Ok, no one cried, but we sure had a great time! I was so lucky to meet up with some Minnesota bloggers on Saturday night. Twin #2 came along as the designated driver and official photographer. We haven't uploaded the photos yet. What a great bunch of women! When I arrived everyone already had a martini in their hands, so you knew it would be a good night.
In no particular order I'll introduce my new blogging friends. Lesli from Pretty Random Thoughts is the cutest thing in a pair of sandals. She made me think of a mix between Bernadette Peters and Debra Messing. She's got a GIVEAWAY going on HERE!
The rather famous WhiskeyMarie was there too! In real life she made me think of a smarter more sophisticated Liv Tyler. And frankly a prettier one too. WM is a wonderful person - full of great stories and interesting observations. The link to her blog isn't working but most of you know her anyway. She shared a method for making rhubarb sauce, that she swears makes a great martini. She also made me swear to try her "F-ing Good Chocolate Chip Cookie" recipe but I can't find it!!
MommyLisa was one of the organizers. She reminded me of a much younger funner Ellen Barkin. She's got great stories. She's every bit as fun in person as on her blog. Her husband must be laughing on a daily basis.
Cathy from Antsypants was the co-organizer. She is quiet and cute like Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her blog is great fun, especially boozedays, when she shares a good cocktail recipe.
We discussed our favorite blogs - were your ears burning Dr. Monkey? - and I wrote some of them down. Those notes are stuffed somewhere in my purse. And we talked a LOT about food and our favorite food blogs. As soon as I find my list I'll post them. From them I learned about the Twitter Kidney and the Radio Boobs.
A great evening - hope to see more of YOU there next time!

Yes! My ears and my anus both were burning. Although I'm pretty sure for different reasons. ;o)
Okay I agree with all of those observations! and then who are you? The Iowa response to the late great Dixie Carter?
You are soooooo super sweet. I swear I love you!!!!
No pictures uploaded yet? I will try to put mine up today. I am frankly worried about the ones your daughter took--so many times I wasn't ready. I am very much prepared to look like a dork!!
xoxo
Looking forward to the pictures!
Can't wait for the pics. It's hard to do that in Iowa, since we don't the blogging population here. I have met some bloggers who were in the writer's workshop and they were wonderful people.
I think the chocolate chip cookie recipe is under F-ing Awesome instead of F-ing Good. I am going to try to find it too.
Look at you, comparing us all to celebs! Love it. I'd say you are spot on. Lesli is the cutest thing in a pair of sandals. Everyone was so fun. I can't wait to do it again! I'm compiling my thoughts, and looking over my notes and hope to post my take on the evening soon!
I finally blogged about our dinner & put up pictures!
It sounds like it was a lot of fun. It's great to have time off and to meet new people. Can't wait for the photos.
Liv Tyler? Aww...shucks. And spot-on with the other girls- Cathy totally IS Maggie G!
You guys were so much fun- so smart, so funny, so easy to be around. I'd hang out with any of you again in a heartbeat.
If you can't find the recipe, I'll send it to you, my dear. No worries.
;)
I'm here from Antsy Pants and Maggie Gyllenhaal is such a good comparison for Cathy!
What fun! I am very jealous but so happy for you!
