When Stalking is Okay or Meet the Beesons

It's very rare that stalking is socially (or legally) acceptable.  Blog stalking is a notable exception.  And I have been stalking one particular blog since my early blogging days in Rhode Island. (Did you know we used to live in Rhode Island?  Than you haven't been reading long enough!)

It's called None of Your Beeswax and is written by Kelly Beeson.

This is a picture of Kelly and her family:

On a typical day in Arizona
I don't remember exactly how I found Kelly's blog, but I got hooked pretty quick.  She's a very funny writer, loves books, loves Jane Austen, loves travel, loves to eat, and, the clincher; vacations every summer in the same town where I finished high school.  (I forgot to ask her if she also has a not-so-secret crush on John Cusack.  But really--how could she not, right??)
  
This year when they came to town, we got to meet for the first time.  It's a little bit weird meeting someone already knowing a lot of random personal details about their life.  But I've always been a big fan of stalking so I was down with it.

Turns out, they usually go to the same beach we go to, and even attend church at the same church building.  So we actually got to hang out with them quite a few times!  The kids all got along and we had a lot of fun with them.   Wish I got better pictures!




 Can't wait until they visit again!!!

Important Stuff

Guess what?

No, I'm not pregnant.  Guess again!

Wrong again.  Just give up.

No, the answer is...
I HAVE A NEW BLOG!!!  (aren't you sooo excited...?!?!)

It's called Gratuitous Reviews.
And THAT'S where I'll be sticking all my reviews from now on!  
Book Reviews,  (I'm reading four different books at the moment so there should be a few of these coming right up.)
Recipe Reviews, 
Product Reviews, 
Rants about Boys Cargo Pants...
You know...that kinda stuff!

Why?  I dunno.  Just seems more orderly.  Like keeping the peas out of the mashed potatoes. And also, when someone offers to pay me boat loads of money to place an ad on my site, I can stick it on that one so as not to muck up this one.  (Um, did you want to offer me boat loads of money?  Anyone?  Anyone?)

So if you're a Google Reader-er (and you all should be...) go ahead and add www.gratuitousreviews.blogspot.com to your subscriptions.

And if you're a reader who is also a seller and you want some free advertising, let me know and we'll set up a giveaway on the new site!

Get it?
(You say "Got it.")
Good!

See you there!
