Blogging babes (and me) unite. Again!
This past week was an emotionally draining one. On Monday, my son began kindergarten. Later that evening, I wrote a dying friend a “farewell” note. She died on Wednesday. And on Friday evening, I was attending her wake.
Later Friday night, I met up with some supa cool bloggin’ babes. The banter! The camaraderie! The martini! T’was was just what my heavy heart needed.
Farrell joined us for the first time. And us straight-haired girls gathered around to covet her hair. And it was awesome to see blogging “slacker” Jaelithe come out. (If you ever want to guilt her into responding put a message on Raquita’s blog asking for her. heehee.) And speaking of Raquita? She’s very ready to give birth. We figured if she gave birth at the restaurant, it would be no big deal. She’s surrounded by moms. Plus? Rebecca used to be a doula. And Kristie is a nurse (who’s gone through labor four times herself). So between the bunch of us, we had it covered.
We caught up on each other’s lives. And mostly, talked of things deemed ”unblogable” while savoring some yummy sushi from St. Louis Fish Market. (Great choice Dana!) The sushi was so fine I almost proposed marriage to the chef when he came over to talk to us. (And by “us” I mean Dana.)
T’was fun. And more plans to get together are in the works. So we hope to see those of you who couldn’t make it (and you know who you are) next time!
P.S. I did have photos but my camera battery was low and my pics turned out wonky. Bummer.
P.S.S. Oh and Kristie recently said “farewell” to her beloved Sonny. Stop by her place and show her your love.
P.S.S.S. If you’ve got some wiggly kiddos who hate to sit still when it comes to applying sunscreen click here. I’ve got a new review on Midwestern Mommy Reviews about KINeSYS from The Parent Bloggers Network. Good stuff!

I am so jealous! Sounds like a great time. It is always a treat to meet in person. Now I wish I lived in St. Louis.
P.S. I am so sorry to hear about your friend.

I am so glad you guys had fun! I had a little car trouble. Okay, the thing died entirely and I was going nowhere really, really fast. Dangnabit.

I am slow in getting my photos up, my bad. It was a blast except my drink made me so sleepy. Which is way better than the alternative. Absolute Heaven.

A night out with the girls was just what you needed after the end of a hard week! I am glad it was fun, and you were surrounded by all those lovely, supportive women!

”unblogable” that’s an interesting topic

It was a lot of fun. Thanks for not mentioning that I drove down a one way street the WRONG way.
