My new BFF
Posted by admin in all about me on 11 6th, 2009 | 3 responses
Every so often I poke fun at myself. Where, I wail, where can you find another woman, close enough to my age, with a kid somewhat near one of mine, who also:
- unschools
- is crafty
- is crunchy in the AP sense (meaning, breastfed, gentle parenting etc..)
- is a low-key Christian who doesn’t go to church
- is near enough to get together face to face occasionally
- is ADD or at least semi-disorganized ;P so won’t mind if I am
- works at home like I do
- works as a WORDPRESS consultant like I do.
Pretty specific list, huh?
Found one. 
Seriously, you’d think with all this in common we’d have nothing to talk about, but nope.

Oh you have NO idea how happy I am to have a new BFF
It’s absolutely refreshing! I feel much less out there now that I’ve found someone like me, near enough to me that I can tell people IRL “no, people like me don’t just exist online!” 
So, so happy to meet you – and excited to see what our two ADD brains hatch (evil chuckle)….
That’s exactly how I felt when Michelle moved here and we talked for the first time:
~ obsessed with books
~ reads everything and anything
~ Christian but not overly-evangelicalized (is that a word?)
~ allows her kids to read Harry Potter, LOTR, have Pokemon cards, etc.
~ Has boys near my boys’ age
~ Loves coffee and wine
~ Is Irish in heritage
~ Is an unapologetic anglophile
~ Loves movies
~ Classical-leaning homeschooler
I could go on and on – but isn’t that kind of serendipity just a miracle? I’m so happy for you!
Oh, and told my hubby about you and Ron meeting the WP guru – and speaking at the upcoming conference – he was duly impressed!
