Lets Love Fest

Blueyed228

Ill start:

Sesh- I feel like we have gotten closer these past 6 months or so and Im glad for it.  I think you are so talented and you are a good friend.

Erin- You crack my shiit up.  Im glad you are here.  Same with Rachers. 

Boobs- you were not around much a few weeks ago, and Im glad you are back.  I love your long winded derailing asss.

Katej- I like having you here. 

Sarahplz- Even though you dont have a lot of free time, you always make time to check in on important shiit (especially with me).  I feel like you are a big cheerleader for me and I dig you for that.

Dogers/Shay/Hike- I know we dont interact much, but I feel like you guys keep this place pretty level headed when we need it.

Girlie/Wisc- Im glad you guys started posting here as regs.

Nebb and Steph- there are days I dont know what I would do without you guys.  For real.

Blueyed228

I have more:

Les/Anna/KD- You guys are like the "moms" of the board.  Not because of age or anything, but because you are always there with something nice to say.  I think we need that from time to time so we dont end up scalping each other.

DJ-  You have really come into your own, and I enjoy having you here.  Im glad you found your voice.

brandichamberlain

I can't really say anything specific to anyone in general, but I will say that the people that have kept me coming back are AATB, Blue, Rachers, Sesh, and Duds.  I'm glad I finally got a pair and started interacting.

cheeseandrice

I love hike, like a lot. I think she's one of the most even-tempered and... good... people we have on the board.

Dmill is still one of my favorites. And I'm super excited she's knocked up now too.  I know some of you hate the baby talk here, but I appreciate it. I can only take so much Bump-like conversations, and it's nice to just have realistic chats about it too.

Sept, I'm sad you're leaving. I feel like I've finally gotten to 'know' you, and I love having you around here too.

Sarah, I'm glad you're posting here again.  I missed your intelligence.

I'll be back with more

Blueyed228

Dammit- I forgot DMils.  She is funny as shiit.

Also- when she posted her hair pics I got to really see her and she is gorg

cheeseandrice

oh yeah! Celtic. I love when you post lately. I'm glad you've been around here more often lately!

chelseamb11

Nates (if you're reading from somewhere), you are such a wonderful person, and so unbelievably easy to talk to.

DMill, I totally see what you mean by me being your little sis of TK, b/c honesly you feel like my big sis

Rach, I'm glad you've started posting over here more.  You are so sweet.

Any, your wedding pics are possibly my new favs on TK.

Sesh, you are SUCH a talented writer.

Shay, even though we don't interact a HUGE amount, any time we do, you're always really nice and have great thinsg to say.

Steph, I think you are going to be a wonderful mother.

AATB, you pretty much just rock.

LDY, if you're around, you rock too.

ErinG93

DJ - I wasn't sure about you at first and thought we might disagree on mostly everything. You are fucking awesome and I'm so glad you post. I like your perspective.

Blue - You are hilarious. You have a fucking awesome dog. I don't mean this in a creepy way, but I'm really rooting for you to have success with you IVF.

AATB - I think we're really similar and grew up in similar towns/ lifestyles. I like that. You're also hilarious.

Sesh - You're awesome and unique. I love how passionate you are about writing. It's refreshing. 

Koda- You're make me laugh.

DodgersBride

Blue- I know we don't interact much but I want you to know that I am truely happy that today went well for you. I hope that everything works out great and you here good news on Saturday. I also really admire your work ethic.

DJ- I think you handle the who PS drama really well and better than most. I also like that you are able to be confident in your faith and still understand other people's views.

Dot- I really like that you are interacting more and letting us get to know you better. I totally get wanting to keep things private but I think it great that you are getting comfortable to share some more.

ErinG93

I'll add:

Celtic - You seem like such a friendly person and you 'listen' well. I like to see you post.

Dmill - You're friendly and I'm excited for your kid because you'll be an awesome mom. 

SarahPLiz

Blue- You are my girl, and you know that. I'll break out the pom poms anytime you need them, or just for fun. No short skirts though. Gross. 

Steph- I've said it before, but I feel like we could be sisters, like you were the one missing between my younger sister and I. We don't always agree, but we get along and usually have each other's backs.

Hike- I'm glad you are here. I'm really enjoying getting to know you and I'm so excited about your new addition. 

DMill- you kill my funny bone. I PPH you.

Anna- ANother sister from another mister. But she knows that ;")

Nebb- I enjoy you, even though I don't know jack about gardening and would rather not discuss poop. I actually think we are very similar in a lot of ways.

Shay and Duds- For some reason I always mix the 2 of you up. I know you aren't the same person, but you are both gorgeous brunettes with amazing sig pics and I just forget sometimes which one I'm talking to. I dig you both though. 

Les- i you big time

JCB- we should totally do a food swap. I want BBQ sauce. I'll send you some salsa.

KW- Big . I feel like I've known you all my life. 

AATB- I love that you say what you want and don't care (at least on the surface). You light up many of my days.

Ranchers- I'm glad you come around. You are just a regular ol person and I love that about you. 

Any- my little sister! You know I love you. I am so sorry I missed your gorgeous wedding. I'm kicking myself now. 

LetsHikeToday

I was totally in the mood to love fest it up! 

Blue- I admire you. You and I probably have different opinions on almost everything because I'm kinda a dirty hippie but you have taught me so much. The way you explain how you feel about issues doesn't change my mind but it does help me see it in a way I never thought of before. I think I'm a smarter person because of your posts.

Steph- I love you, big time. I always see people post about how they were intimidated by you. I've never seen that. You've always been so opening and welcoming me to me and I appreciate that so much.

Smash- As always, you are one of the strongest people I've ever "met". 

Nebb- Like I said in the Q&A, I thought you didn't like me. Maybe it was because we never crossed paths so much on threads. But I feel like we have the past few weeks and I like it. I think you're funny and a bad ass. 

Edie- I really love you. I always love fest that I think you are so caring and it's no different today. You have a huge heart.

Dmills- You make me laugh... a lot. Even though I don't agree with you a lot of times, I always find myself laughing. 

AATB- You definitely have made me laugh out loud numerous times. I like that you know who you are and you don't make excuses or apologize for it. 

Dot- I think you're kind and caring. I think you are sympathetic and you take the time to show people you care about them.

Sarah- I'm glad you're back around more. I think you took time off during lent and I missed you!

LetsHikeToday

Oh and Sesh- I can't wait to meet up with you for lunch!!

MandK9

I haven't been around much lately. Grad school, soul-killer.  But I love love-festing people, because I like letting people know they're appreciated. So I'll play.  Even though there are lots of people around lately that I've never really interacted with.

Steph, Blue, and Nebb, you all strike me as very similar people, so I'm happy that you all found each other.  You're sure of yourselves, honest, and seemingly very strong women, and that "triple threat" is something I respect more than almost anything in a person. 

DJ seems so sure of her beliefs and convictions, but simultaneously completely open-minded to what others believe, as long as they express it well. I LOVE that. I can also tell that she'd be a wonderful friend.

I also really love Nates and Edie for the same general reason, let's see if I can verbalize it: they seem to actually care about people and not just skim over posts that are personal from people they don't know very well. Like... when I read a long personal problem post from someone I don't really know, I feel like an ass because I sometimes will just skim it for bullet points.  They read and respond, and I think that's so thoughtful.

K, now back to my shadowy lurkspace.

SarahPLiz

m&K- Don't go away. I miss you too!

MRSBJS

Can I love fest even if I never come here anymore?

Blue, I've been rooting for your IVF too - I don't know what all the little abbreviations mean but I can figure out enough of them to know that you're trying hard, and I hope it all comes together for you. I wish you the best of luck.

Chels, you've been such a sweetie - mostly off-TK but I appreciate you checking in when I have a bad day and you'll be the first to know when I find that private island I want to live on.

I don't have much else - except to the pregnant ladies - congratulations! I'm really happy for all of you

I guess I haven't been here myself for a while so I didn't know you were gone. Please come back. We need your humor, and your ability to laugh at yourself. 

chelseamb11

BJ!! Yay for island! I was going to lvoefest you but I didn't think you would see it. But I you a lot!

LesPaul

Thanks, Blue.  I feel kind of big-sistery around here.  You ladies are awesome.

kd, Anna and jcb - we must meet sometime.  DMillls - you crack me up.  Sarah - you, Duds, Koda - I always look forward to reading your posts.  BK - I need to make a better effort to stay in touch.  Sesh - I'm so happy for your writing and teaching successes.  Edie & Chels - you're always friendly and caring.

There are more . . .

celticmyss

Dot - you have been such a gigantic help with the makeup stuff. I am very thankful for all the time you have taken to teach me stuff. My wallet is less pleased with you. I also just enjoy your posts in general.

Sarah - I'm glad you're here more. I missed your posts, and not just for the adorable sig pic.

Blue - I have my fingers crossed for you and wish you all the best.

Smash - I really enjoy your posts and I have a ton of respect for you. In your shoes I would have gone on a rampage by now.

Nebb - I feel like I might be too much your creepy fangirl at times but you constantly entertain me with your posts and pins.

Bkseller13

I haven't been around much lately, but here goes:

Les, jcb, KD- Y'all rock.  I can relate to you girls like nobody's business.  Love that!
Anna- Thank you for your level headedness and I love the random love you dole out!
SarahP- Glad you're back, I've missed your face.
Chels- Love your keep-it-rolling attitude. 
Blue- Hugs and good wishes to you on the TTC front. 
Steph - Good luck wiht the baby baking, I hope you don't lose your edge and get all soft and squidgy when the baby comes.
Dot - Welcome back.  Glad you're here.
EDIT TO ADD:
Mehg - You make me laugh and dayum you're hot!
AATB- Missed you when you were MIA for a while, thanks for coming back and pepping us back up.
Any - Beautiful and funny, great combo!
Sesh- How can I describe you when you're such a wordsmith.  Your brilliance and creativity astound me.


All in all, I think we have an exceptional group of women who hang out here.  SB is quite obviously THE place to be. 

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Okay, I promise I will do this, I am finishing up some work quick and then I will be neurotically trying to not forget anyone to love fest.  These things stress me out, lol.

But for real, most of you know how I feel about you.  I trust a lot of you with things I don't even talk to my IRL friends about.

[Deleted User]

I feel the same, blue. I feel like of almost everyone I know, you get my sense of humor more than most. I'm still a big fat coward when it comes to texting you completely random and useless information though (not that you asked me to, but I frequently think things that I think you would find amusing).
 
KW - I wish so hard that we lived close to each other. i'm really glad we became friends and I am so excited for your book.

Megh - You know I love ya. I can't wait to meet in June!

SarahP - I get a major calming vibe from you. I could be totally freaking out inside but you have a (good) weird way of being all zen-like.

Duds - see above.

Hike - Can't wait for lunch! Did we set a date, because if so, I've totally forgotten.

Dmills - I can't decide if I love you or nuggs more in terms of humor. I think you two need to duke it out.

LetsHikeToday

Sesh- No we haven't. I need to figure out H's deployment schedule and then we can plan. his deployment could come up randomly any weekend in the next month or so.

sarabear23

Anna - I think you're awesome. You're always nice, and I think you're super smart.

Edie - I love the way you remember details about peoples lives around here. You seem really genuine, and I like that.

Rachers - I love when you come around here, you make me laugh.

Any - Your pictures are amazing, and I love how excited you are about school.

SarahP - I'm glad you're around more lately.

Erin/Hike/Brandi - you all seem really nice, and I enjoy your posts.

Blueyed228

Sesh- I text Stef naked pics all the time.  I love random texts.

MandK9

Sarah, I'm free for the next week.  Maybe I'll be around a bit.  But I also need to start designing a thesis study in that time, so not super free.  Like I said-- grad school kills my soul.

Forgot to mention Anna, Alli, and SarahP for somehow being brutally intelligent and amazingly soft-hearted.

And AATB for being so endearingly excitable about life in general.

SEWF

Nebb and Blue- I love that you are who you are and don't let people sway you or your opinion. 

Mara and Mehg- I love that you both know and love Boondock Saints. I don't meet a whole lot of people IRL who do, so it's hard to explain its' awesomeness.

Sesh- Your awe of all things Disney gives you a softer side that doesn't come out a whole lot. Well, that, and Whiskey.

Any- You have come so far in the time that I've been on the boards, and even though I only "know" you through the boards, I'm really proud of you for following your heart. You gave up a lot to come to the states, and I admire that strength. 

Edie- I appreciate that you seem to genuinely care about people on here.

LesPaul

This made me laugh.  IRL is hard.
