Here, I am sitting between Jon and Heather Armstrong, blogging maestros. They're as nice and real and honest as they are on their blogs. They're as easy going and talented-seeming as their writing and photography so strongly demonstrate. Heather was on the Today Show this morning, and Kathy Lee Gifford hardly let her have a word edgewise.

They were signing books in Brooklyn, so I took the 2 train to the Grand Army Station and headed north on Vanderbilt Avenue to a cute bar/lounge called Soda Bar. SO many moms and strollers and fellow bloggers. Except for the bloggers part, it kind of felt like the lobby before church starts.

Well, I was nervous, and I freaked out and my social anxiety kicked in. All the assumptions one makes when you read a person's blog who doesn't know you messed with my head and I started talking to Heather as if she knew all about ME. I did manage to say I was from Jacksonville and that a KKK chapter was about 45 minutes from where I used to live. Then Heather said, "I should blog about that." She signed my book, "For May - So much love, Heather Armstrong."

Three authors of other essays in the book also gave me their autographs. It was such a fun experience, I just wish I'd been a little more graceful under pressure around these blogging celebrities. They're total rockstars and I felt like the goofy groupie. I had the stranger standing in line behind me take a picture of the three of us. My life can go on now that I know Heather Armstrong loves me. 

I won't stalk them. It was more than enough getting to meet them and hang out for a while. Thanks so much, Heather and Jon.
