Like a kid in a candy store!

At the risk of sounding like a Jr. High girl with a new outfit, can I just tell you how excited I was to be invited to spend the evening with some of my favorite bloggers, and in my opinion, overall wonderful women! (FYI, I would link to their sites, because trust me, I KNOW ALL OF THEM BY HEART, but I don't really know the rule on site linking. Because, do y'all want everyone to know that we live within driving distance of each other?? I mean, you tell me.)

Anyhow, I can say this. Beth was so kind to invite me, a stranger, into her home and let me meet her friends. And honestly, it was the best blind date I've ever been on. Which reminds me of this time I actually went on a blind date, thanks to my girlfriend Barbara, and the guy was icky and smelled like he'd just gotten done changing the oil in his pickup truck. And our "date" consisted of sitting in the living room at Barbara's house with her and her boyfriend while watching a movie. And I chose to sit on the floor while scary grease boy sat on the couch and then when he left I didn't even say goodbye. Not that I am comparing last night to that blind date, but I couldn't possibly mention blind dates and not bring up that freak fest that almost ended my friendship with Barbara night.

It was a fun night, and it was for a really important cause. Ladies, thank you SO much for allowing me to crash your party. I have admired you all from afar and am so thankful to have finally met you IRL. Hope to do it again sometime.
