(that is so totally not a word, but I like it anyway!) <br /><br />Natasha - Thanks! It's great to see you stopping by! <br /><br />Eva - Thank you!! It's funny how this post evolved. Mike and I got on this long conversation after I got the books from Debi and Chris. Then boom. Next set of packages. All from the most extraordinary group of people I know. The bloggers I have met are like that. Yeah, I'd like to think I'd be able to discern a stalker!! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-46230406373314933412009-12-17T03:09:28.691-06:002009-12-17T03:09:28.691-06:00Ladybug - You are right.

I'm totally looking forward to spa day! <br /> <br />Michelle - Glad you were sobbing too!! At least I wasn't alone. I can not begin to thank you for your kindness. You are truly a great friend. I am honored to call you that. Love you!! <br /><br />Nymeth - And Ditto what I said BACK to Debi! Wow, that was the easiest response I had all night! Seriously though, my deepest and most sincere thanks to all of you. <br /><br />Melody - Thank you. I was amazed that Mike couldn't understand the closeness. I really need to set up a music blog for him. THEN he will see what it's like. <br /><br />Tif - The people I have met here TOTALLY get more than my friends IRL. Sometimes, it makes me wonder what made us friends in the first place, other than being in a common place. Then again, most are really super people.

Love you too! <br /><br />Chris - Oh, you make it sound like you had no part in it. And you did. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!! I'm SO looking forward to a day off, just to use my card!<br /><br />Diane - Agreed. Would rather not give in to the serial killer theory!! My hubby, though. Just watches too much TV!<br /><br />Amanda - That's cause we have a lot of the same friends.

My best friend here in the Springs doesn't really get it, so I don't talk about it to him, but my mom gets it which is nice. :) But then, since I'm a military brat, we're used to having long-distance friendships.<br /><br />I think it's often times it's easier to talk about more genuine stuff via e-mail anyway. And I love how I've made friends from such different walks of life, who without the internet I'd never get to know at all.<br /><br />lol @ stalkers...when I first began blogging, that idea made me nervous, and I didn't post pictures or mention where I was geographically other than 'the Midwest' (I was still in college). But nowadays, I'm much more open, and I've never had a problem! I think even over the internet, stalkers would just set off the 'creepometer' bell, you know?Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-35867320231202124942009-12-16T23:30:46.451-06:002009-12-16T23:30:46.451-06:00How wonderful!!

This past year, I have discovered people that simply get me more so than those IRL. It is such a wonderful feeling to feel accepted and understood, even though it may not be face to face.

You are SO welcome, and I agree with Debi, absolutely no repaying of any kind! It was for you, to know what we love you and support you in spirit, even if we can't do it in person. After everything you have gone through this year, the least we can do is provide you the opportunity to take care of yourself, knowing that you have been taking care of everyone else (and shouldering a pretty heavy load) for the year. Enjoy yourself thoroughly.

I think there are many of us that misses time for friends IRL. I feel that after I have joined the ranks of the grownups with a family, a job, house and studies we seldom have time for sitting down with friends anymore.<br /><br />Sure there can be some weird people out there, but I <br />like to think that the majority are normal people just like you and me. You're very lucky to have found such great friends online, Stephanie :) Enjoy your SPA day, it sounds great =DMari - Escape In A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597584812785465678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-29485561073520947342009-12-16T08:01:33.491-06:002009-12-16T08:01:33.491-06:00I feel the same way about my book blogging friends...I feel the same way about my book blogging friends. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-67048459015102233502009-12-16T07:50:22.266-06:002009-12-16T07:50:22.266-06:00I feel the same way as you about the wonderful fri...I feel the same way as you about the wonderful friends I've made online.
