I Feel So Loved!

Celia sent me an e-mail that said, "Thought of you this weekend..."





and had this adorable picture of a gentleman she stopped in the airport. The fact that she thought of me when she saw Virginia Tech emblazoned on the front of his sweatshirt made me so happy and really touched me. Thank you, so much Celia♥.





Celia's sister, Paige had a contest on her blog to see who could answer the most questions about their sister Ellie correctly. I didn't deserve to win because I don't think that I actually got the most correct...but they appreciated my effort. I was loopy with joy over winning! Thank you, Paige for letting me win and, Ellie for saying I should!!!!! I am drunk with happiness!






Here are all of the fabulous "Greenbaum" sisters. (L to R) Celia, Ellie, Paige, Lenore, Camille and Val. Now, we all know that Lenore is really the one that won the "answering all of the questions about Ellie" contest...but they named me the winner, anyway. *sniff* *sniff* Thank you, Ladies. (Now, I don't know Camille or Val very well but, if they had blogs I would be lurking all over their blogs, too...they are great commenters, though!)

Isn't it great to feel so loved by people inside your computer?

Lorena said...

Congratulations on winning...we wish you could have been there!

I grafted myself into the Greenbaum family. I don't know if they know it yet.

Blogging friends are great. So many great people I would have never met without blogs, you included.

If I hadn't been bed-ridden this weekend, I was going to suggest we have some kind of "cyber-party" for those who couldn't go to blogapalooza :)

Abs said...

You, my friend, are the best blog lurker/commenter I know of. If I had an award on my blog, I'd give it to you!

Nortorious said...

a) Apparently I lost because I was wrong about the sponge question.
b) I will never be posing for a family picture ever again because I am the star of that picture.
c) Why didn't you go to bloggapalooza?

Wendi said...

How fabulous to have such thoughtful friends. Congratulations... what did you win?

Ilene said...

You were missed.

The best thing about Celia and Paige is that they are so NICE and genuinely interested in you and what you have to say (even if you are a dork like me and am too shy to say anything interesting). You wonder if such blogging celebrities let the adoration go to their heads... but no, these girls are keeping it real.

I bet the same goes for the other sisters as well.

The guy was so happy I knew what a Hokie was I thought he might die. I really didn't know until I "met" you.

Jessica said...

They are the best at making you think you are their favorite person ever!

(World: they loved me first...but I'll let Lauren share.)

Tristan said...

Congrats on the win! That is really sweet of Celia to think of you and take that picture!

I saw Grandpa Jim yawning in real life tonight, I felt like one of the family.

Congratulations on the win. I am 5 for 5 on losses in the Paige contests, I will play til I win.

Amber said...

Hurray for winning! And the party looked like a blast. I'm still on the fringes of the group but maybe next year I'll make myself known. :-)

♥Shally said...

I want to know how you get the little heart on your post!

So cute.

Wish I could have met you at BP...

Next year?

Hazen5 said...

You were missed at the "Looza"!!!

And I am in awe of your knowledge for the Greenbaum trivia!

Cyndi said...

Just wanted to let you know..
Andy loves the card you gave him sunday. On Monday he showed it to me and said... "my teacher loves me, I don't want to have a new teacher." I told him he was right about you loving him, and I assured him his new teacher would love him too.
Thanks for being such a great Sunbeam teacher, you made it easy for him to love sunbeams!!

jessica said...

I think you are a blog celebrity and you don't know it!

Hey your twin showed up in my salsa class on Wednesday. I seriously feel like you are in class with me. You should find a class on Wednesday mornings at 9:10and it'll be like we working out together :) Quit saying naughty things about your body. Everyone has their insecurities, the ladies in my classes come in all shapes and sizes. I love them all! So go find yourself a piyo or salsa class and see if you can find someone that looks like me... you'll have to make sure they pucker up so that they look like my picture :)

Aleasha said...

Aleasha said...

and i totally agree with abs. you are truly the best lurker/commenter known to blogging. CONGRATS TO YOU! you are the winner!!!!

ashli said...

you really must have a girl! they are such fun! i must say that having my three 1/2 year old girl is something of a struggle but she is so full of sweet girly love!

if you must have all of the same sex than I think boys are the way to go! and your boys are too cute! i'm certain they keep you on your toes but they love their mommies, don't they?

Thanks for your very nice Mother's Day note. It was okay. Whatever. Not a fan of Mother's Day. So, thanks for the nice thoughts. Love you too.

Bridget said...

Congrats! You deserve to win. You're nice and nice people need a break now and then. :) Celebrate like a rock star!

janelle said...

Congrats on WINNING! That's so sporty of you to participate. I'm glad you were given your due!

I'm impressed that Celia had the guts to stop a stranger and ask if she could take his picture! I'm such a chicken, I don't even like calling to order pizza...
