OK, I'm going to try not too get sappy with this but I am really excited here! As I was doing my daily blog read I saw that my favorite blogger (whom I don't even know in real life!) has tagged me!
Let me explain the reason why a simple game of blog tag would have me so excited. There is this celebrity type thing happening in blogworld...or at least in "my blogworld." I will randomly come across a strangers blog that catches my attention. If they make me laugh out loud, I tuck it into my favorites and faithfully read- annonymously. Then one day I can no longer contain myself and I just have to leave a comment. By this point it feels like I am communicating with a blog superstar. Someone I don't know but I admire their work- much like a celebrity. Well...imagine my surprise a few days ago when I noticed CarpoolMom now reads me AND linked me from her blog! Get out! I admit I was slightly giddy.
It's one thing when your friends read your blog- they have to. But CarpoolMom is a stranger. How cool that she not only read it once but she thought it was worth a return visit. And then a link. Yes, giddy is the word. I know...this is deeper into blogworld than many of you wanted to go today. Just so I don't frighten Carpool Mom away, I won't even get into how these were the posts I read that had me hooked. I won't go on and on about how I love how she uses the strikeout (how do you do that???) to add her sarcasm. And I surely will NOT admit how the pollyana line made my eyes tear I was laughing so hard. I don't want her to think I'm a stalker. Even though I may qualify. Come to think of it, maybe that is why she claims she moved to "Mayberry" and won't divulge any further information? Hmm...

Mindy, you make me giggle, and a little weepy - thanks so much for being so incredibly kind. I'm glad we've found each other. (And yes, the vinegar BBQ sauce is completely overrated, although it's apparently Eastern NC's claim to fame.)
