The Meeting of the Heathers…

A few weeks ago, Heather (remember Heather?  She’s the one that made fun of my cooking skills on MY blog…) anyway, she emailed me and said that she’d be in town (and by in town, I mean an hour away) and wanted to proposed a bloggy meet-up.

I went over the top with this one.  First off, you know how I love to meet people from the internet.  I mean, it’s one of my favorite things to do.  Except meet men, online.  But I think there’s a difference in meeting a man on a dating site and meeting a blogger, in which you’ve been peeking in their “homes” for quite some time.

Anywho, I love to meet bloggers, but also?

No one, and I mean NO ONE, has ever emailed me and said, “I’m going to be in town, want to meet up?” Because no one really ever comes near here and I’m the one that’s always travelling.

So I felt loved and important and was just so freakin’ excited that someone wanted to meet me!!!!

At the recommendation of Katherine, (we missed you today!) we went to Flat Rock.  I love twitter which is where I posed the question.

After waiting forever for me to tell her where we were going to meet and give her directions, we settled on where we were going to eat and what time.

Guess what?

She actually showed up!

(That was my other fear, that she would just not show..no, I’m kidding.  She has never appeared to be that way…)

She was there waiting for me as I was frantically trying to access my email on my phone because I thought I gave her the wrong directions and Heather, LadyBug and I had the most delightful lunch.

We even ordered the same thing.

We talked and talked and talked some more and then we had to leave.  I wanted to take her to the Star because you can’t come to Roanoke without going to the Star, but it was cloudy and raining.

Fortunately, she’s coming back in January so we can try again… in the cold and snow.  It will happen!!!

But before we left, we took pictures of ourselves, so we could you know, blog about it.

Her picture on her camera is so much better and I was secretly hoping that by the time I got around to posting that she would’ve posted already so that I could steal hers, but I promise when it’s up, I’ll show it to you.  Because in hers?

All three of us are actually looking good, smiling and looking at the camera.

And LadyBug…

I just want to steal her.  And I said that outloud.

I’m pretty sure you don’t want to say that outloud to someone that you just met on the internet.  I might now be labeled the scary woman… maybe that’s why Heather hasn’t posted yet….

But still, isn’t she the CUTEST….

Really makes me want to have MORE (I know, I’m crazy, and yes, I’ve read the posts over the past few weeks about how my older children were driving me crazy.)

So there you have it.. go see Heather… and tell her to put up the pictures already!

Until next time…
