I Met Two New Bloggers

Check it out people. I met two new bloggers this weekend! Allison and Pam drove all the way from Knoxville just to scratch my butt!



They both give some pretty good scratchings!



After I got bored of them scratching my butt, they left and took Woman with them. Apparently some of the bloggers met up in Raleigh, and I of course was not invited. It's the story of my life. Never invited.

They stayed at the Residence Inn Marriott in Raleigh, NC.



On Friday, everyone met at Girlville's house for chili and cupcakes. From what I hear, Girlville is quite the homemaker. She looks very Martha Stewart-ish here, wouldn't you say?



Everyone had fun except me. I was at home alone. Look how sad everyone looks in this photo because I'm not there.



On Saturday morning, the bloggers went to Trader Joe's and then to Logan's one stop garden shop for lunch.



Woman saw lots of pretty things she wanted to buy, but somehow managed to control her impulses.



The store is located in an old train station and offers sandwiches from a cute little lunchery. As you can see, Woman did end up buying a pot.



Later, the bloggers went to downtown Raleigh where they toured the capitol building. They had to be really quiet, because the governor works in the building! You can imagine Punchy had trouble with that - LOL!



They saw window cleaners high atop a building, and Punchy decided it was her new calling in life to become a skyscraper window cleaner. She loves heights don't you know ... That's why she lives so far up North, because it's high up there.



Punchy educated everyone about trees. Well, I guess that's what she's doing.



The bloggers had dinner at a nice restaurant downtown that night.



Girlville's husband joined the group.



Woman had a pear salad ...



And split a pizza with AM.



AM had a beer.



Punchy was not impressed.



The rest of the night was spent laughing and talking and watching the Princess Diaries, which Woman said really sucks. That night Ian and I went to Nate's house, and I pooped on his floor twice. That's right - twice.

The group was sad on Sunday morning when it was time to leave, but everyone was tired and ready to get home.



Swampgirl dropped her mom off in Curnersville and headed home to Alabama.



AM and Jackson headed back to South Carolina.



Pam and Allison headed back west to Tennessee and were kind enough to drop Woman off in Asheville along the way.



Punchy and C were lucky bums and got to stay one more night with Girlville.



Woman brought some gifts back with her too. There were none for me, but I'll blog about them anyway.

Punchy gave Woman these lovely decorative ceramic balls for the candelabra. They match perfectly. I was sad that Punchy didn't come to my house this year.



Swampgirl made this cute Pug Christmas ornament.



Girlville gave out these nice soaps (I guess the blogger Women smell bad), and although Ragus Pug could not make it to the meet up this year, she sent these cute little tins filled with candy corn for the ladies.



Another fun meet up that I missed! At least I did get to meet some bloggers and poop on Nate's floor. It was a good weekend.
