Booyah!!!
I love blogging for many reasons, but one super awesome perk is meeting all of these wonderful people and making great friends from all over the country. My first ever blog-friend was Joy the Baker in LA. We clicked. And by “clicked” I mean she helped me get my Buttercakes blog off the ground, so I sent her the cookbook my grandmother wrote. She totes rocks my socks.
Then I met Kitty, from Fahrenheit 350. Ahhhh, Kitty. I love that woman. She was living in Portland when I met her, but now she’s in Utah. Such a doll. We like to text each other during random life moments, just to chat. We also send each other baked goods. Jealous? At some point in time, we are taking a vacation together. At some point.
Next we have Deanna, the crafty lady that made the giveaway shirt. She’s also in Portland, or in a suburb very near it. I instantly fell in love with Deanna’s work over at Recycled Lovelies, so she started checking out my cakes on my Buttercakes blog…then one thing led to another….well, you can figure it out. And isn’t she gorgeous?!?! Good Lord. This woman has two teenage daughters! I was blown away when I found that out.
What is with all of the west coasties? I’ve always considered myself an east coast kinda girl, but I’m getting along with everyone on the other side so well. And guess what?!?!?! There’s a new one! Meet my friend, Booyah, from the blog Pantsless in Seattle. First of all, she’s a damn trip. I can’t stop laughing when I read her blog. But she also leaves me novel-length comments that I just love so much. Don’t tell anyone, but I always read her comments in the bathroom at work. You wanted to know that, didn’t you?
This is what she said when I asked if I could blog about her: “Totally okay to blog about me! It fits in my theory that the more people mention my name on the internet, the sooner Keanu will find me and ask me to make him a man.” Yeah…she has a thing for Keanu. I’m going to pretend I don’t know that about her and keep reading her hilar posts anyway. Jay-kay! Its cool! We all have our crazy celeb crushes…
Anyway, she pretty much rules, as do all of these fine ladies that I’ve met through the blogosphere. Thanks for everything, ladies!

Have you read Children of the 90s post on 90s slang? She covered booyah, and that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw your post. Not that it’s connected at all.
And your grandmother’s cookbook must be awesome–I use the recipes you taught me all the time and people freak out over them.

haha. I’ve always felt like an east coast gal myself also, but I made some west coast friends on twitter so we have that in common evan.

Um, hello schmoopy! You are too too sweet! I’m so happy we’re new blog besties and I’m amazed to be included in a list of so many wonderful bloggy women. I think you are a little blinded by your lovefulness of me but I appreciate your nice words all the same.
And know all the things you said about me are more than mutual; I looooove that I found your blog and it now has a prominent place is my reading list (and my heart!).
You = super fantastic and I heart you!
