In 3-D!
Tonight, I got to meet one of my blogging friends IN PERSON. No more just a photo on a flat computer monitor, but a three-dimensional, real, live, person!
Yup! That’s Amber and me in a self-portrait!
The funny part of it is that we’d talked about how once I moved here we wanted to go to Cold Stone Creamery together for ice cream. How is that funny, you ask? Well, just hooooold on, I’m getting there.
Anyway, we had kind of batted around the idea of whether it should be with our spouses in tow, or just the 2 (or 3 (Jonah) of us). In the end, it worked out really well to just have a girl’s night (+Jonah, the cutie-pie). Andy is out of town, and HB had to work late = Cool.
We morphed it into supper and time to hang out before going out for ice cream. And wouldn’t you know it, but the time got away from us and before we realized it, we were too late to go out for ice cream! Doh! There’s the funny part, I know, I know. If I hadn’t pointed it out you would’ve completely missed the funniness. Aren’t you glad that you’ve got me to point it out?
We substituted yummy coffee drinks from Caribou instead, which was better because it is dang cold outside, ya know?
yahhhh Danielle, you betcha.
Here, to make up for my lack of funny stories and lame Minnesota accent jokes, I give you the cuteness of Jonah.
Jonah, who is known to be particularly fond of a wooden spoon, right now, decided that the Girlie-girl’s plastic cat brush might just be a reasonable substitute.
Of course, all of the camera action brought over the camera hog, I mean, the Girlie-girl.
She was a bit skeeerd of that small animal that didn’t have the right color of fur. Even if he is smaller, she was just not sure that he wasn’t going to perhaps encroach upon her territory.
But Jonah’s good natured attitude was not deterred by the unfriendliness of the Girlie. Nope! He is just a very happy little boy.
Very curious too.
“Hey! What are those things on your face?”
“Do they taste good?”
“um, I’m not so sure that I want them on my face. They are better on yours. But I would like to taste them again, really.”
Amber and I took these pictures tonight with Dee-Dee.
HB says:
HB missed out on ice cream AND caribou, ay?
Squirl says:
Oh, I love the pictures. I also love it that you two had so much to share and talk about that you missed the ice cream deadline.
Danielle says:
WELL, missing the deadline was more my getting it in my head that they were open until 10:00 when they were really only open until 9:00. But we did get to a point where it was 8:30 and did one of these “Wow! Is it 8:30 already?!” Which was cool.
Amber says:
Look at those pictures!
Do you notice the brush in his hand as he is approaching Girlie-Girl?
And Girlie-girl, I didn’t know you wanted to go out for ice cream, too.
Ooh I had fun. Thanks.
And shoot! That’s what we forgot to discuss: Funny Minnesotan Accents.
Momo says:
So happy you guys were able to get together. It looks and sounds like you had alot of fun. I have to say I’m a little jealous.
Danielle says:
Amber, I tell you, you just can’t leave your laptop sitting idle around here. Next thing you know, your CAT is leaving comments!
Momo, anytime you are up near Minny-soh-tahhhh we will get together. But, um, I recommend the Summer months and Not the Winter ones.
Momo says:
Danielle, that sounds great, If I’m ever up there. Thanks for the advice on when to visit.
LadyBug says:
I’m so jillis.
Happy for you, yes.
But, still. Jillis.
Ern says:
Sounds like you had a great time!
Caribou coffee is one of my favorite Midwest spots. Yum!
