Yep, Mama Kat time. I chose prompt number 5.) What made your childhood bearable? Write about it.
Um, I had a wonderful childhood so I guess my parents made it bearable. Without them it would have sucked. My brothers also played a big part in it. They were always really cool to me.
OK, I'm done.
Now I gotta tell you about being a dumbass yesterday. I couldn't wait until tomorrow to tell yall.
I had my first real life contact with a blogger. Yep, sure did. Not just e-mail and texting but real talking! She is someone that if I never posted again, I know we would still be friends. Hope to do face to face one day but there is still snow at her house so we gotta wait until summer. I don't do cold.
Anyway, I have imagined what it would be like to talk to someone from this here bloggyland and what my first words might be. What I said first was NOT what I had imagined me saying. Call it being excited, call it being nervous, but I call it being a dumbass!
I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
HA! Just kidding!
I saw her name on my phone and took a deep breath. Show time!
Me: Hello
Carrin: Is this April?
Me: Yep
Carrin: It's good to talk to you finally (I'm guessing she said this because I only heard one thing, her accent)
Me: GOD you sound like a Yankee!
Me: (In my head) SHIT!
Then the laughter started from both of us as I'm saying sorry.
I'm still laughing from me saying that. It's just that, I live in Texas. I have a thick Texan accent. I NEVER talk to anyone that lives farther north than the Red River. And her accent (yes Carrin, you do have one) sounded just like an old friend of mine from up north that we use to rag on.
After that we had a good talk. And by that I mean, I jabbered on and on while she listened.
Now she knows why I have a blog.
Loved our conversation girl and I'm sure the next one will be better. Maybe I can keep my foot out of my mouth!
Now for more important matters. Over at Yaya Stuff she is doing a giveaway. I think it is for the best cause. She is raising money to help her and Josh adopt a child that they deserve so much. So, head on over and enter.

Visiting from Mama Kat's...
This cracked me up --- let me rush through the writing assignment to get to what I really want to talk about! How cool to talk to another blogger in "real" life. I would be scared I would come off like a loser -- I'm a better writer than talker -- but it sounds like you guys had fun.
That's funny. I tease my husband that his east coast accent comes out every now and then and I just don't think of myself as having an accent. But I guess to other people I do.
So what'd you guys talk about? After you made fun of her....
People still say Yankee? Still very cute.
LOL! You told her she sounded like a yankee? Now that is funny.
Thanks April!
That is hilarious... Me, being a Texan also, know exactly what you're talking about. I have lots of family that still live "up there" and I try not to bust a gut laughing when we have conversations.
This is the Yankee! I'm still laughing about that!
I though our conversation was great! It's nice to get to know you outside the blog world!
I want to come to your little town, drive 25 miles to get beer and then drink & talk & drink & talk!
Talk, text, email and blog to you soon!
April, you are too cute! I think that's so stinkin' cool that you actually got to TALK to a bloggy friend on the phone, too. Fun stuff. :)
That is too cool.... I like Carrin alot too!!
It's funny, because we get to know everybody just by the blog, but then it is so different when we actually hear their voices!! :)
How cool!! The blog world is pretty neat, huh?
It wouldn't have been the accent but the use of the word yankee which would have given your southern roots away to me! LOL

Ok, so i think the first thing I said to my would-be husband when I talked to him on the phone and heard his voice on the line was "you don't have an accent!" (He was from Idaho and I totally expected some rural twang. or something. and got nothing.) So I can relate to what You said about your friend's accent. And I think it's funny.
that is SO cool! i have yet to meet up with another blogger in any real way...
That is too funny. It's good to know I'm not the only dumb ass!
That cracked me up. Sometimes nerves affect our brains!
I'm pretty sure you have an accent too! As do I...and whenever I hear myself I'm like "that's cannot be me"! ~sigh~
LMAO!!! I'm the same way. Say it as I see it. :) Love that you are able to laugh at yourself too. {HUGS}
