Last night I was glued to my computer, trying (and wanting!) to catch up on your blogs. Taking an eight day vacation with almost no time, ability, or desire to be on the computer has left me with hundreds of unread posts in my Google reader, a multitude of my own posts to finish writing and post, a lack of time to invest in PAIL this past week, a gazillion emails in my inbox to attend to, and 500+ pictures to comb through to delete/edit/post.
Charlie asked what I was doing, and I told him I was trying to catch up on blog stuff.
His response?
You’re stressed about stuff that’s not even real Jos.
Huh?
Has he forgotten about us having dinner with Natalie and her husband in Denver?
Has he forgotten about us having lunch and beers with Ann in St. Louis?
Has he forgotten about us actually spending the night at Oak and her husband’s house in Minneapolis?
Over the past two years, I have been fortunate enough to meet up with 10 “blog friends” in real life (two group gatherings, and a few of you I’ve gotten to hang out with multiple times since those gatherings!), and Charlie has met three of you. If I had the money, I’d love to get each and every one of us together, but in the meantime, I have to settle with meeting people here and there as time and vacation money allows.
Because you know what, YOU ARE REAL TO ME.
Whether you are someone who helped support me through my weight loss issues, my TTC journey, or just by being a cool person and reading/commenting on my ramblings, I am so thankful to have “met” you all through this crazy little blogging world. You mean the world to me, and YOU ARE REAL TO ME.
Silly husbands, they don’t know anything.
