I met up with Ashley and Brooke at Hagermann's for lunch only to find that it was closed for the holidays, so we tweaked our plan and went to Kneader's instead.
For once, I thought to take a self-portrait before we ate. It was funny posing for this picture because they are both so tall, I seriously felt like a member of the Lollipop Guild.
Since they are both Oreo lovers, I wrapped up a bag for each of them. These two have a gift for staying skinny despite their love of eating (why didn't I get that gift?), and have blogged hilarious stories about Oreos.
We had a totally tasty lunch and lots of substantial stuff to talk about. I love that blogging is a shortcut to friendship! These two are interesting, insightful, funny and real all at the same time. Good times.

Comment Window Tidbit: My time off from work is flying by too fast. I was afraid of this, and rightly so!

Speaking of time flying by too fast, I felt like our lunch took place in some sort of time warp. You are so right about the shortcut to friendship. I used to worry if it would be awkward to meet blogging friends in real life til I met some and it's always so comfortable and fun and there's always a million things to talk about. I felt like we didn't even scratch the surface yesterday. That picture of me with the Oreos might be the single most unflattering picture of me on the web, but that was so thoughtful of you to bring them! Can't wait to do it agian sometime!
The saddest part about this post is the fact that Ashley and I are going to be the only two comments...
Once again, I had so much fun and could have sat there all day. We need to schedule another lunch in June and plan for more time. I feel bad about how quickly we had to leave.
The oreos were so thoughtful and wrapped so cute. I feel like I've known you forever and love how the conversation can move from totally serious stuff to the silly and back in a flash.
Thanks again. I feel like a rockstar for getting our own post!
I had never read Ashley or Brooke's blogs until you introduced them today. What fun posts to read! I'm glad you introduced them.
You're so right. Blogging clears the way for good discussion. I love having the small talk out of the way when I meet a blogger.
There are several bloggers I would love to meet. Someday...someday... I hope to thank you and Michelle in person for all of the good mail and friendship you have given me.
Yeah, new blogging friends! It's been a long time since I explored your sidebar.
The time is going by really fast. Jason keeps saying that since this is his only time off also.
It has been so fun to meet up with blogging friends. It's amazing how you can never meet anyone in person and yet feel so comfortable and know so much about them when you do finally meet face to face.
Double stuffed oreos are plain evil.
I don't really like regular oreos... but I am SERIOUSLY IN LOVE WITH PEPPERMINT ONES. I was just saying last night-- I'm running to walmart today to buy whatever is left.
I can't wait to read these blogs! I love when bloggers introduce other bloggers!
The bloggers I would like to most meet- already met them You Michelle & kristi!!!
I love the shortcut to friendship, too! Anything that helps to get the small talk out of the way is seriously great in my book.
Interesting, insightful, funny, and real - what a combination!
I quite like Oreos.
I've already met so many great bloggers. I guess I would have to say Jane and Lelly.
I get best...or worst(depends who's doing the awarding!)mother of the year award -my 12 year old makes an oreo shake everyday!Yikes.
This post reminds me of when a few of us 'sistas' met you for the first time!I have been posting a pic everyday this month -so I have no other time for meeting new blogs!hahahaha (J/K)
This was my 1st time to their blogs but I like that they care about matching sibling clothes and jammies and they both like Spode!
I want to meet you and Michelle so I can do creative Friday. I would love to meet Melinda, Holly, Kacey, Kim Sue, Amie... Pretty much all whose blogs I read and who read mine!
I don't like Oreos but that story about the meltdown over nine Oreos made me laugh out loud. So funny!
I know both Ashley and Brooke in real life, and yes, they are both hilarious and do have a gift for staying skinny!
I love Oreos. I ate some regular ones recently and they felt like a letdown after buying Double Stuf for so long!
It's so great how you've been able to meet so many people through blogging. It's funny to think that blogging has only been popular for a few short years, but it's becoming hugely popular. Power to the people.
