Talisman (Tali) and I first met ... gosh, what's it been? A little over a year ago? Cam and I actually head out that direction about every other month. Tali and I have developed quite a real life friendship. There's even been talk about her making a cameo appearance in an upcoming HNT shot!
Leighann I met just over six months ago. Not sure why I haven't been back (what kind of blogger friend am I?) but it was fun to see that the blogger girl was very much like the real life mom and wife. Yes Doc, even the boobies *wink*
So, this past Wednesday I had an opportunity to meet Apple (As American As Apple Pie) and Apple Hubby (yes, that would be Apple's husband who has a blogger profile, but no blog - not sure what is wrong with him *giggle*). They were on their way home to North Carolina, from Wisconsin, after leaving their We met at one of my
pie makers? Dinner went well, and it is always fun to actually meet someone you've had only cyber contact with. Unfortunately, I I've got plans to meet two other bloggers this summer - one of those is a firm plan (*giggle* I said "firm") - the other one is still in the works. And yes, I'll bring my camera next time! You just never know when an HNT moment might present itself - nothing like getting half-nekkid with strangers!

Tsk, tsk, tsk...No camera? I know your birthday is coming up, but you haven't hit senility yet, have you?
I'm glad you guys had fun. Cheers Sexy!!
There are so many bloggers that I would like to meet. A lot of them live in places I have been to over the last couple of years, but I didn't know them before I went to those places. It is my intention though to find a way to actually meet some of my blog buddies in person. Maybe a blog tour of some kind. It would probably have to wait until next year given how expensive gas prices are, but if I really focus on it and start planning and working towards it, I might get to do it!
Hmmm ... maybe I'll just direct my OCD tendencies towards putting this together.
Look how inspiring you are Dana! ;-)
Living in "Bland Rapids" MI, no one ever comes here....
You never know about those, fruit pie makers huh?
Glad you guys had a nice visit.
So what you're saying is I should save my money up for a trip to Illinois for some honey fun. *wink* Teasing.
I used to be part of a 'chatting' group that had weekly happy hours, this blog reminds me of how much I miss them.
~ $5 down...
I totally want to meet a lot of bloggers. So awesome that you did it.
There are a few bloggers who live very near to me, but I feel weird about inviting them out for dinner or drinks. I guess I shouldn't. You are inspiring, Dana.
You know, I just realised last week that Leighann went to the same high school as me and we grew up down the street from each other. Crazy how tiny this world is.
You totally need to come out here again. Stupid busy weekends. Your birthday weekend is when you should come. :P
I met some bloggers who were friends before blogging... and it's fabulous.
When are you coming to Montreal? I'm filling the Jell-O vat*wink*
I'm hoping to meet one of my first friends to visit my site when we go to California later this month.
Matt-Man, OK ... here's the truth ...
I *did* have my cell phone, which has a pretty good camera, but had no idea how to get the pics from the phone to my computer (I don't have an adapter cord). Senility? Maybe it's just a case of old dog, new tricks.
Jay, Chicago isn't that far from Arkansas ... and there are a few bloggers you could hit on the way up!
Buff, if they'd build a damn bridge over that lake I'd be there in a heartbeat!
Micky, I'm telling you, it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.
DME, I'm always willing to consider a little happy hour!
Karen, I've often wondered why you haven't met some of the bloggers that are near you!
Knight, and you haven't gone "home" to visit her why?? Let me know when you are in town next and I'll meet you two there!
Tali, I've planted the birthday weekend seed ...
Anndi, Montreal? I've never been but the Jell-O vat is tempting.
Apple Hubby doesn't have his own blog because he is lazy.
Dana, it was really nice to meet one of Sara's blogger friends. We are finally home. 1150 miles doesn't sound like that far, but when you're in a minivan it gets a little monotonous.
And yes we are a bit fruity, but all in all I have to say we've never been convicted of anything!!
Ok, now I'm jealous that Tali is getting the virgin HNT cami. *I* wanted that!!! I had my camera out in the car and our hotel was nearby. We could've cooked something up! It even had a hot tub...
Jeff, I do hope you have the opportunity - it's a lot of fun!
Apple Hubby, well, you probably don't need your own blog anyway. I'm sure Apple will be happy to tell all of your secrets!
Apple, you had a camera in the car and didn't bring it in? Shame on you! I wondered why it was you were talking about the hot tub ...
That's wonderful to have the occasion to meet other bloggers... Never happened to...I'm kind of too North..;-(( Maybe on day, I'll take a big trip around... ;-))
There are a lot of bloggers i want to meet IRL....but I'm actually afraid to. Seriously. How retarded is that?! It's the whole insecurities thing...the what if's and such. Gaaa....I'm so lame and you're not!!! lol
I've met approximately....NONE.
You're lucky Dana. :)
You are so lucky! I STILL haven't met any of my blogger friends. I'm sure one day I will, and yes, I'll remember my camera, if I can find it. I looked every where for that sucker to take to St. Louis, but it's just GONE!
You haven't been back because you got lost and actually had to CALL me! *gigglesnort*
Dana,
If you ever come accross the pond to England give me a shout and we should catch up,
Take care
Laters
Nicey
