I can't begin to tell you about the number of people I consider "friends" although I've never meet them, or met just briefley. Just look at my blog roll. There are people on there who share their lives with me everyday and I relate to them. And they relate to me. And I consider them friends.
There is one person who I've joked with for well over a year now about being a "twin" (a much younger twin) or a "long lost sister." We have so much in common and I just love her and her blog. She is a very gifted writer who actually does remind me a lot of my own sister.
I consider her a mentor and a friend. She is a wonderful writer and all around good person. And we both have two boys and that gives us a sister-type bond beyond compare.
She's hit the big-time with TV gigs and national exposure through Shine! Yahoo's site for women. I'm honored that she considers me a friend too.
So when I came home from picking Sam up from school today and found a package waiting for me I was all a tingle with excitement! Something other than a bill, credit card application or addressed to "resident."
I opened it up and this was inside:
A book called "No One Cares What You Had for Lunch Today: 100 ideas for your Blog" by Margaret Mason. Sent to me by my good friend Charlene, aka: CrazedParent.Gosh, I hope she wasn't trying to tell me something about my blog?
Just kidding! Thanks CP, I really appreciate it!
And by the way, I had a Publix Turkey Cobb Salad today!
bloggy friends ARE the best. i like keeping up with you and your happenings, and am so glad you and charlene have found sisterhood with each other :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad we became bloggy friends! I love reading about the things you guys do! I'm going to have to read that book, too. Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will blog about what's in the book, lol.
ReplyDeleteAw, CP is so sweet! And I also love the way bloggin brings people together, people who live far apart and would never have met, it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would like to take a peek at that book. I would like to know what Publix is...a grocery store??
ReplyDeleteSo what DID you have for lunch?
ReplyDeleteI love my blog friends. I don't remember a time when I wasn't blogging. It erases distance and makes it easy to connect.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you as my friend!
