
Go look at my blog!!!! NOW!! :^D
Barb:
It’s so funny you said that because I commented to her that we both have the same cheekbones!
Not only Lily is sucking her thumb but also twirling her hair, how cute is that?
I saw the picture first and thought you two were related.
It’s so fun meeting OLF!
Dawn-
This is so neat. You both have so much in common and do favor. GO VARSITY! Miss Lily is sweet as always.
That’s funny, I thought she was your sister. Glad you had a great time!
BTW, After my 2yo DS gets out of the tub and starts runnin around his bedroom jumping off the bed, I’m always telling my 2yo DS, “Get over here you nekkid boy!” And I’m a Yank, who woulda thunk?!
God Bless,
Amber
How fun! I would love to meet a few of my blogging friends in real life.
How fun! I would love to MIRL sometime when I am in the great Peach State. :>)
I am so glad you mirled!!!! LOL And I am so glad others have noticed how you look alike, because I have you two favorited, and I would go back and forth and look at your pics, to see if you were the same gal, with different blogs. lol It looks like good times!
