Bloggers, Bloggers Everywhere!

Okay, so if you're here... I mean sitting in a chair, staring at your monitor, with your hand on a mouse as you scroll through reading blog after blog after blog....

Or wait, maybe you don't read blog after blog after blog. Maybe you only read OUR blog! Yes? Nah, surely not. Surely you're a blogger who has made, what I like to call, "BLOGGY FRIENDS".
So do you ever think you see them out in public? I mean has it ever happened to you, too?

Seriously, I was visiting my mom's church a couple of months ago and they had this out-of-town singing group come in. One of the ladies looked SOOOO familiar, that after it was over, I literally walked over to her and asked her her name. I was just SURE she was a blogger. But I couldn't think of a name, just thought she had to be one that I'd seen before. But after she told me her name, I still had no clue. She didn't look at me like "Oh, I know you too!" so that was another sign. But alas, I finally even asked her if she had a blog. I'm sure at this point she was like "WEIRDO!" But I just smiled and laughed it off when she said no. I mean honestly, she was super sweet about it. Oh well... I'm a moron.

Wait, you don't do this too? It's just me?

Well, what about those famous blogger kiddos? I mean we all see each other's kids more than we see each other, right?

For instance, I try to have lunch at my kids' schools with them once a week. I take turns - Cam (12) one week and Riley (9) the next week. Back and forth, back and forth. My 18 year old, Mathew? Well, he doesn't WANT to be seen having lunch with his mommy. I mean even if I am one super cool mom that all the kids say, "Sunshine, your mom is so cool! You're lucky!" (Sunshine would be Mathew's nickname) Still, Mathew doesn't think having lunch with me would be so cool. Eh, no biggy. That just means more of me to share between Cam and Riley!

So anyway, where was I?

Chasing a rabbit..... yea.

Oh yea, I was talking about seeing blogger's kids out in public... or at least THINKING I do. So last week, I went to Riley's school and had lunch with her. And as I'm sitting there with her in this sea of 3rd graders, I look over and see a little boy. Instantly I'm like WOW, that looks so much like Mimi's twins Ross & Sam. But this isn't uncommon, there's a set of TWINS here in our town that look SOOO much like her twins too.

So back to the cafeteria.... Then while we're sitting there eating, I see a darling little girl and I thought, "Hey, that's what Emily will look like when she's 9! I wish Carrie could see her." I should've grabbed my camera, but how weird would that look? I mean I know I'm weird, and you know I'm weird, but does Riley's school really need to know? I think not. Not just yet.

So I sat there eating. Of course I tell none of this to Riley. She'd have no clue who the heck I was talking about anyway: "Carrie who? Mimi who? Emily who?" But I sat there thinking "How odd is it that I know these other bloggers so well, that I am seeing their look-alike CHILDREN out in public.... and even know their names?!"

Then I smiled.... knowing I have friends all over tarnation that I consider FRIENDS and I know them and they know me. Hey, more friends is always a great thing!

Can't have too many friends.

Hugs & Smiles!
