When bloggers unite....

This morning Paige and I went to meet some new friends (Cara and her daughter Leyla) at a drop in play group. We met through our blogs, and after months of exchanging blog comments decided to get together. You could call it a blind play-date (except I knew who to look out for from the pictures on the blog...and felt like I knew a lot about them, so I suppose it wasn't a blind play-date at all). And there was one time over a year ago when I saw them in a drugstore, knowing very well that I recognized them from the blog, but didn't say anything since that would come across and stalkerish and strange since I didn't even know they lived in Burlington, and I hadn't introduced myself as a reader online. How weird is that?

But anyway, it was fun to meet some new friends since we have been reading about them for a long time! Unfortunately the drop in place was a zoo, and looked like a daycare from Hell with kids running all over the place (it was in a church though so I guess I shouldn't say that). It's really nice that they offer these things for free though, and even have crafts and circle time.

I normally do a lot of cleaning on Friday afternoons, but instead I'm blogging and banking online. The reason for this lack of cleaning can be attributed to the following: We have a door mat in our house that I had never cleaned before. I'm embarrassed to say that I thought it was something that you used until it was too dirty and then threw out. Well, apparently it can be cleaned. After I washed it and then had to clean both the washer and dryer from 3 years worth of mess from the mat, it was spotless. Now our hardwood floor is immaculate since Paige isn't traipsing dirt all over the place. I was about to mop and thought, "what's the point??". Now I will just wait till Paige is up so I can do jobs that might, God forbid, wake her up.

Paige is off to a sleepover tonight so Mike and I can go out with Amanda and James for dinner. I promise at some point over the weekend I'll take some Paige pictures and put them up since I have been seriously slacking lately.
