Meeting a MM - who would you be curious to meet?

[cajunmom]

I want to meet some of the big dogs, just to see how different their lives are than mine.

I think it's @shoegal that has the wildlife oasis of a back yard...I'd love to see that in person.

[Deleted]

We'd have fun, @hannymaren, because we'd both give our kids some ice cream and watch them be crazy.
I'd meet anyone. @fivedogs and I seem to agree a lot. @gingersb as my attainable pick because I actually go to her city once or twice a year. audette, too, if she was ever on the continent.

Or be a fly on the wall of their life?
This shouldn't be some sappy or kisses post where you say you want to meet xyz because she is so cool or seems soo nice. Say you want to meet someone to taste their famous cookies - lame but Better.
Yes I started the post so I can have anti- lame rules

I would like to meet a lot of MMer moms because I think we would have good play dates. But especially @tokenhoser she intrigues me.

And I would love to spy on @arya because truth is, maybe I hold a little grudge.

Right now, you'd be pretty bored...I'm sitting at the computer with a baby on my boob, as usual these days.

[bunch]

I'd love to meet both you and @arya, Hanna. Probably not together. So many of the mmms - @starry and Willis Jackson toward the top of my long list.

I'd love to put a face to a name for v and @shoegal.

[rootbeerfloat]

I would like to stowaway on @sfgal530's luggage on one of her fancy trips, then hang out in her amazing house when it's finished.

[changedname]

@shoegal for sure. She comes across as so positive and enthusiastic, a real breath of fresh air for a cynical old Brit like me. I'm not used to it.

farmvillelover and @notquiteblushing. I read both their blogs more times that I'd like to admit while going through IF. They both helped me without knowing it so I'm curious what they are like.

[rikki]

I feel so fortunate that I have met so many of you already!

I would love to meet bronxgirl. She has always been very supportive of me. @mrschicken because we grew up super close to each other and because hopefully she would let me play with her chickens. Lots of MMMs... we would have super fun playdates. chia because our boys would be best friends. jenny1980 and farmvillelover I think we would have a lot of fun (which I guess if I followed the rules isn't a good enough reason, but I don't care!).

seconded, lol.

[hamster]

Gosh. I think @mrschicken agnes and @idaholakelady would top my list, but there are so many others. These three just seem funny and down to Earth and "my type".

[rbp]

v because she could take me out for the best pizza in NYC, bar hopping (once I get rid of my current condition), and we could bitch about pedantic things. 

[Deleted]

I want the stars to align so rikki, hurricanedrunk, KaraOrNot , rachelgreen and I can have a Fox Valley gtg.

I want to be a fly on the wall at lys house.

[knavy]

I want to follow shoegirl and M at work.

[Deleted]

Aw, the feeling is mutual hamster.

Also, all of the football fans on the board--image the mega Sunday Funday with every game on somewhere and all the drunken trash talking. SO MUCH FUN.

[agnes]

off the top of my head (there are more!):

I would like to meet @shoegal's shoe collection.

I feel like hamster and I would hit it off right away.

I would want v to take me out for pizza.

I wonder if lys is the same in real life. I'd love to see her let her hair down.

I would love to meet kooshball and @songforyou because they seem so awesome in different ways.

[aurora]

I'm trying to think of people who haven't already been named.

SJ because she could teach me a ton about investing.

RockNVoll because of her athletic interests.

Susie because I love her dogs and also am a huge Calvin and Hobbes fan.

There were others I had in mind just a minute ago...

[aurora]

I forgot keweenawlove because she's another xc skier! I think there is at least one other on these boards but I forget who.

[niq]

@lasagnaasshole because DUH. ETA why can't I tag right? lasagnasshole ... the "duh" here is I want to see if the outgoing/loudmouth online personalities are the same way IRL. So I guess @crackhabit too, I'm sure I'm missing several.

I hope I might meet some of the Atlanta people some day. But I only really go back for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. Maybe when V is older we'll go for my dad's birthday or something.

I think there are some people who have nerdy/wonky government jobs? like, there was some thread about NTSB or NHTSA or whoever mandating that cars have backup cameras, and someone went and found the agency's cost-benefit analysis? I would want to meet them.

[carfar]

I would most likely meet almost anyone, as long as I didn't feel they were completely crazy from their posts on here. I enjoy meeting new people I've met a few MMers now, and none were awkward, or skin suit like. In fact, all were fun, welcoming, intelligent women.

I can't think of any names off the top of my head that aren't there for silly, "she seems awesome" reasons. For now, I'll say rikki because she is a birthmother, and seems very open about it. I'd like to talk with her about her experience and how we can maybe support and understand what the hypothetical birth mom that chooses us may be feeling and going through.

[M]

knavy - I think you'd be bored out of your mind. Getting final $ and % results on Excel sheets is the highlight of my day lol.

To answer the OP... There are so many I want to list just because they seem so nice and interesting lol. Off the top of my head for now:

luvmagoldn and aspentosh because you are one of the few here that understands my love for fun cars.

@shoegal because I want to see your shoe collection and your home. And take you out for a ride so that you'll be convinced that you can't live without an M6.

knavy because you live in Hawaii and I so want to live there. My dogs are named Hilo and Kona for a reason lol.

212 because you love pretty shoes too.

[ESF]

I want to see 212's wine collection.

You are welcome anytime you are in the DC area!! We do love our backyard, and birds are nesting now so we have babies soon! Squee.

I want to meet so many of you! @sfgal530 to discuss house plans /travel / wine, 212 to see all her 5050s, @mrschicken to meet all the chicks and MISO, M because I think we would be besties and maybe to drive her car....list goes on and on. Oh and I want to make lasagna with lasagnasshole!

[mellymel]

@this because she is hilarious

[krystee]

I would like to go on rubytue 's boat.

I would like to meet KaraOrNot and rachelgreen because they are nice and funny, and they can save me when H wants me to go to the air show in their area.

I want to meet SJ because i love how she is a mix of super smart and super sweet. We've almost met twice, but it hasn't worked out yet.

I would like to meet @ameliapond so I could tell her how awesome I think she is with the incredible support she is giving her husband.

There are more, but I am typing on my phone and I am too lazy to keep going.

*edited one of the reasons above

[mswax]

I'd like to meet ECB, vanillacourage, and @carmensandiego because they seem cool and feel the same way about a lot of parenting/life/balance things that I do.

[bunnysmom]

I want v to take me this weekend to the cat cafe.

Oh, and I also want to go shopping with @shoegal so she can give me fashion advice.

Just name the day

[rachelgreen]

rikki RockNVoll @mrsspunky are all on my list. They all seem sweet and have been helpful/supportive in one way or another when I've posted looking for advice.

krystee and I will either get to meet next weekend or this summer so that makes me super happy.

KaraOrNot lets me rant about nonsense so I think everyone should want to meet her. Speaking of, we need our Italian date asap.

[emilyinchile]

I would tag along on a quarterly shopping spree with wanderlustfoodie and then have v take us out for drinks and dinner. Then I'd pop down to DC where lasagnasshole would take me out for giant cinnamon rolls and feed me her homemade lasagna so that I could decide whether she is truly worthy of her name. And then after eating all the things, I would have cuadrado make me a meal plan to turn me into a workout machine.

This does NOT include alllllll of the people who I just think seem cool and would like to meet, I'm following the rules here!

[keweenawlove]

I'd love to meetup with aurora to go skiing

I feel like @shoegal and I could have some awesome adventure travels together

RockNVoll has always given me really good advise

I want to drink wine with 212 too!

Susie and @mrschicken so we can go running or biking together.

I would be more than happy to talk to you about this whenever you'd like! I used to lead groups for prospective adoptive parents on those exact topics. Just let me know! I'd love for it to be in person, but since that likely isn't possible (boo!), over the phone or email is great.
