It was bound to happen

So today i was leaving work and getting on the train and i saw one of the bloggers i read with her kids. Little family in the Big City is one of those blogs that when i see she's posted i read right away. Her kids crack me up, she's so honest and they seem like a normal family (no false pretenses)

Anyhoo, i saw her, i thought, wait, is that a patient's family i see....OMG NO it's a blogger. I had about 5 million thoughts go through my head, hmmmm, i should tell her she's so funny and i love her blog. If it was me, i know i'd be flattered....wait she looks tired, it's late, she's probably wanting to get everyone home and to bed. OMG i can't say hi to her, that would be so stalkerish of me. Technically i "know her" because i read her page, and watch the movies her family makes and pictures yes, that's strange and really what do i say. I totally got starstruck. i promise i was waaaaaay more composed when i met Katy Perry and Russell Brand. I was funny and totally myself....my cool self.

I walked by and said nothing. Then i felt it was fate! She had written about her adventures with mass transit in NYC. Oh the horrors, but thankfully she seems to have only had a few. Either way, i see her in the subway and then i read her post. yes i need to let her know. So i took that as a sign, she'd probably not think i was strange if i posted her a message.

The point Shannon, get to the point....i wrote her, i told her her kids were adorable (but really they were so much cuter in person) and her hair color is FAB! Yes i realize i'm a bit nutty, but i'm aware.

Her response back (ON MY BLOG....i'm so embarrassed because we all know i am growing a cactus and i never write), was sweet, she didn't think i was crazy, and she wished i had said something OH and she had read some of my posts (also slightly embarrassed, i never really know who will read my stuff). She also encouraged me to write. SO Abbie, IF you do see this, you motivated me to write after a 3 month hiatus. Gee, i used to be so much better.

Here's hoping i keep on it. I really don't know how bloggers can post once a day and feed their children. Maybe they need to post once a day TO feed their children. That's motivation :) Ah to have advertising.
