I dont have to work tonight!
I love it when I dont have to work. I took tonight off so I could get some good sleep before tomorrow. I get to meet the Divine One, Ms. Em. some of you know this. She flew out here to catch a cruise from LA, but she is spending a few days with some of her online friends. I am so happy to be one she is going to meet.
so many of us go online and write these blogs, respond to other blogs and meet new people. We dont really meet each other though. We talk online, become friends, share happy times and painfull times, but not many of us really get to meet. Its not like we may not want to. But Im sure there is a lot going on in most of our lives that prevent us from taking off and meeting the people we talk to here. I know the restrictive three weeks vacation I have keeps me from hopping on a plane to meet you. I would love to meet some of you, have a party and celebrate the friendships we have made here.
Every once in a while the planets align and some of us get to meet. Last year John and I met Amber and her Husband Chris in Vegas. We had the best time and became even better friends than we were online. It was like we had known each other for years and met up again, rather than for the first time. We are going to meet them again this year in Vegas. I am really hoping to make it to the UK some time and see life on that side of the planet.
since my son is on the other side of the states, I now have more reason to hop on a plane and head to the east coast. I am thinking maybe next year, heading out that way. John doesnt know that yet. I figure if I can get out that way, I can see a bunch of people. Oh what fun that would be. I may have to call in sick for a week, but it would be worth it.
I will take a bunch of pics of our visit tomorrow. Not sure exactly what the plans will be, it depends on how bad the weather is. there is supposed to be a pretty bad storm, with high winds. I have a back up plan doing some local stuff and dinner with John and Em at a local resteraunt. in any case, it will be fun and I cant wait.
That's cool. I was just talking to my friend in the U.K. (via e-mail) and remarking at how long we've been friends. So much has happened in our lives since we met. I would love to fly to London and meet him in person. I wonder ... how much all that would cost? Hhmmmm. I'd have to get a passport. Hhmmmm.
ReplyDeleteyou're gonna have an excellent time!!! Go and have a BLAST!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - whatever you have planned will be just fine....Now go get some rest and I'll see you in the morning.......I can't wait either.
ReplyDeleteI think the weather is going to play nice today. Against Johns wishes, I am going with my original plans.
ReplyDeleteI found its not what you do together is just the time you have together that is important. The time we spent in and around the pool, hot tub and hammock were the best memories for me! Although, not to be out done by the memories we make in vegas soon!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned going to the East Coast next year. We already have plans with my Mum to travel up and down the east coast for three weeks July/Aug 2011. I was going to arrange a blog reunion of sorts.
