I’m still sleep deprived and I think I may have a Perrier hangover from our Saturday night Toronto Bloggers get together. There were so many fantastic people that showed up, great conversation and lots of laughs. Though, I was totally nervous ALL NIGHT - as I suspected I may be: I would have done so much better had I been able to have a couple beers to calm myself. C’est la vie I suppose.
I was so behind just getting downtown (thanks to actually listening to Mike tell me that it will be quick on a Saturday evening) and traffic was a nightmare! I swear every eldery person in the entire city was out on the road, driving exactly the speed limit or just under: staggered throughout all three lanes, I was that jackass weaving and dodging through traffic trying to get through the mess of blue haired old people just barely peering over the steering wheels.
Even though I am a safe driver, I am completely impatient. I can’t stand the people that sit in the fast lane and piddle along like they’re out for a country drive. I hate when people don’t use their turning signals and make blind and unsafe lane changes. And! Those people that assume because they put on their signal, they have the right to just move over even if there is a car BESIDE them!
If it were legal and I wouldn’t get hurt this would soooo be me: (Just a note: Not Safe for Work, Children or those whom cannot handle a lot of profanity.)
I finally swerved my way through the sea of blue grannies and grampies only to arrive at the WRONG building. I forgot that there were TWO Manulife buildings in downtown Toronto and of course, I went to the OTHER one. Though, once I pulled up to the ‘T’ in the road, where I was facing head on with the OTHER building I then realized “Hey that building does not have 51 floors, and I’m on the East side, not the West side. Shit!” I then called Ali (who I am now COMPLETELY head over heels for! LOVE that girl!) who was patiently waiting for me at the OTHER building - the PROPER building, to tell her I was a little behind.
I think she thought I was a complete moron!
I was all prepared with two cameras, in case the batteries died in one - you know I took two photos all night? TWO. And they didn’t even turn out that great. I am such a disappointment.
As for the other ladies I was dying to meet? They’re all perfect and wonderfully friendly.
I really can’t wait for our Blog Friend’s Fest in Niagara Falls this summer, though I will have a brand spankin’ new baby in tow (whom I will let you sniff), I promise to be more my normal outgoing and horribly childish self. (And you don’t have to be Canadian to come, so PLEASE - if you’re not scheduled to be in San Fransisco that weekend, COME TO NIAGARA!!)
Saturday night was fun, and I was so glad to meet you and hug you. Hopefully we can have another meet-up later this spring!

Dude.
You’re not completely head over heels with me after I fondled your belly all night?
What must I do to earn your devotion?
Fly across the freaking country and molest you???
Oh wait, I did that.
Maybe that’s why you no love me….
Smooches darlin. You are truly breath takingly beautiful.
(Or as my husband would say…I’d do ya.)
Wink, wink.

Good thing I didn’t know about the other Manulife building b/c I would have done THE EXACT SAME THING.
Anyhow, great meeting you Saturday night and OH MY HOLY HECK - I was just looking at your sidebar and there are only 36 days left!? woah.
