How about a bloggity meet-up?

I have met friends in real life who I initially met online before, but this was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting up with someone I met through the “blogging world.”  So fun!   I love meeting new people, and I have a blast putting a 3-D face to a name.  

Noooo, no pictures.  I completely forgot before we got in the pool and I’m not about to show you my post-pool face.  Scary.

Angela of Becoming Me is such a sweetheart!  She and her family were vacationing a bit south of here, so the kids and I packed up some swimwear and headed down for a short visit today.   Her children are just precious and talking to Angela in person was like talking to an old friend.  I could’ve ran my mouth for hours, except I had a hard time keeping a thought in focus as my own children continually risked their lives jumping off the edge of the pool.  Non-stop.   (I really am better at conversation, Angela!  Ha!)

Then there was the time we were in the indoor pool and a creepy dude invaded the personal space of us and our children, asked too many questions, even seeming to reach for them and I thought for sure my mama bear claws were going to come out and get really ugly really fast if he didn’t back off.   I’m dangerous that way.  I won’t speak for Angela, but from the look in her eye and the unspoken communication happening, she was getting the same heeby-jeebies.

Funny how even when you haven’t “met” in real life before, fellow mama’s can just instictively communicate without saying a word.

Angela:  “Looks like the sun is shining, let’s check out the pool outside before the rain comes!”

I ran with it.  We all did.  

Creepy Dude:  “Don’t leave on account of me.”

Um, yea, I think we will, thanks.  

Angela, is it ok to secretly hope a college nearby has an opening for The Professor?  Loved meeting you, sweetie, and we didn’t have NEAR enough time!  We could probably talk all night, huh?  :)  Hugs and enjoy the rest of your vacation!

I think she was relieved I wasn’t a stalker or an ax murderer.
