When Worlds Collide

What do you get when you mix predilections, rambling thoughts, obsessions, stuff and ummmm....?

TOTAL blogger AWESOMENESS. That's what.

Picture it.

Friday night. Downtown Disney. Six chatty bloggers and one good-natured (though slightly bored) husband.

Like I said. Awesomeness.

My blog idol friend Kristina and her husband made the trek from Utah to Cali last week for their anniversary. And very graciously allowed us to crash the party on Friday night at a restaurant at Downtown Disney.

My roommate, Davey, quite gallantly offered to drop me off so that I wouldn't have to pay the exorbitant parking fee. On the way, Kristina dashed off a quick text to let us know she was already seated at a table "in the back corner."

When I got to the restaurant, I asked the seating host, "Um...I'm meeting some friends here. Which one's the back corner?"

He showed me to the table, assuming I was with the boisterous birthday party. Luckily, I saw Kristina at the next table and recognized her immediately. I wouldn't have known how to explain to the host that I was meeting some friends for the FIRST TIME EVER.

Hugs were exchanged and greetings were made and I felt like I'd known these ladies for years.

And then the chatting commenced.

No topic was off limits.

From gossip around the blogoverse to the invention of the Vajazzler--

(Yep. It's EXACTLY what it sounds like.)

--to the Casual Bloggers Conference--

(And I'm STILL praying that the conference gods will smile down and provide a miracle that will allow me to attend...)

--we talked about anything and everything.

And then we went to Disneyland and they tried to kill me on Indiana Jones.

Luckily, I survived.

And then Kris kicked my butt on the Astro Blasters.

Oh, what a night.

    It was so fun to meet everyone, and I'm glad we could finally get together.

    And you didn't even die during Indiana Jones!

  15. I don't mean to brag, but I am a sniper for the CIA. Code name: Bullseye. Though I'm thinking of changing it to Lady Vajazzler.
