I’m not one who normally makes resolutions because somewhere along the way {*ahem* usually very near the beginning} I end up forgetting about said resolution and then feel extremely guilty at the end of the year for not resolving what ever it was that I had intended to do {or not do}.
However, I do have a list {a mile long} of things to work on this year. One being: get out more-make an effort to make new friends. Two: get involved more. Three: be friendlier.
And so, when Kelli from Sweet Love posted a Facebook status inviting bloggers/media to a sneak peek of her soon-to-open bakery, without thinking, I signed up. I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect with some Little Rock bloggers. And, you know, there would most likely be sweets. Luckily, I have not resolved to eat less sweets {not officially, of course}.
It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon…even if I was pretty shy and hung back a bit. Everyone seemed to know each other previously, so I felt a like an outsider, but the ladies were nice! And…when I got home I realized I had been talking to Kerri from Damn You, Little Rock and hadn’t even realized it. She makes me laugh out loud when I read her blog.
The rest of the afternoon was spent shopping for clothes in LR {yes, Thomas, they sell clothes at The Container Store <wink>}.
so good to see you! you can sniff NK anytime!
For real let me know next time you head to town! Would love to have lunch! (Or coffee and sweets at Sweet Love!)
Apologies for the over-abundance of exclamation points there. JAYSUS.
glad to hear your getting out…
That looks like so much fun! and by the way, I received your card. LOVE IT!
Looks like fun. It's wonderful there are some bloggers nearby you.
Gina, I'm so glad you came. And funny – I totally assumed that you were an old friend of Kelli's. I was thinking – "am I the only one here who hasn't been introduced to Gina yet?"
So next time, I've resolved, I will just ask. No feeling outsiderish allowed, right?
Great to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you again!
