One for my homies...

Crap... I missed a day of blogging yesterday. Awww... So much for NaBloPoMo. Oh, well...call it radio silence due to the election outcome! ;)

I swear I have a more active online life than offline. Between Blogger, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Delicious, The Babywearer, Diaperswappers... I know far more people online than not. Maybe that is not a good thing... hmm?

My cell phone address book is comprised largely of family, then friends (which I admit, I don't have a lot of "IRL"...)

Strangely enough.. despite my online whoring around - I don't do so well in social situations. I either feel like I talk too much, or clam up completely. And, in groups of more than three, I am pretty much a deer caught in the headlights.

I am far better one on one... but finding that one, proves difficult at best. I need to find a BFF I don't have to moderate myself around, where I can be my snarky, cynical, non-PC self, rough around the edges with a proclivity towards adult language... Someone who is comfortable with me popping my boob out nonchalantly while sipping coffee, and not missing a beat in conversation. Someone who doesn't thnk I am a freaky weirdo for co-sleeping, wearing my kids until long after they can walk on their own, and nursing until we're damned good and ready to stop, and not a moment too soon. Someone who hopefully has at least one kid near one of mine's age. Someone who can compare birth stories, and bad mommy moments over sushi and wine, and the minutia of feminine hygiene products, and the fact that my baby hasn't crapped in 3 days. Someone who can dish on the latest celebrity gossip, but who still knows what's going on in the world.

Then I stop and think. Wait a minute. I do have one of those. Actually, far more than just one. Samantha, Nellie, Rachael, Anne, Leslie, Holli,Cara, the list goes on... Even though we don't live close enough to hang out... we share so much with each other long distance and through these "interwebz"... and have genuine interest and concern for each other and our families. I know if I am ever in Arizona, Utah, Rhode Island, Texas, Oklahoma, Maryland... I wouldn't ever dare pass through without looking each and every one of you awesome beotches up and having a glass (or three) of wine.

LOVEFEST! ;)

That Rachael.... she is a smelly whore! Oh, and she beats her kids! Oh, and um.....

Oh, my GAWD I am SOOOOO kidding!!! ;) We LOVED hanging out with her and the boys!!! It was awesome! And so is she.... I was really nervous at first... cause you know.... that's how I ROLL! Plus, I thought she'd be all like.... "Um, where the hell did you get that ugly piece of fabric.... and why do you insist on wearing your kid in it?" And "Um... have you plucked your eyebrows, in like 3 years?!" Or... "Oh. My. GAWD! Couldn't you wear some concealer on that ZIT??!" But, no, she was amazingly cool.... despite her Rockstar blog and Flickr status! LOL!

So, yeah..... we seriously had the BEST time hanging out with Rachael and her boys!! I was amazed at how alike we are. I mean. Really.

We both talk mad crazy crap about people (Yeah, you! Just kidding!!) Also, we both love Samoas, and Watermelon bubblegum, South Park, and about a zillion other things. We talked about motherhood, the best jeans for beating the dreaded mommy "muffin-top", our husbands' affinity for eschewing their dental hygiene.... sex, and oh, like a million zillion other things. So, yeah! Rock on! Really.... we just got along as if we'd known each other for a really long time.

I am so bummed to have them live so far away.... but the offer still stands for her to come here and visit!! :)

The boys had a great time running all over and macking on the ladies! Playground Pimps, indeed! LOL!

We also met up and had lunch at Chipotle, and then took the boys to Borders where they took over the kid's section. I mean, they made that shit their OWN! Taking books off the spinny-shelves, and looking at books... trying to unwrap puzzles. Oh yeah! FUN! Plus, Travi & Gavi are both obsessed with numbers and letters, so it was fun to watch them pointing them all out! :)



Anyway.... I was really sad to have to go back home.... except for the fact that Travis had been King of the Crankies all week without Daddy. So, Rachael.... you are totally Travis' internet Auntie.... and anytime you're in Cali.... you got my number! :)
