bill ordered some concert tickets on line for jax today, and it started him on an internet purchasing frenzy. he e-mailed me, asking me if i wanted anything. well not ANYTHING. you know what i mean.
so i sent him the link to a site from which i purchased a couple christmas presents last year – some WONDERFUL ghiradelli chocolate and caramel syrups. i sent him the account information on the site for us and a wish list for some syrups to add to our espresso “bar.”
shortly thereafter (lol), my phone rang here at work. bill: “did you get the e-mail?” before i could say “what e-mail?” it popped up in my inbox.
Hello Stacey,
Thank you for your order. It will go out on today's UPS truck. Please pick one more flavor for me to add to your box.
It's time I out myself!
When you ordered the first time I was so curious as to what kind of website would have the name of nothing but love, so I went there and was immediately drawn to you and your family. Then I found Jen. All of you have enriched my life!! (I occasionally post comments to you, Bill, Jen, and Jax under the name of Moonandsun).
So now I feel like I know you and I want to send an extra bottle to say "thanks" for the words of wisdom, laughter, and the Chicken Paprikash recipe. That is the most wonderful dish ever!!
BTW, did you ever get a new espresso machine?
Is this not one of the coolest things EVER??!! what a month for us in the blogosphere. first, kathyhowe and her magical organizing powers “fixed” bill’s business! and we had the best time, too! then philip and lucy! through the lucypaste investigation, i met jen! and now this! “moonandsun” is totally recognizeable as a commenter to us. she has no site, but leaves the very, very nicest, warm comments to all of us. everytime she leaves one, bill and i talk about “her.” i’m so glad to have received this new “gift!”
the other day, jen said “i love the blogosphere!” and i thought, hmmm, “maybe i do, too.” yup, i do.
Dang, none of my readers give me freebies.
Posted by: lucy at September 22, 2004 09:59 PMI've been all shy and reserved with my love of the blogosphere thinking people will think I'm nuts if I admit it out loud.
You mean I can actually admit it?
Out loud?

Posted by: Anji at September 23, 2004 09:28 AMMy honey got all teary when I showed her the emails and the entry on your blog. I love this small world thing and how people can unknowingly touch strangers!
Yes, we are indeed the sappiest family ever!

I think she means a different Jen-- but I could be wrong.
But I am the Jen you met through Lucypaste.
Speaking of which, what has happened to Lucy's blog? Did she dismantle because of obnoxious comments from anonymous?
Posted by: Jen at September 23, 2004 03:47 PMSigh. I had to pull my blog because of my obnoxious, possessive, irrational ex-husband. If you want more info, you can send me an email. Sorry.
