Hanging up my shoes

Have you ever thought what life would be like if you didn't blog? Those of you who don't necessarily write, but enjoy reading blogs-what would life be like for you?

No. Really?

I was thinking about this the other night...not that I'm hanging up my blogging shoes anytime soon so don't even go there (tricked ya with the title?!)...but I was just thinking about ALLLLL the things that would be different in my life if little Ms. Kristen wouldn't have frantically emailed me one day back in 2010 asking for my Gmail username and password and an hour later, another email following with my new "blog" URL. Y'all...I didn't even know what in God's name a "blog" was.

You think I'm kidding...

I can honestly say, if I didn't read y'all's blogs, I would be missing
out on a whole heck of a lot of important life things...

Like knowing how to take the most perfect maternity pictures &
have the most incredible red hair on the face of the earth.

Seriously, Julie. Stop it. I hope I look like you when I grow up.

Or how to create the most amazing poofy pony, how pugs & bourbon can literally change your life, and the wonders you can work with a few pieces of fake hair, a clip and a hot glue gun...

THE PinkLouLou

I would be completely clueless without my personal fashion advisor, Katie,  would've never known that a school by the name of "Ohio State University" even existed...or about Mickey D's ice coffee...or pomeranians...or really, anything. I also wouldn't have anyone to send ridiculous videos of myself singing Shaggy's "Angel" while I drive on the freeway in the pouring down rain to someone who replies telling me my tone-deaf voice sounds like "an angel from heaven". God bless this woman for never judging me.

Heart you Katie-bug.

I would be either broke or makeup-less without THE Bargain Blonde 

and her passion for beauty and bargain shopping...

Let's be honest, I would completely run out of healthy recipes and 

would become a giant fat blob without Kelly...

I wouldn't receive sweet, sweet packages in the mail from my adorable Kentucky frands ;)

I wouldn't know A) what a "DSLR" camera is and B) how the heck to use one...
(Let's be honest here-I'll never know how to use my camera like this woman can!)

The one & only...ShayBayBay <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">
I wouldn't know any Lil' Wayne lovers from Bawstin who can do the strangest things with her mouth and fingers (that's not weird, is it?!)\

So pretty much, I'd be lost. I'd have way to much time on my hands, I'd probably become some crazy wife who spends every second of every day cleaning house and doing laundry. I'd probably be in better shape and possibly take up something interesting like sewing or baking.

But then again, having that much time on my hands would just be downright wrong!
So here's to blogging! Hope you've met some new friends today. :)
