You have been Facebook friends for a year before you meet

You go around the table and introduce yourself with your twitter ID

You pause before ordering to all update your Twitter/ Facebook status

You make the waiter take your picture over and over with everyone’s cell phones

You have a hard time tweeting said picture because you have to fit in so many people’s Twitter IDs

You take pictures of your food at dinner

You all spend dinner checking your phones and no one seems to think it is rude

You love every minute of dinner with these “strangers” and look forward to seeing them again.

Thanks so much to Sue Cramer for organizing a little bloggy get together. It was great to hang with (from front L: Heather, Sue, Jennifer, Denise, Colleen, Deborah, Julie, me)

It is party time!!! If you are new to The Diaper Diaries thank you so much for stopping by. I have the BEST loyal readers on the planet and would love for you to join them. This is a really serious and deep blog where we discuss the most serious and deep issues. Oh my word, APRIL FOOLS!! Did you read my tagline “Always Loaded, Sometimes Full of Crap”? Clearly we don’t take ourselves too seriously around here.

I love finding the humor in life. With three little kids at home, I can find a lot of it. But I also love to encourage you to find the humor in your life, even the most mundane parts. An Open Letter To The People of the Gym is one of my personal favorites.

One of my other favorite things to write about are….my favorite things (allow myself to introduce…….myself). So I host the weekly “Things I Love Thursday” carnival……on Thursday. Feel free to stop by every week and link up one of your posts. Or if nothing else, come read what everyone else is liking. I have discovered some awesome things that way.

Ok so occasionally I get serious. In fact one of the things I am most passionate about is seeing people rock their marriages. I have been married ten years to the most wonderful man in the world and we teach marriage prep to the young ins at our church. So I have been posting a weekly post on Mondays to encourage you in your marriage. Love is….. is one of my favorites.

Either way I hope you will poke around a bit. You can always find me over on Facebook and Twitter as well. Happy hopping!!

To add to the party fun, I want to introduce you to some of my blogging friends! There are ten of us who each have a picture of a word in our post. These pictures will make up a quote about friendship. We will each link you up to the lady who has the next word in the sentence—but keep in mind that I might not have the first word in the sentence! Once you have the sentence, e-mail it to sisterchickies@gmail.com with “UBP11″ in the subject line. Each person with the correct sentence will be in a drawing to win a $100 Target gift card! Winner will be announced on all of our blogs April 11 and the winner will be e-mailed. The winner has 48 hours to respond or we’ll pick someone else.

You next clue can be found with Tricia at Once a Month Mom.
