Meeting of the stalkers minds

On Friday - I met my second blogger. Earlier this month I met Nissa. And now I can add one more to my collection. In a completely non-stalkerish way. Sort of. And that would be Angie from Angie's Spot. We easily fell into conversation. And into peals of laughter.

Ummm...Angie...what DID we talk about? Yes, it was one of those great meeting of the minds - where we laughed, talked, watched you tube videos, shopped, talked, laughed some more - and even though no drugs were consumed. Well, no hard core ones anyway. I can't recall the conversations. Except that they were fun. And I can't wait to do it again.

Before Angie left, I put my husband in charge of snapping a photo. Naturally, there were rules. No hips. And no double chins. Does anyone know how to photoshop out double chins? What about big hips? Not being so savvy...I decided the trick is to stick out your chest. And pretend that you have a giraffe neck. Natural, no?See...Angie..."antics" with Kat may cause memory loss. What do you think? Does black and white make us look thinner?

And I am already planning my third meeting! With Shannon from Welcome to the Nut house. Shannon - do you think that a random stranger will be able to take a picture of us - AND follow the rules?

And so...today...rather than ending my post with a series of questions for you to answer in the comment section - I thought you might let me know if you have any questions for me. Which I'll answer in a future post. But I can't tell you when. Because I don't know. I procrastinate that way.

    Love the song choice! I'm laughing again!

    It was a great meeting of the minds and I too can't remember what we talked about really. I just know that I can't wait to get together again. :-)

    And yes, black (and white) is very slimming. LOL!

    Yes, I have a "no hips" rule when I am having my picture taken, too. And I have yet to perfect the giraffe neck thing. Probably why I take the pics, not pose for them.


    WOO HOO!!! I am soooooo excited about our meeting. But I'm sure you couldn't tell that, huh? How many more days??? ;)

    Sound like so much fun!!!
    The best trick I have found for "double chin", have to picture taker hold the camera up high so you are looking up at the camera.
    Good luck!

    But where was the, "Before meeting up with Angie, I looked at cheesy French commercials on You Tube with Lula and cracked up" shoutout?

    Dude.

    Love the pictures. I have more chins than Chinatown. It's why I rarely take pictures. UGH! But y'all are looking sassy and sexy.

    A question for you...hmmmmmm...

    Are you going to be super-psycho-involved when Lost returns in 134 days? Because I will be...and I need to gather my obsessive peeps around me at that time.

    Oh, I have another--but it's for Michael: What's your favorite imported beer? Domestic?
