Out here in blogland – you have your bloggers (like me), and then you have your celebrity bloggers. They’re the real deal – and most of them are totally amazing.
One of my favorite celebrity bloggers is Allison at House of Hepworths.
Allison has been kind enough to let me guest post not once, but TWICE! (You can read them here and here.)
And last week, she left a comment on my blog that basically said she wanted to be my very best friend in the world.
And I also took her comment as an open invitation to stop over anytime with my family to get down to the business of being best friends.
So that’s just what I did. I loaded up the kids and Even Steven in the minivan, and I drove to Texas (or wherever it is that she lives) to stop by.
Unfortunately, Allison wasn’t there…
Allison – sorry we missed you – but your house was fabulous! (You probably should start locking the door when you leave, btw).
Your family room looks amazing – especially that mounted television (no cords!) Simon was thrilled to have carpet to crawl around on, and I borrowed a few books off your bookshelf – I hope you don’t mind?
Even Steven was a little grumpy about making this long roadtrip, so I told him to just help himself to anything in the kitchen. I knew my bestie wouldn’t care a single bit!
And – yes – I totally lost track of my kids for a few minutes. But, no worries, I found Miles and Simon in your bathroom. (You might want to check for pee in your toilet brush holders.)
And I found Alice in your closet. I hope you don’t mind that she borrowed a pair of your socks.
Anyways – I’ll probably call before I stop by next time. (30 hours in the car with my kids is no fun!)
XOXO

lmao! omg! you are just too funny!
Real Nice Anna! You think nothing of driving 30 hours to some person’s house you have never met – yet you whine about driving 5 hours to YiaYia’s house so I can see my Grandchildren? I’m somewhat of a celebrity here you know – I’ve even had my name in the newspaper….okay it was for being in a car accident but I got lots of calls….we need to talk. I’m free next weekend. I’ll plan on you coming up.
Love Mom
OMG, I’m peeing my pants right now. You are now officially the funniest person I know. And of course we can be BFFs! I’ll just come to your house from now on.
Thank you for making my morning! I try to be funny, but you, my friend, take the cake.
xoxo
Oh, and seriously, if you ever are in Austin, PLEASE come see me. In fact, I think you should plan an entire vacation around coming to Austin and staying with me. I’ve got a guest room and loads of toys. But if Even Steven makes that face at me, he’s O-U-T.

BEAUTIFUL! That is the funniest post I ‘ve seen in a long time! I’m so glad that Allison introduced us – maybe I’ll bring my family by your place for a visit very soon.
You are flippin’ hilarious.

OMG! I am laughing even harder at you mom’s reply!!
Sorry, Anna, this is for your mom:
You GO, girl! Us grandma’s have to stick together on matters of this nature! Only 5 hours to see you?? And she doesn’t come every weekend? That girl needs a talkin’ to! Oh, and by the way, you ARE famous in my book. You gave this girl her sense of humor and I love it! So…thanks!
OK, missy, here’s some for you….as for famous bloggers? For us poor souls out here that don’t blog, only stalk, there are different priorities that make a blogger famous. One thing is if they actually answer a post from a nobody like me. And you have! And I saved them! So, yeah, that makes YOU my #1 famous blogger! Being a lowly stalker, I would never presume to call you my BFF (though I may or may not tell my kids you are) but if you are ever in Arizona (though only the good Lord would know why you’d want to be) you and all your kids…and Even Steven….are welcome in my home!
Sorry. This was long. I’ve taken up too much of your precious time. Forgive me. But…..YOU DA BOM, GIRLFRIEND!!!!!
Hilarious! I love this post, Anna. I found you through Allison (another funny gal) and I’m bookmarking your page now.
PS. I see where you get your humor, your mom’s comment is awesome

When I first glanced at the first picture, I was momentarily confused. “What? She actually did this? What a fruitcake!” When I looked again, I realized this was all the power of photo manipulation. Awesome! Very fun!

This my first time on your blog, but that post was hilarious! I’ll definitely be reading more often!
I found you through Allison and hopped over here to see what she was talking about. This is absolutely HILARIOUS! And Allison is the perfect person to play a joke on since she has such a great sense of humor. This made my day. Oh, and your Mom is pretty darn funny, too. Maybe she needs a blog of her own!
Hi Anna~
Stumbled upon your blog via HOH. You are one funny gal! Happy to be a new follower. I had 2 kids in 2 years and I 2 drive a mom van and wear mini jeans. LOL!
