While I follow many blogs there are really only 10-15 that I regularly read, and comment on now. I don’t have time to read as many as I used to, I have to skim many to keep up.
By some odd coincidence 2 of my favorite bloggers live in Minnesota, I knew I wanted to meet them. While I am somewhat of an outgoing person, it still was a little nerve wracking meeting these virtual friends in real life. What if they don’t like in real life me? Yes…I am officially a nerd.
So we made plans to meet up for dinner, and it was fantastic. These ladies were just as amazing in person, as they are on their blogs. We talked, giggled, and ate. They even still liked me after I would say really stupid off the wall things….I will blame the Cosmo’s. Who am I kidding? I say those things with out the help of liquor. My mouth needs a filter.
Here is Heather from the Extraordinary Ordinary.
Heather has a beautiful blog. She is an amazingly eloquent writer, who can make taking the trash out sound lovely. In person she has this genuine innocence to her…you just kind of want to hug her, or put her in your pocket and take her home with you.
Here is Sara from Domestically Challenged.
Sara cracks me up. She is a very sarcastic, witty writer, that I adore. Her blog never fails to make me laugh. In person, she is even more hilarious. Sara and I would be trouble together if left alone to our own demise.
Here we are all together.
These ladies blog, just to blog, they aren’t worried about page rank, technorati, or Google analytics. In fact they both self admitted they don’t even know how to use them. They are just the real deal.
We are now VBFF, virtual best friends forever. Until we meet again ladies…. (Winter vaca in Florida?)

























You all look so happy. I have to admit..it does my heart good to see your smile and look happy. I know how hard some days have been lately. You are doing a wonderful job ..and I am here if ya need anything. bet you knew that already..huh?
