i went to a blogger lunch in slc and felt like a gd celebrity

hey mindi..........


remember when you met up with your blogging bff's at cafe rio when you went on vacay to park city?

you were super super nervous about it because it seemed like a shit ton of pressure.  but amy was with you and acted as security blanket as well as bff and you thoroughly enjoyed your night.

i did love meeting kami of no biggie--she was a huge positive blogging influence on me and she was cute and smart and helped me learn how to use my fancy camera that russ bought me for mother's day:
here i am with arianne who i am still friends with, tiburon eye roll, kami's bat shit crazy sister becky and kami:

i have to admit that i felt like a psuedo celebrity that night, legit.  everybody up there had already met up for lunch with each other so i was the new girl for the evening and i ate it up like the attention whore i am:

 
the only bummer about this evening was that vanessa was absent--i can't remember where she was but i'm sad she's not in this photo.  she is the one friend that i still remain in touch with from blogging and i love the shit outta her.

this was during the "golden months" of blogging.  before it got complicated or hard.  or like a chore.  it was something that saved my life during a period where everybody knew about me and what i had done in stg. i wanted nothing more to be able to have a "do over".....and blogging gave me that chance.  i will forever be thankful for starting this because these memories are absolutely priceless and i'm only mad that i stopped doing it when i did.  wtf.

I know, I missed out. Why does everyone keep rubbing it in?

Aimee said...

OK... enough already! Next time y'all have one of these, I'm on the first flight out... I'll just sleep on your lawn.

Ashlynn {mamabear} said...

Mindi I've decided you need a talk show - we all love you.

Can't wait for the St. G version of meeting bloggers.

Amy said...

Had such a great time after the traumatic afternoon... Glad you came to "THe Valley" for some blogger meeting goodness. Love ya babe!

Michael said...

Love the enthusiasm, but not half as much as I love the head tilt in all of your pictures. I'm not sure if you are striking a pose or just making sure that your head fits in the picture. Whatever the case, you have it down.

Still so-o bummed I missed it!

Vanessa said...

I wake up every morning so excited to read your blog. And it's like Christmas morning! You don't disappoint. I'll be there next time!

Why oh why did I have to be sitting on a boat, basking in the sun, when I could've been at the blesbian love fest??

Trina said...

{sigh} Wish I could have been there.

Kristina P. said...

Looks like a fun time! Hopefully I can join the next one.

Petunia said...

SO bummed... I am there next time! I agree with Ashlynn.... You really need your own talk show!

Mia said...

I am thankful that I am ALMOST over my jealousy ;)

Missing this party was worse than being subjected to fake mashed potatoes from a box. I'll never get over it. Can you put a party together is St. George? I'll bring the cocktails. Top shelf, of course.

Tiffany said...

Amen. Hallelujah. Pass the green Jell-O.

P.S. Why haven't you ever mentioned on your blog about your sultry voice? It's an important detail for your readers.

omar said...

I like reading about blogger meet-ups. Looks like fun!

And like Tiffany said, why didn't we know about the "deep, sensual voice"? We demand an audio clip.

(What do you mean I haven't been reading here long enough to make demands?)

Holly H. said...

I'm so glad I finally got to meet you, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have missed it for just about anything! It was a great night, just wish you could've stuck around longer. Next time, we're planning a night that doesn't involve any other appointments on your part! :)

tiburon said...

You are pretty sa-weet yourself :)

simply kris said...

i wanted to come but it was a school night and my entourage was put to bed early and i followed suit. glad you had a love fest and hope to join in the next time around.....

Josh, Lindsie, and Ava said...

I am so glad you had such a great turn out. I so wish I could have been there.

Ida said...

I am still here green with envy!

Omgirl said...

Mindi, that was such a fun outing we had back in...um...January of 2001? That's what the picture's date says. Hey, I'm all about the time travel. In fact, let's go back and meet each other in 1987. That would have been a BLAST.

Truly, the best time I've had in years. And I agree with Ashlyn...you need a talk show!

Devri said...

I'd watch that talk show!!!

Misty said...

I heart you Mindy. Seriously - all of these people love you and continue to visit your blog because you are real, you are cute, you are sweet and gosh darn'it we all like you!

kami @ nobiggie.net said...

Not sure if you will see this, cuz it's a ways down, but I loved it and I want to do it again!
