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!
