Virtual Friends

So, I’ve been meaning to post this since BlogHer ’11. The vid got lost in the editing room and then from my frontal lobe.

When I went to BlogHer, I was finally able to meet my virtual best friend. Alexandra has been a frequent commenter to CoolMom, which that alone endears a person to me. But she also was very frank about financial troubles at a time when I was in my own. I appreciated this honesty. I started to look forward to her comments here also because I thought she had a great sense of humor. The only time I knew what she looked like was when she sent me a picture when she won the General Mills snack giveaway.

She has now gone from blogger fan to blogger. She has her own site and was at BlogHer to get an award for her witty writing.  So, I brought out my gear and we sat down at the San Diego Marriott and talked, minutes after meeting for the first time.

  1. That is so Awesome! If you hadn’t told us, I never would have guessed that was your first time meeting, you seem like old friends. I agree that “the importance of humor is under valued” and Daphne you do bring lots of humor to the table, thank you for that and the above video, it was great to watch.

  2. DAPHNE!!!

    DAPHNE!!

    I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

    I could’ve talked to you all day.

    REally, the way I ran to you when I saw you in the lobby, my heart pounding.

    ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.

    I met so many, many wonderful people that I follow at BlogHer, and that is what made BlogHer worth every single thing it took to get there.

    I met my friends.

    I MET MY FRIENDS.

    I love you, Daphne.

    *do you see how happy I LOOK??**

  3. Oh, you two!!! I have been watching you both for years. Alexandra and I talked when we were having financial issues too. You both have made me laugh through hard times and not. I’m so happy that you two are happy!
