I got to spend Saturday morning with Meg. On the Coolness Scale she's pretty much an eleven.

Richmond Meet Up Success!
Before I begin to tell you about my meet up with Ned, I have to mention that I'm a COMPLETE donut and forgot to take a single picture. I even double checked before I left the house that I had my camera. I promise, next time I'll take some snaps!
Ned (not actually her name, which I'm sure you know) is absolutely lovely and I adore her (how can you not adore someone that tells you the second they meet you, that you are "so pretty"?!). She is funny, gorgeously attractive and a real pleasure to hold a conversation with.
We met at Starbucks and gabbed about our SIL's, then headed to the California Pizza Kitchen for lunch. There are 3 things I always worry about when conversing with someone new and they are SEX, MONEY and POLITICS. We did find ourselves on the 2nd subject a little (how can you not when talking about my SIL) but I think I managed to get by without voicing some of my huge opinions! We also discussed blogland, our husbands and their work and some of our crazy ass social situations! I left Short Pump Town Center utterly refreshed from such a wonderful afternoon.
I truly hope that next time Ned's down in Richmond, she gives me a call to meet up again. If not, I may just have to hunt her down and drag her by her hair (kidding!!).

Jan 9th: Richmond, VA Meet Up!
Cloggsy here! Just thought I'd let you all know that Ned (of Peyton Place) and I will be meeting for coffee at Short Pump Town Center in Richmond on the 9th January. Another preppy meet up - woo woo!
If there are any other Richmond (or Virginia) bloggers that want to join us, let us know in the comments and we'll give you the time and place!
Pictures will most definitely be taken!

My View of Dinner
The radiant birthday girl with her cake...
Libby and Mel in deep conversation...
Me and E...
Me and DMM...
Ready to call it a night...
One last shot of the group...
One of the quirkiest things about this little get together were the many wardrobe similarities we discovered that day. For instance: Mel and I were wearing the same coat, Mel and E were wearing the same shoes, Me and E had the same headband, E and J had the same bracelet... the list goes on. We were chuckling about these "coincidences" all day.
And then, in Brooks Brothers as I'm at the cash register paying for my wares, Mel comes up to me and asks me what I'm buying. "A book and these totally cute cashmere socks," I say. "Which ones?" she asks. I point to the shelf where they are and say "Those ones." "I already have those exact ones!" she says. So I just replied with, "I wanna be just like you."
Do you want to be just like us too? Well then these are the socks for you (mmm... sooooo soft and comfy!)
And there you have it. Mel's observation puts it best: if you looked in all of our closets, you'd probably find the exact same wardrobe.
Aren't preppy friends simply the best?!

Chiming in!
I haven't contributed before now because a) I didn't bring a camera and left the picture-taking to the other girls, and b) I don't really have anything new to add! So I'll just reiterate what has already been said--everyone is just as nice and sweet as you would expect. I am sorry I missed seeing Kimba and Coll this time and am especially bummed I didn't get to meet Mr. Monty Morris. But I figure that just gives us more reason to meet up again soon!
Oh, and I also have to mention that I L-O-V-E my GG World Tour tote! I've been using it this week to bring Christmas goodies in to my new co-workers. It is the perfect size and a lovely reminder of my blog friend from up north!
More Saturday
Off to Smartypants U with Kimba, Coll and Leesie...
We each rubbed John Harvard's toe for good luck...
Then met up with Libby for lunch...
In seriously, one of the cutest restaurants I've ever been in. (Already planning high tea there for next year, girls!)
And more strolling through the streets of Boston...
Where we literally bumped into Mel and Monty on the corner as they were pulling into town...
Then it was off to In the Pink...
Our favorite guy stood guard...
We went in Burberry (no pictures please!), Brooks Brothers (got the cutest cashmere argyle socks) and even bumped into this happy little elf on the street...
And after a loooooong day of walking around, it was time to go back to the hotel, have a sit down, a cocktail and get ready for dinnies.
