two things, maybe three.

yesterday i met up with madi and dani.

we spent six hours together.

s.i.x. 

it was honestly the best first blogger date

i've ever been on.

it felt like i was catching up with friends

i hadn't seen for the summer. 

we laughed, we talked, i cried.

we quoted 30 rock and baby mama,

and discussed how much we missed old disney.

we watched youtube videos and brainstormed the most

incredible ideas that i'm hoping with all my heart become reality. 

maybe it's weird to other people,

but the connections we make in this little world are real.

seeing madi and dani in real life wasn't weird at all.

in fact, it felt completely normal.

the only negative was having to cram so much

life-sharing into a measly six hours. 

madi's going on a mission in three weeks.

she'll be gone for 18 months and

the only communication we'll have is 

crayon drawing letters that depict my feelings 

on grey's and parenthood. 

and while dani will still be here

and communication via the interwebz can happen, 

i'll be gone. married. moved.

but the great thing is,

i know when we meet up again,

it will be just like it was last night.

three old friends catching up like crazy

and bonding over bacon. 

i'm too lazy to change the title

and i said this post would have two topics.

but the main reason i'm posting this video is because i'm obsessed with it.

and just so you know, every time i hear this song,

 i stretch out my hands like the kitty does during the "sail!" part. 

it makes the song so much better. 

pardon the repetition but...

saturday was aaaawesome.

bethie and i went to liz and diana's blog party.

i fiiiinally got to meet kylee.

i'm pretty sure i was awkward when i first saw her
but we just hugged it out and it was all good.

i am so, so, soooo happy cecilia  walked up to me and said hello.

when i saw her and kandice  walk in 

{ask beth, ashley and kylee}

i freaked out. 

"ohmygosh! i read about them and

 i want to talk to them but i don't know hoooow!"

yeah, pretty sure i said that at least a thousand times that night.

but then we chatted and i fell in love.

and for those of you wondering,

yes, cecilia and her hair are just as gorgeous in person as they are on her blog,

kandice is cuter and funnier than i could have imagined
{and her baby!!!! oh that natalie is beautiful!}

and kylee is even more hilarious and awesome in person. 

highlights of the evening:

"i'm so glad you all have personalities." - kandice

kandice telling me she thought i was in high school

and that she and cecilia both thought i was a punk-ish zumiez workin gangsta.

three cheers for blog friends becoming real friends.

oooooh and thanks to kylee and kandice for taking pictures that i could steal and post.

{kelli, this party haaas to happen now}

stalk for stripes

one day i saw that i had a comment and clicked. 

it was from a complete stranger.

i thought to myself "what the whhhat?!! someone other than my friends/family reads these ramblings?!" 

and i'm not gonna lie kids, i felt cool.  legit even.  

anyway, i clicked on her blog and read and read and read. 

i should probably be embarassed by telling you that i read everything but i'm not. 

it's that good.

and if you're reading this, please don't get creeped, but bridget, you've been completely stalked. 

back to the point of this post.

my blog friend 

{yes, i consider us blog friends even if she thinks i'm just a creeper}

is having a giveaway because she's just cool like that.

 isn't that hat darling?! 

and yes that's her and her husband and their love.

i tell you this because

a) i want to be one step closer to having that hat on my head.
b) if you don't already follow her blog you better. trust me.

re-cap

so sometimes i blog-stalk myself.

weird?

probably, but i don't care.

anyways,

whilst i was reading my past posts i realized something.

i say guilty a lot.

usually when referring to me not posting in "ages."

this needs to stop.

people also tell me i apologize too much.

this madness has got to stop.

so imma try my darndest.

kkk.

peace out girl scouts

and later to the skaters.
