My "Computer Class"

I had the pleasure of having dinner with 13 fellow bloggers on Saturday night. As you can imagine, putting a group of women whose common interest is wordage, was quite entertaining. Funny, we never had a single moment of awkward silence.

I didn't know that bloggers were so beautiful. When I say beautiful, I mean inside and out. A precious group of ladies.

From left to right: Tracey {NC Brownings}, Amy {Bambino Bliss}, Rachel {NC Rachel}, K2 {Secret Agent/Reader}, Heather {Life with the Lords}, Kristen {KR & Company}, Janel {Dandelion Dayz}, Susan {Carpool Queen}, Kellie {La Vida Dulce}, Jessica {Chubby Dove}, Sandy {Seasoned Sister}, June {Bye, Bye Pie}, Robin {Chosen} and moi!

I finally got to meet Kellie. She was the brainchild behind this shindig. And she did a diggity-dog good job of playing hostess. She even took the time to create a beautiful embroidered gift for each of us.

I ended up sitting next to June. Because of her continual hysterical comments, my side hurt from laughing.

See, even CPQ could hardly contain herself.

With a room full of bloggers, the flash photography was enough to recreate a lightening storm.

One of my favorite moments was meeting a new friend, The Chubby Dove. As you can see, she's not Chubby. But her blog sure has a cute name! We hit it off as soon as she walked in and didn't stop talking until it was time to leave.
Our meeting place was a cute little italian bistro. When the food came out, so did the cameras. The waitress surely thought we were crazy. But she didn't know that we were a group of super-cool internet I've-never-met-you-before kind of friends.

As I was heading out the door to for my evening out, my hubby asked if I needed to take my computer. No, I just need my camera was my response. When I got home I was giddy and told hubby that I was "in my happy place." He said, wow! you must have learned a lot in your computer class. Hunh? I guess our pre-evening communication was a little off. He thought I was going to a blogger meeting. Actually, I was going to meet bloggers and eat this:

Thanks, girls, for a fun-filled evening.

We're going to plan another one, so if you are a NC blogger/faithful reader, let me know.
