So today as I'm walking across the parking lot of Babies R Us, I spot a 4-slotted stroller contraption containing FOUR babies. Immediately I realized that it was them...the famous "Steece Quads". These quads live in the Arlington area and have been somewhat "famous". Sure enough, I saw their Mommy pushing them and recognized her immediately from her blog, which I stalk on a daily basis. Well, now that much of life is broadcasted on people's blogs, you can begin to feel like you know people...EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T!!! I was talking to Meggan on the phone during the "siting". We debated if I should greet her or not. Actually, I debated...Meggan said, "You HAVE TO talk to her!". Well, you know what I did! "Hey Steeces' Pieces", I YELLED across the parking lot! Without any hesitation, she immediately steered her quad-contraption towards me with those 4 sweet angels in tow. She met me with wide open arms and a big hug! Of course, I couldn't recall her real name for a minute, so I just kept calling her "Steeces Pieces" (for those of you who don't frequently stalk other peoples' blogs, this is the name of her blog.) She (Suzanne) was incredibly friendly! I felt like I was meeting a celebrity. I sort of had that awkward feeling like I didn't want to say something stupid (as though screaming "Hey Steeces Pieces" was not stupid), so I didn't say much. I just gawked at her sweet babies and told her my name and that yes, I am one of her blog fans. As I walked away from her, another gaggle of ladies spotted the quads in the quad-contraption. I heard one ask Suz (yeah, we're on a nickname basis now) if she had all 4 of the babies at one time? She must get asked lots of dumb questions like that. This was a hilarious moment for me.

Oh my gosh - you didn't tell me about that part! (The dumb question). Classic. That moment is not one that I will forget anytime soon. Her blog has blessed my life! :)
Love you!
This is great, pretty hilarious. However, this is nowhere near as funny as the laryngectomy man at Gene Allens. PLEASE blog about that story one day. Or I will write it for you :)
LY!
