Blogger Meet Up

April 22, 2008 by Elaine

So Saturday night I met up with some DFW area bloggers. It was really cool to meet some other ladies that live in the area and also are addicted to like blogging. We talked about all kinds of things, some blog related and some not. I learned that there is a new addiction out there called Twitter (although I had heard of it before) and I also learned that it’s pretty easy to make new friends when you share a common interest.

These gals are great and funny too! So who was there you ask? Anglophine Football Fanatic organized the get together for us and although she’s been bloggin’ less than a year, she’s up on everything (she does Twitter by the way). June Cleaver Nirvana is a mom of 3 boys and gave us the “in person” run down about her marker-illustrated incident with her mini van. You must check it out, it’s too funny (and she’s okay…). TX Poppet filled us in a little about what life will be like with teenagers (sounds like she’s got 2 really good ones!) AND gave us strawberry jam. Love her! And verybusymomof4 may very well be one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met and it does sound like her blog title is right on! We had a great dinner and when I got in my car and saw that it was 10 pm I had no idea it was that late.

Thanks ladies for a great time – it was wonderful to meet you! Let’s do it again soon!

(if you would like to see a more “artistic” depiction of this same picture, you must visit JCN here… she’s great with Crayola markers, I tell ya!)

    That sounds awesome, I’d love to do something like that. I guess I could arrange it. Hmm, maybe I’ll arrange it.

    I LOVE your new look! It’s very, very pretty.

    Ahhh. The picture of the poodle hair. Burgh is such a goober, isn’t she. We will certainly be doing it again – it was too fun not to. There were about 4 who could not make it.

    Did you get on twitter, yet?

    That sounds like such fun.. I would love to do something like that.. I guess I could if I wanted to put it together but who has time LOL.. I know there is handful of bloggers in my area who I’m sure would like to meet up one of these days.
    but it looks like you DFW girls had a great time… I guess I had forgot you were in the DFW area. When I was in TX a month ago I was in that area also..

    Yeah! The OFFICIAL picture with my eyes open. Seriously rare. I had a really fun time. It is nice to talk blog freely without seeming weird. Also seriously rare.

    I love hearing about it when bloggers meet up in real life – it really goes to show that mazaing friendships get forged on-line…
