Did anybody notice there's a new name added to my Blogger's I've met in real life list?  My Bonnie lies over the Sonoran desert.  My Bonnie lies to the south of me.  My Bonnie lies on the campus of the U of A.  Oh bring back my Bonnie to me!

Sweet little Bonnie came to visit my family today.  She's so nice.  I didn't get to talk to her a lot because she and my wife hit it off so well, and you know how women are when they get to talking.  But it was really cool for her to drive a little out of the way just to see us.

Maybe Bonnie's part cactus, and that's why I like her so much.

Check it out!  Bonnie's goofier than me.

 

 I know most people think Dean is a myth, but I actually met him.  Bonnie just likes to conceal his identity.  I need to get express written consent to post his actual face.  It looks a lot like that one, though.

Day 19 P90X - Arms and Back/Ab Ripper X

My back is sore.  I think it's because of the weeds I was pulling in my yard instead of the workout.

And today is Julianna's birthday.

We let her get tattoos for her gift.

Thanks for the photos, glad you could meet another blogger, looks like a great time. Don't you think tattoos are kind of a big step for Julianna? She is very cute by the way, with or without the tats.

We live in a new day and age flatty. Get with the times.

From Bonnie on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 16:09:10 from 64.119.33.134

ha ha ha ... Yes, your wife and I did gab and gab! I bet most of the blog does not know that you are actually a little "shy" in real life (that is what his wife said), Dean said you are not shy, but with all those women around you don't really get a chance to get a word in edgewise ;-). It was such an awesome visit Burt!

From KP on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 19:37:12 from 98.67.175.149

love the song intro! i'm glad that you and your bonnie had a great visit!

From Burt on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 19:47:10 from 98.177.220.145

I am shy. I admit it. Plus I have bad ears, so I think I'm talking loud enough for people to hear me, but I'm not. It's a double-edged sword.

KP - When are you coming by?

From KP on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 20:58:27 from 98.67.175.149

when are you buying my plane ticket?

by the way, bonnie, dean is one good-looking man :) i love a good smile!

Nice pics Burt/Bonnie! Burt you are really expanding the list of bloggers I've met in real life. Hopefully I can meet everyone at STG. Sounds like good times!

From auntieem on Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 10:52:12 from 24.18.77.246

Thanks for the pics, Burt! So cool how you get to meet all kinds of bloggers. Noone every comes this far North - lol!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 16:54:32 from 24.8.167.243

Lucky! I want Bonnie to come visit me. You can come too, Burt. Colorado is nice in the summer. Not as hot as Arizona.

Happy Birthday to Julianna!

I have some oceanfront property in your neck of the woods but unfortunately I don't get out there too much. Glad the back ripper didn't do too much damage.

From Burt on Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 17:37:09 from 206.19.214.144

Vinh - I think I met your cousin. Someone with the last name Nguyen. I know that's not a very popular last name. LOL!

auntieem - you're number one on the Bloggers I've Wish I Met in Real Life.

Carolyn - It's okay to be jealous. Bonnie is super cool; totally worthy of being jealous. But you've met Sasha and Nan.

Joe - From your front porch can you see the sea?

From Nan on Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 22:02:17 from 174.51.250.151

How fun! Maybe I'll start a "bloggers I've met" list although I'm not sure I can recall all the bloggers I met after TOU since I was pretty delirious. I think I've met at least 10 bloggers and recruited another 5 or 6 though.

Bonnie-Dean really has a pleasant aura. Something about him...I can't quite put a finger on it.

From Burt on Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 11:25:21 from 98.177.220.145

Nan - Let's think about this. If you start your own list, you run the risk of forgetting somebody and offending them. The next thing you know, they quit the blog. Then they quit running. Then they quit everything and become a morbidly obese invalid. Could you live with yourself? I know I could.
