My Side of the Story

Our first real day of vacation, and this is what Aaron is doing.

Last night, he took ill with a fever. So, at least for now, he's curled up in bed waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in while I try to keep four children quietly entertained in a hotel room. Hmmm. FUN!!!

So until the vacation continues as planned, I'll post my side of the story. This morning Erin posted this on her blog. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Well I'll tell what happened on my end.

One day, I was happily blogging along when I decided to check out the blog of a friend of mine. The problem was, I couldn't remember the title or address of her blog. So, like any smart blogger would do, I googled her family name. What I found was a list of other blogs. Well, I had to take a look at each and every one of them, (well, not every one of them; there's only so many hours in a day). That's when I found If You Give a Mom a Moment, (yes, Erin, I blurked on your blog too). It's Erin I thought. I used to know her husband. How interesting. And my, what a great blog.

Later that week I noticed her all over the blogosphere; suddenly she was everywhere. She's quite popular, you know. And that should come as no surprise; she's quite possibly one of the nicest bloggers out there.

Then, it happened. I opened up my blog and found she had left a comment on one of my posts. Whoa. What would you do if your ex-boyfriend's wife left a comment on your blog? Of course I showed my husband. He laughed and commented on how strange the blogging world is. But then it took me a minute to return the favor and leave a comment on her blog. You see, like many people, I'm not fond of some of my high school memories and am hesitant to revisit them, or anyone connected to them. But what Erin helped me realize is the past is the past, you live and you learn, yada, yada, yada ...

How about you? Have you blogged into someone you know? Was it awkward? Or was it totally rewarding?
