all systems are go

When I joined the blogging world, the last thing I expected was to find a friend in another blogger.  Turns out one of the first blogs I read belongs to Ang, who just lives  a couple of towns away (which in rural KS in nuthin)  Last night, she and her adorable boys, Sam and Will, stopped by the Liq for our very first face-to-face visit.  Erin asked me later if it felt awkward, and I have to say – it could not have been easier.  We hugged, then Will gave me a hug (guess he figures if it’s ok for his mom to hug me, he can too!)  We chatted like we’ve known each other forever.  Her boys are soooo cute – I’m really glad she brought them, cuz after reading so much about em, it was fun to meet them too.  I’ve got to say, Ang is so sweet and as all of her readers already know – such a good mom.  As of now, she’s the frontrunner for my BBF (Best Blog Friend)  Of course we got a picture to commemorate the event!  

 

 

 

Note to Ang – if you want to stay my BBF, next time we take a picture together – for god’s sake tell me my eyeliner is all over the place!  I look like a Goth Queen who got dressed in the dark (hence the pink shirt). 

 

That cute little booger in front of me is my Hug-a-Bud Willie.  Sam took the picture, and I think he did an excellent job!  Anyway – I can’t wait to meet up again!

 

I’m talking to Sheltered Living again about an accounting position.  I have an interview on Monday afternoon with the head of the accounting department.  I’m pretty sure I’ll accept this time if  they offer me a job.  Even if it is just $10.00 an hour.  I’m to the point where not only do I need to get out of the house, but I need paid health insurance.  When I quit my job a year ago, I never ever dreamed I’d still be unemployed at this time.  (yeah – I work, but it pays so little, it doesn’t really count)    There’s another added bonus to working full time – it’ll give me all kinds of fun stuff to write about! 

 

By the way – thanks to my readers who commented or emailed me about my blogging troubles.  My frame of mind seems to be the determining factor in how often I write, and at the moment……wait, yes still at this moment, I’m feeling pretty good, so all systems are go.

BBF

Barb,
I was telling a friend of mine this weekend the same thing -- I thought it might be awkward (our meeting), but it was just like talking to an old friend. You are so danged nice ... Oh, and I didn't even notice the eyeliner being askew, and you look FAB in the pic, so no worries!

I've got my fingers crossed for ya with the job. Even if it's $10 an hour, there's always room for a raise. GOOD LUCK! --Ang

P.S. I'm glad you don't think I'm a peckerhead. :)-

Congrats on finding a friend

I have also met some really incredible people thanks to the blog. It's amazing to think how many people you reach thanks to the internet. And it really drives home what a small world it is.
