Forks & ChopsticksHome About Me E-mail Me My Other Blogs Forks & ChopsticksFeed on Posts Comments Have you ever slept with a blogger Nov 9th, 2007 by Stephanie I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some really great people through my blog. In fact, one person e-mailed me last year after realizing that we were using the same adoption agency. I have met her in person a number of times and tomorrow she and her husband are going to come here for lunch. Then there’s Tammy, who drove all the way to the Philadelphia Zoo to meet up with me last summer. Along with Katie and all of our kids, we walked around the zoo chit-chatting like old friends. While there, Tammy mentioned how she would be attending a scrapbooking weekend in the Poconos* and asked me if I would be interested in attending. Oh, and she also said that I could stay in her room (with three other women) to cut down on costs. Normally, this would catch me a bit off guard. Here is this person, someone I just met maybe two hours ago, and she wants me to sleep in the same room with her for a weekend Doesn’t she know I snore Is she going to go psycho on me But then I remembered that in fact, she wasn’t really a stranger. I had read about how she is a college student, just like me, currently studying to become a nurse. How she deals on a daily basis the sometimes rude questions people at the supermarket ask about her children, or what it is like be a to parent of two children. I might have just met her face to face, but really I knew quite a bit about her through her blog. She had felt the need to share her story in an on-line journal, just like me and for that reason I just made a new friend. So yes, I slept with a blogger, and I’m not ashamed of it. Next weekend, Tammy and her family are coming to my house to meet Maya. I can’t wait. * Unlike Kristin, who gets invited by GM to an all expense paid trip for a media event in Memphis, my social life consists of scrapbooking weekends. Oh GM, call me ...
