The Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Blog Lunches

Number 10: I get to eat out at a restaurant. No brainer!
Number 9: Asking The Boob Nazi if she will please, please just give a little bit of her cleavage to me (she declined, bummer).
Number 8: Laughing my head off when this girl said, "Oh no. My food is touching." (P.S. I love her even more now.)
Number 7: Laughing and making fun of HOAs. And chickens.
Crazyland

Number 6: Talking with her about food, and coming up with an idea for a great blog post in the near future. (And hoping she doesn't think I'm a weird stalker.)
Number 5: Crying with happiness to hear about how this girl is adopting, and how this girl helped in that process.
Number 4: Getting to know her and her better. (They were crazy lucky enough to sit right next to me.)
Number 3: Wishing I could have had more time to get to know her, her, her and her better.
Number 2: Getting a ride with her up north to where my husband was staying, and having a great conversation.
And the number 1 reason I love blog lunches:
Meeting a great bunch of women and finding out that they are even more awesome in person than they are on their blogs. Thanks to all who came!

Is it just me, or does it look like Motherboard is flipping us off?

I am so glad you let us crash it late! It was so fun to see you again. I love every single one of those women.

Oh what a great group of ladies! It looks like you had a blast. My Saturday was just too packed already or I would have come. This definitely looks like a much tamer group of ladies than the last time we partied in SLC together. Our gathering in Cedar was extremely quiet and sweet. It's always such fun to meet up with blogging friends!

Theresa said...

It looks like you all had a great time. Wish it would have been closer and I would have been in that picture:)

Unknown said...

Hahaha, that sounds like me.

Thanks for the super fun lunch! I'm so glad I got to come and play with all of you. You are just so fun and kind, I wish we could have talked longer but I'm glad we at least got to for abit. I hope you come around again to visit!!

Looks like a lot of fun! I assume you learned Motherboard's name--don't worry you don't have to tell me.

Just SO said...

*sigh* I'm happy that the lunch went so well. But sad that I wasn't able to be there. Blog lunches rock!

Wonder Woman said...

Next time I will DEFINITELY sit closer to you. I didn't think we were that far away......but I wish we could have talked a little more.

PLEASE let us know when you plan a trip up again! Maybe we can meet in Provo/Orem and you won't have to drive quite as far.

Thanks again for getting this together. It was a blast!

Cajoh said...

Sounds like you had a great time meeting other great bloggers like yourself.

Looks like a BLAST! Sorry I missed it. My family and I went to the Temple open house that day. Hope I can make the next one!

Cynthia said...

I REALLY wanted to get there. I thought I'd be able to but, sadly, I ended up with a herd of other people's kids. Sigh.

Becca said...

I wish I could have come. It looks like so much fun...stupid life...it just always seems to get in the way!

Karen Mello Burton said...

Looks like you had a blast! It is so surreal to meet people you have already gotten to know, if that makes sense.

Yeah--my food was touching but I worked it out--hehehehe!!

I LOVED meeting you!! Thanks for having a blog lunch and letting me come!!

I'm bummed I wasn't able to come. So many fun blogs/people and so little time!

Jen said...

It was so great that you took the time to put a lunch together because you had a very packed day! You are just as warm and friendly and funny in person! Glad I got to sit next to you and got to know better other fun women out there--some I'd never met before. It was a very down-to-earth crowd! I love that.Thanks Erin!

Jessica said...

I'm so glad I came! It was great to meet those I stalk in real life.

Eva said...

You can have some of my cleavage ANY time. This pregnancy bumped me up yet another cup size. Grr. Bye-bye button up shirts!

Bloggy lunches rock the casbah - so glad you had a good time!

Desta said...

Awesome. I wish I could have been there. Maybe next time. I'm ready for a vacation from vacation. Good thing we're headed home tomorrow.

rychelle said...

I wish I lived closer to come but plane tickets are just too dang expensive:) Looks like a great crowd and that you are having lots of fun!

The Kooky Queen--Rachel said...

Oh that is so awesome! Wish I could've come!!!

I am always so, so sad whenever I see the pictures from the blog lunches. When are you all going to take this show on the road? I'll even make the Stinkin' Rose reservations!

:)

Fiauna said...

Looks like I missed out--again. Someday I'll make it to a blog lunch.

Unknown said...

Hey Erin, you look tall, thin , and beautiful in that picture!
So sad I didn't get to see the tall beautiful you in real life!

Jessie said...

So where did you guys end up going?
Man, I seriously considered going, but I couldn't quite justify taking my tiny baby all the way to SLC, if I wasn't even taking him to church yet. Sigh. Maybe next time...because I'd love to see you in person and actually talk again!

Sher said...

It was so great to see you again! Thanks for putting it together!
I still feel like we didn't get to chat very much. I was planning on sitting by you, but you were just too popular.
