I met Oreneta last night!
We had a great time chatting, getting to now one another in the “real” world and (in my case) ditching any preconceived notion of what I thought she might look like. (She looks fabulous. I had imagined she would but I’d given her a different hair colour in the virtual world.)
We also indulged in some rich lattes (decaf) and dessert.
If you’d like to see what we ate, check out Oreneta’s site – she took a picture. Smart girl. Takes her camera everywhere.
I ate all my fattening dessert. Oreneta left a huge hunk of hers. And then she was going home to walk her dog. I went home and was a slug – read a book. Oh, well. I said I needed to put on a few lbs.
We also both used swear words. Kindred spirits!
What a wonderful perk of blogging - making new friends, meeting new friends and expanding your world.

It was soo fun....you didn't see what I had eaten for dinner before I didn't finish my cake...and the dog only went around the block.
So neat to meet you in person
oreneta:
It was fun to meet you too!
And, okay, I don't feel like such a pig for finishing my dessert.
Blogs are to these days what the CB radio was to the 70s.
Lucky gals! And boy does that photo look delicious!
guy:
Never used a CB radio ("Breaker, breaker...") but perhaps blogging is even better?
patricia:
Yeah, I could handle another piece of cheesecake - and another visit with a blog pal!
That's very cool!
You could eat my dessert, I don't do desserts. Although I know the odd "naughty" word. Like Celine Dion.
that's great! remember when it was so taboo to meet someone from The Internet in person? (well, I've yet to do so, so I shouldn't talk...)
all mod cons:
I'm not sure if I should touch this comment about desserts...I might say something wrong - like Celine Dion.
bec:
It's still kind of taboo - I had people (including one of my kids) questioning me about my meeting.
Hey, I'm not that dumb!
What fun! Wish I could have been there too...
That. is. SOOOOOOOOOO not fair!!...I wanted to come too!!!! damn!
I'm glad you guys had a good time tho....where was Nomad and Trish?
trish:
I wish you could have been there too. Not sure where you live - could you have made it for 8:30 at Y&E?
(As for the other plan - way too far for me.)
beth:
Get yourself up here, girl! You can stay at my place. You're used to dogs and boys, right?
Nomad - cottaging.
Trish - not sure - see above.
Hey, great blog...very cool...
It is incredible where you can get if you beguin to blogging:))
Warm greetings from Chile.
You can visit me (and of course make your comment) if you are confortable...
Not speak spanish? I got a translator:)
What was it like meeting another blogger?
What were the swear words? Details! I need details!
Cool. So when do I get to meet you?
eduardo:
A visitor from Chile? I'm honoured. And I do not speak Spanish so a translator is a must.
dorky dad:
Details?
We both wore templates and our conversation included a lot of "sidebars."
(And we both used the "F" word!)
diesel:
When you're doing your North American marketing/promotional tour for your book and hit Toronto, e-mail me. (I'm an author groupie.)
Yeah I could make it to Y&E with some notice...I'm just not around home much these days.
Will be again once school starts but then Oreneta and Nomad are gone.
Hmmm....
As for Other Beth...maybe all us Canadians should make a road trip to to Ohio to come and see YOU! LOL
trish;
Maybe we could try again later in August? Before Nomad and Oreneta leave?
And, yeah, let's descend on Beth in Ohio!
When bloggers collide- I love it!
princess pointful:
It was a great experience - had a wonderful time.
'hunk' - pun intended??
