Whether over a dinosaur-restraining stone wall, an apartment balcony railing or a kitchen table cup of coffee, pre-21st century female friendships were largely predicated on proximity.
With the advent of keyboard-initiated conversation, women we admire, follow the family antics of, and frequently feel deeply connected to, we've not even met face to face.
Friday, I got to meet---and in one instance, re-meet for a second time---some lovely ladies who fall into all of the above categories. Friends borne of blogdom become "real;" now that's holiday magic! (As was making it home from D.C. just afore the East Coast snowstorm...)
Beth, the amazing RoleMommy and Jill, a.k.a. ScaryMommy, but in real-life, not at all!
L-R: The robot of See Mom Run, Me (of Twinfatuation, you are here!), Beth of RoleMommy and author/editor of See Mom Run, Jill of Musings from Me, Jessica of A Parent in Silver Spring and Julia Beck of FortyWeeks and Philanthropic Moms.

Catholic Teacher Musings
Haiku loving friend!
All of these incredible women, their words, their verve, their spark, Make My Monday!
(As did the snowstorm that hit the East Coast...)

What fun! I would love to meet so many of my fellow bloggers. Somehow. Someday.
I would love to meet Laura - she is such an inspiration! Looks like you had awonderful time!
PS - I would love to meet you too, but you already know that!
How much fun was that to be able to meet some of us! I think I would like to meet a few people but one being Missy at Twin Monkey's!
Thats great! I recently got to meet some of the mommies in my online playgroup this past fall. It was surreal. Felt like we've been best friends for years, but it was the first time we actually met. How did working moms make friends before the internet?
Lovely post.
I'm on my 2nd day of being 100 percent lazy...claiming I can't do ANYTHING because of the snow....still in my P.J.'s. Oh it feels so good. Again, thank you for the wonderful, uplifting visit. Feels like we have been buddies forever..in a way..we kind of have.
You look terrific in our picture but I sort of look like a man in a Christmas jacket.
Oh well....Peace & Joy!!
OH! I won! Yeah me! (do you have my address already?)
How fun! I can't wait to finally get a chnace to meet some bloggers/turned friends when I travel with the family in the spring!
Great bunch of beautiful ladies! :)
Happy Monday!
HAH! I love that Laura's description is in Haiku :)
How cool to meet bloggy buddies in real life! Very nice.
And wait - that's me!! I'll send along my address to you. I'm so excited to read the book!! Thank you :)
There's so many bloggers I would love to meet. You of course ;). I'm excited that I'll be meeting Jill (scarymommy) and many others at the Baltimore SITS conf in March. I'd also love to meet Pauline from Classy Chaos and Debbie from Vodkamom. Although, I'm pretty awkward. I quite embarrassed myself the last time I met a bloggess that I read on a regular basis.
How much fun! I would love to have a huge Blogapalooza where we could all meet! Can you imagine?!?!
I am a little behind reading my favorite blogs, so my apologies for the delayed YAHOO! I WON!
I love Scary Mommy Jill so much! I am totally jealous that you got to meet her : ) How fun is that? She is sensational!
I loved meeting you, too! Always a pleasure to meet a fellow blogger. Loved your chapter in See Mom Run. Having potty trained three kids with three different strategies, I can relate!
My post is ready to go on Monda -- will link back!
I so wish I could have been there to meet you in person as well. Did someone record it? I'd love to hear you read your essay!
