Meeting Saucy Wildcat

Back in March Southern Vixen suggested a blog that she thought I would like, Saucy Wildcat.  My first time visiting her site, I saw her post describing her fund-raising efforts for an event to support the American Cancer Society that she was going to participate in.  Two things immediately got my attention- her pretty smiling face, and her story of being a cancer survivor.  You see, my mom has had 2 bouts with cancer and my mother-in-law has also fought cancer, so her tale struck a cord with me.  So I donated a few bucks towards her fund-raising effort and started reading her blog on a semi-regular basis.

Fast forward a few months and we’ve developed a nice little off-line friendship, chatting on the phone once in a while and getting to know each other better.  As it turns out, she lives somewhere within the vicinity of the Atlanta area, which I travel to for work-related reasons once in a while, and we had the idea of meeting someday.

Thursday morning my naughty plans with a blogger fell through, leaving me with a chunk of time free and nothing to do.  So I texted Saucy and suggested that maybe we could meet, briefly.  If you read her blog, you know she’s had some childcare challenges this past week, so she had her girls at her office on Thursday.  But she figured she could leave the girls for a little bit and say hi, which is what she did.

Nothing like hanging out in the local McDonald’s and meeting a blogger for the first time!  Seriously, it was a real pleasure to meet Saucy Wildcat in person and as she wrote on Friday, maybe next time we can actually have lunch or dinner together, instead of just loitering in a fast-food joint for 20 minutes!

Thanks for taking time out of your day, Saucy, it was truly a pleasure to meet you!
