Friends In Real Life

@wendysurf and @kimjay_everyday twins in real life.

Oh my goodness Internet!!!! Hubby and I had a double date Friday night with Kim and Charlie, also known as Dancin' Jimmy! And he DANCED!!!! Two times.

I am freaking out, they are so fun and nice. I wish they lived here. Sigh.

"Who in Memphis are Kim and Charlie?" asks a dedicated blog reader.

Oh right, sorry. I met @kimjay_everyday, photographer extraordinaire, on twitter, a few years or so ago. She is one of my twitter friends. Actually now we're facebook friends, and Words With Friends(scrabble), too. Charlie is her Rock Star Hubby.

Communicating with a friend on twitter is very similar to texting due to the way I have my notifications set up, and therefore easy. When I think about it, online friends are just high tech pen pals.

"So you're going to meet kimjay_everyday for the first time in real life?" asks Gio. "Do I get to meet her, too?"

I wasn't sure about that part. My Mom was coming over to babysit and the house was A MESS. You know how people say, "Oh my house is a mess," and then you go in and can't find anything out of place, except for an unfolded couch blanket?

That is not my house. When I say it's a mess. It's a mess. And by mess I mean, laundry-toy-miscellaneous items bomb explosion everywhere because I've been surfing so much.

They actually did get to come and see our messy house and THE BOYS, but only because I temporarily lost my mind and listened to Hubby. He's usually right, but not this time.

"Have them come over," says Hubby. "I'll clean up the house."

15 minutes later, well before any cleaning could take place, Hubby says, "Uh, someone's knocking on the door."

To which I reply, "That's not someone, that's kimjay_everyday!"

Anyways, Kim has been a great friend online. I mean I sort of know how to fold a fitted sheet thanks to her. And she makes me laugh when I feel like crying. So to actually get to meet her in person, was, like, CRAZY COOL!!!!!!!!!

And Charlie is a great guy! Did I mention he danced twice? They both scored big time!

They were both easy to talk to, and did I mention fun? After last month it really was a sweet treat surprise to finally meet them in real life.

I may never visit Kim and Charlie in Memphis, but who knows, maybe I'll meet up with them sometime on Maui?
