Thank you for being a friend
November 24th, 2009
So yesterday I had a phone conversation with Rachael, a PR rep working on the Microsoft Office contest, and it was completely surreal. I mean, here I am, country bumpkin from BFE Texas talking to someone about drumming up press for ol’ All Dressed Up.
When I started this blog lo these many years ago, I had no idea where I’d end up. I was miserable, scared, and lonely on bed rest and just wanted to reach out to someone, anyone. What I found was so much more than I bargained for. I’ve made real and lasting connections with some amazing women. Women who have kids the same age as mine. Women who don’t have kids at all. Women who stay home and women that work in the corporate world. Women that I never would have found had it not been for blogging.
As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I’ve already won a great prize thanks to my blog. Even if I don’t get the chance to blog from the Olympics, I’ll still be here, trying to make you laugh and think. Who knows where we’ll end up in another three years? But I’m so very glad that you’ve decided to come along for the ride.

And I am happy that you are happy to have us along for the ride. Off to vote!
aww! So sweet. (and I hope you win!)
I completely feel the same way about my blog. It’s little and only a handful of people read it but I truly feel that I have friends in women I’ve never even met. It’s amazing.
Hoping you win this opportunity!
I feel this way too. The people in blogland are awesome. I’ve been voting for you every day! (Those Twitter reminders are helpful!) I hope you win!
MWAH!!!!
Totally enjoy the ride and I hope we get to go to the Olympics!
) Now I need to vote!
Kisses! Glad you let us come with you on the ride!
Thanks for sharing your life with us!!!
PR reps? Wow, that’s awesome. It’s all so exciting. I hope that you get the trip.
Blogging is such a great community. Of course sometimes it’s hard to see readers/bloggers come and go, but it happens. But those who we truly connect with are good friends too.
