Put on your covet pants cause I got to meet Ms. Capello yesterday (and enjoy some delicious, I mean really delicious, cupcakes). Aren’t you jealous? She stood on my porch! And peeked into my new Blue Room! (she wasn’t allowed inside the sickhouse® just in case germs were floating about - we have a nasty bug going over here).
And may I just say she is just as funny in real life as on her wonderful blog, and so very, very nice.
I will confess (to you and to her) I was expecting someone different (and was frankly, a little scared, I mean - the woman has one sharp tongue!), but in reality she is a sweetie pie with a heart of gold, not at all messing with bitterness about what is going on in her life right now, and funny as hell. Perfectly appropriate, in my opinion. :) Plus her beautiful son is a towhead like mine - can’t get more delectable than that, my friends.
[And no, she doesn't look like the "tribal barbie" I photoshopped up a few years back for my Valentine cards (who does?). But just like my magenta-haired, Fluevog-wearing, tribal-tatted, nose-studded Photoshop creation, she's just the right amount of girlie, with just the right amount of edge.]
Thanks for the cupcakes, sweetie, and we must get together again, soon.
Somebody with more gumption than I had better plan a KC bloghers get-together, pronto. Seriously, get on that.

Comment by capello September 27, 2006 @ 8:22 pmI’m on it! I’m thinking Novemeber, though. We’ve got to get some projects done before the Halloween party. You’ll be invited to that too, but I want to have a blogger party so we can all sit and visit and eat some treats without interruption. K, guys?
Comment by Alicia A. September 27, 2006 @ 8:54 pmYea! Just not the Nov. 11th and 12th, PLEASE! I’m already overbooked that weekend. :)
And after seeing what’s going on in Portland, anyone up for a KC area trunk show? Not that I have anything to contribute at the moment, but I might some day. I always work best with a deadline!
And as for the pink hair - one of my non-blogging friend is doing a pink haired stitchette at the moment. Punkin’ out the wee wonderfuls! Ya gotta love it!
Comment by laeroport September 27, 2006 @ 9:07 pmI’m so jealous! I haven’t come across any bloggers in my area. Perhaps I need to buy a plane ticket.
Comment by beki September 27, 2006 @ 10:19 pmHey Beki! pick me up on the way o.k? I mean seriously, you can’t all live in KS (or Portland) and have all the bloggy groupy fun. Sheesh. Well, at least take some photos of this gathering. I’ll just be sitting down here, on the WATER!!!! ha ha ha…Boy, I really got you there didn’t I? Whew! Don’t mess with me! heh. I don’t have any real life pals, but I’ve got plenty of pretty water.
*crickets*
