i'm so excited, and i just can't hide it.

i think i've been really lucky this year to be able to meet some of my favorite bloggers and become even better friends, but i won't lie, i still don't feel like it's enough! i have several more blogger friends that i want to meet in the flesh so badly i can barely stand it! one fellow blogger i've connected with and hoped to meet is...

the beautiful, funny, and super talented carla! and guess what? I GET TO MEET HER THIS WEEKEND!!!!! i've been so excited that i feel like i mention the upcoming meeting to chris at least once a day. and anyone else i've talked to has heard about it, too. i seriously can't wait.

also, i didn't tell you last week, but brittan and i had a webcam date, which will have to do until we can meet in person. she was so sweet (as i knew she would be), but she didn't have the boston accent i was expecting. isn't it funny how our minds can create voices and personalities for people we kind of know but haven't met in the flesh? i got to meet her pretty parrot posey for just a minute, and flojo joined in took over the conversation more than a few times!

brittan is also incredibly talented and has an etsy shop you should check out. i have one of her little felted owls, and trust me, it's even cuter in real life than it was in the pictures!

have you met any blog friends in real life? do you have plans to meet blog friends in real life?
