Amitiés Internet

I have been part of a message board community for the better part of six years now, participating in more than a dozen parenting boards. Over the years I have made several friendships with women all over the world. This past weekend I had the opportunity to meet one such friend, who happens to live just 90 minutes away by car. She and I have been "chatting" online for almost two years, and have become quite close, so this was quite an exciting weekend for me!

I packed up Little M, my doggy, and my Bud Light, and off we went. Our kids got along great despite the range in ages, and of course the doggy was quite popular with everyone except DM's rowdy kitty, who made it quite clear that Pom Pom would not be taking over his kingdom!

DM and I spent the night getting to know each other without computers between us; we talked about our kids, watched Montana play a bit of Wii for the first time--she's a natural!--and of course, discussed the infamous message board to which we owe our friendship in the first place.

The next day Little M and I hung out with the family, and even went bowling. We didn't head home until suppertime, and I was sad to say goodbye. I know DM and I will get together again soon, though, and I cannot wait!
