First time for everything

This is going to sound strange, however I have never done this before. For the first time ever, I’m typing on my laptop in my bed, in my bedroom. Dun dun dun! Seriously, I’ve never done this before. Sure this puppy has been on the front step, in the backyard, in the library, at client’s offices, but never before has it been in my bed.

So, why, you ask?

My laptop usually stays in the office most of the time when it stays home. I actually did the ol’ shutdown thing about 15 minutes ago and got ready for bed. As I was getting ready for bed, I realized I have met a lot of very interesting people. It occurred to me that I’d like to thank them for coming into my life. But that’s so hokey and I know if I called them up, or emailed them and said that, they’d laugh at me, and wonder what I’ve been smoking. So, of course, I realize I could easily thank them here, and they’d never know I was seriously hokey! Ahh, it satisfies my urge to say thank you, without making folks feel uncomfortable. Damn, why didn’t I think of it sooner?

Here goes, and in no particular order – to the new folks I’ve met in the last 12 months who have made an impact on me.

Photo King – you’re like the little brother I never had. I can tell you stories, give you advice and, sigh, you treat me like I just gave you the most valuable information ever. No wonder I’m more than happy to give more. I’m also thrilled to bits about your latest news.

Energizer – where have you been all my life? I can’t believe I’ve only known you for maybe 6 months – it feels like decades, and I wish we could find a way to have daily chats. You always lift me.

Step Girl – I’m so excited for you! Thanks for your email – you are so cute, and it never ceases to amaze me how a little friendly email like yours can make my day.

Em + Van – So completely tickled that I met both of you, and can’t wait to see what you are both able to deliver together. Remember that power in the sum of the parts – I know you’ll rock it together.

– Daisy, who wrote most of this the other night and couldn’t possibly hit publish from half-sleepy eyes.
