Blogger meet-up!
I love living in a big city where there's actually the potential of meeting other bloggers...in real life!!
Yesterday, Ellis and I whisked ourselves down to center city after nap, and met up with Amanda from Household Opera. We found a nook in Starbucks where Ellis could play in front of the window reveling in the cars and people passing, which kept him entertained for an admirably long amount of time. And since we came all the way down there, I thought, hey, may as well get dinner, too. So we all sludged through the slush falling from the sky, sloshed down through the Subway, and arrived at my favorite Indian buffet, a very damp trio.
It was a lovely time. It's fun meeting someone 'new' when you already know so much. It eliminates a lot of the chit-chat that you have to go through when you start blank slate. It was fun finding that some of Amanda's interests intersect with some of my own (though her work was infinitely more developed than mine). It's fun meeting bloggers; and it's always so amazing how much like and unlike your mental picture of the person on the other side of blog is in real life.
Thanks, Amanda! It was fun. Hoping for more fun times in Philly.
(And Lilian, play date? museum date? SOON!?)

I had a great time too! Even with the "wintry mix." And thank you so much for suggesting dinner!

Yes, SURE! What about the Please Touch Museum? I have a membership card for 2 adults and 2 kids, so you may have to pay only for Ellis. Let's do it!
