I love a good reunion.
That's where I've been this weekend -- at least, that's how it seems. It is a singularly pleasurable experience to meet people in person and have them be exactly the way you thought they would be, only better: smarter, funnier, deeper, kinder, wiser. More. Not just kindred spirits, but kindredly spirited, old friends reunited after an open-ended separation. And new friends who fit that bill, too, whose acquaintance I am happy to have made, whose blogs I will forever frequent.
Now I'm tired. And I have to fly home tomorrow with an infant who would rather be practicing her newly-developed crawling skills. Instead, I'm going to confine her to our 18 square inches of allocated space and tell her she's not allowed to use her voice -- although the sweaty fat man not charmed by her little southern rendition of "Hi" and a coy, intentional wave is a cool customer indeed.
Wish you had been here. Maybe next time?
I adored meeting you in person. I'm already looking forward to next year!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited we were able to spend so much time together. Our panel rocked!
ReplyDeleteI totally wish I could have made it out to CBC I hope next time I will.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great event. Nice to have met you in person. I like the way you write and think. Plus, you are from the east coast, so you rock for that reason alone!
ReplyDeleteHope you flight home was good.
I'd love to go. Glad you had a good time. Do we get more updates on what happened??
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how I have felt when meeting my own kindred spirits of the blogging world. I'm so glad you got the have that experience too (and here's to experiencing it with each other some day).
ReplyDeleteDefinitely next time. I so look forward to the reports!
ReplyDeleteSo do we get your notes from your class or something?
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to meet you this weekend. What a fun, information filled time it was! I'm still trying to digest it all.
ReplyDelete(I hope you will blog about your flight home.)
Killing me! Absolutely killing me. It sounds great. Good luck with the sweaty fat man. Having a lot of personalk knowledge with that demographic, I'm pretty confident he'll be charmed by the baby.
ReplyDeleteBAAAAAA!!! What a FUN weekend! I just can't think of a better word for it. FUN. You and MommyJ and your cute mom and your cute babies...just so awesome. The whole weekend was just so great. I wish I could have played with your little one more! She's a at an age where it's hard to keep them contained. So curious and so excited about their new skills! Like, crawling, for example!
ReplyDeleteLove you!!!
I love nice people on planes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that I got to meet you. It was a great weekend.
It was so nice meeting you this weekend! You are are such a sweet lady! I feel I need to come over and read your blog more often!
ReplyDeleteI was really struck, too, by how it was more of a reunion than a first meeting with so many of the people there. Wonderful to meet you in person.
ReplyDeleteI hope you made it home without too much stress.
ReplyDeleteI sure enjoyed getting to meet you.
I really enjoyed the panel. I appreciated what you had to say.
I am so sad we didn't get to meet. Hopefully next time around we will. It was so neat getting to meet so many wonderful women - many of whom I feel are old friends.
