Blog Buddies

What a GREAT day yesterday was! I got my braces off!! Whoo hoo! I feel normal again!!! I can eat what I want, chewing gum is more meaningful, brushing my teeth is awesome....now that the "barb wire" is gone....it is awesome. I have a clear little retainer I have to wear....for the rest of my life. That is perfectly fine with me. After getting my braces off I had a dinner date...with Ginger @ Law of the Land! We have been emailing for a while now, but yesterday was the first time we actually met. It was so much fun. I felt like I have known her all of my life. She is a TINY TINY little thing....I look like Big Bertha next to her! UGH!!! She is absolutely precious! When I told me friends I was having dinner with a blog friend, they were a little worried that Ginger was gonna turn out to be "Bubba" , weighing 280lbs who was gonna kill me and stuff my body in a suitcase....well.....it's not Bubba. I wasn't worried about that anyway...it's not like we met on some online chat site!
We must have talked about every topic known to man! It was just really fun. I am going to be in Jackson, MS in October and November for a wedding, so I hope we can get together then. She did bring us some peppers. Which is perfect because I plan on making some pepper sauce tonight. I gave her a cardinal flower. I have much more to send her later in the fall once I start dividing.
And this is why I love blogging! I have met so many wonderful people that I would otherwise never gotten to know! Ya'll are great!

I will say it again, you are beautiful. I would take you out to lunch in a heartbeat. Yup. You Darla and myself. I might be the old biddy of the group, but I bet we would still have lots of laughs.

Ginger said...

Awww you're so sweet (check is the mail for that "precious" compliment - LOL!!!). I had an awesome time and it was just like we've known each other for years! Can't wait to see you when you come up here!
Thanks again for the cardinal flower! It is so special to have a plant not only from a blogging friend, but from a blogging friend's grandmother's garden!
As everyone else has said, your teeth/smile look AMAZING! Wish I had worn my retainer to keep my teeth straight, but oh well, I'm definitely not getting braces again!!
OK, now that I've worn out the exclamation point key on my keyboard, I'll shut up! :)

Ginger said...

Umm Ok I just had another thought --- is that "precious" like Gollum (My Preeeeeccccciioouus?) LOL :)

Susie said...

Tootsie said...
