Dancing at My Desk

A Great Evening

Recently, I got connected with someone I follow on Twitter by phone. Her name is Lisa and while we were chatting about business, we found that we have a lot in common on a personal level. Lisa lives in the Chicago area, but she said that she was going to be in Cleveland for an event. She also said that Elizabeth from Table4Five would be coming as well.

Here is something you have to understand. In the grand scheme of things, I’m “new” to the blogging community. My postitive blog has been online for almost 2 1/2 years now and I’ve tried so many avenues in the blogging world it’s pretty crazy. One of the very first Mom Blogs I started reading regularly was Table4Five. So I jumped at the chance to meet these ladies and I found myself sitting at a table with Elizabeth and Lisa last evening. Some others included A Cowboy’s Wife, BusyMom, Jodi from MomsFavoriteStuff and Young Mommy.

When I told my boss about meeting up with these ladies, he asked if I was starstruck. I told him I wasn’t. Not because they aren’t amazing women who do seriously awesome stuff in the same 24 hours I’m given everyday. I was completely at ease with everyone last night. It seems like we’ve all been “friends” for a long time. And yes, many of them look exactly like their avatars (cartoons excluded of course).

What did we talk about? Mommyhood and Blogging. What else?  I really enjoyed hanging out with these ladies last night. I found myself very much at home at a table of women who share a passion for blogging and meeting others in the blogging space. And I can’t wait to see many of them again at BlogHer this summer.
