Bloggers at the Grocery

A few weeks ago I was telling my sister Willow that they had Willow-brand tissue packs at Aldi's. I mean, you can't be called Willow and not get some for your purse, right? That got me thinking about a lot of my blog friends that come to mind as I push my cart through the grocery. You all can relate to that, can't you? Don't we think about each other even though most of us have never met? It's a fun thing, really.
So indudge me a few moments as I share what I was looking at and who came to my mind....

If you don't see yourself on my list...no worries....I go to the grocery a lot for my five men....I'm sure lots of fresh blog faces will come to mind this coming week! And if you are here and got associated with t.p. or a bug killer, don't take offense...it's all in fun, right? After all, I didn't name you. hee. LOL!

  2. SO TRUE! SO TRUE!
    The other thing that I love to do is try a new product based on the recommendation of another blogger. It is fun and it gets me to be a bit more adentursome!

  3. That is a cute list. And yes, I do think of my blog friends often as I go through my day. Now I'll be thinking in a whole new way. :)

    And 7-Up will never be quite the same. I'll be thinking of you when I see it.

  10. Funny... I often choose Coors Light, when I drink at all.

    And I'm gonna be nice and not say what kind of things remind me of a blog called "My Five Men," although those "things" certainly don't reflect on the blog's classy author!

  11. ha ha ~ yes all in good fun! Great compilation of names and products

    ReplyDelete
  12. This is great! Now I'll be searching the store for things to go with bloggers too!

    ReplyDelete
  13. That was fun to read! My goodness, that took you a lot of time too, getting all those blog names linked up.

  14. Kayren ~ I just took them off my blogroll...only took a couple of minutes and it was fun to do! LOL!

  15. I've seen the Willow brand tissues at Aldi, but never thought to associate them with Willow the blogger. Thanks for the yummy association! I'm off to check out all the others you mentioned

  16. What a wonderful list - with the people you enjoy brought to mind.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh you are just the most amazing and clever gal!!

    What a fun list, and for those I am familiar with was even better. I'm honored to be added to your list!! BTW I need a new pastry brush.


    Tomorrow I'm going to Costco.... I'll be looking for my blog friends on the shelves.

    Thanks for the fun!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. You are too funny...how did you come up with all of those...clever woman!

    ReplyDelete
  20. It is so true, I often think and talk about the people I read about in my blog list, even though we never met, I often think of many of you as friends.

    ReplyDelete
  21. You have got to be the most thoughtful person ever to think of your blogging friinds while shopping! Two straight days of rain here on Anna Maria Island - looking for the sun tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Corners ....oh dear..hope that rain goes away! Did you get to eat at the Shack?

    ReplyDelete
  23. so cute!
    and I always think of you when I sew with a McCalls pattern, and think about the Betsy McCall paper dolls.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm glad you didn't add me to your list because it's a 50-50 shot I'm going to be in with cat-litter!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh, this was fun, Betsy! (I almost typed Besty - should have never told me that, lol!) Maybe now that it's spring there will be some Roses to remind you of me, eh? It is funny how often I think of and talk about my blogging friends. I think we are real friends by this time. When I talk about all of you to others, I usually say "My friend from - " wherever you live. Sure makes me sound cosmopolitan!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Rosezilla ~ so true! I do the same thing with the name/town...I don't even say "blogfriend"..just "friend" :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Very true! One thing often makes you think of the other! I'm looking forward to trying a few new blogs!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Fun, fun, fun! Now I'm going to be doing the same thing as I shop the aisles of the local Kroger.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Subby ~ sorry, you have to be the sandwich...do you call the 'hero' out there in the east or are they Subs like here?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Poetikat ~ LOL! I'll catch you next time...how about in the book section. :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. We have a dress designer here called Willow and there's also Willow decor products.

    I guess I'd be a mix of everything!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. What a fun post! I've been out of pocket and haven't read a blog in several days.....all I could think about was.....wondering what I had missed. I think about my friends everyday even if I don't read or comment!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Very clever! I love Lady Fingers : )

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh so true...I think of my friends often. What a great post!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Very cute idea here! :) The Bach

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't think my previous comment went through... thank you for thinking of me... I'm not that subtle when it comes to dark chocolate am I? :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. As several said yes, I think of my blog friends often throughout the day and have related them to some things but never thru the grocery store. Cute!

    ReplyDelete
  38. That was really cool and works so well with everyone. Some of them I never would have thought of. But I do like Kat and the litterbox, that was too funny.

    And I should tell you that mine has to do with hubby working for the telephone company and climbing "up the pole". A telephone pole is not something you would see in a grocery store but you might see it on the way to the store.

    For some reason I think of you and Willow when I am thinking I need a recipe. Probably because I love all the recipes you two have posted, and hope you will continue to do so. Maybe I should think of you when I look for spices for some of the recipes. Now when I go to the store and see spices I will think of you.

    But it is true how throughout the day I think of my friends here in Bloggyworld. Sometimes I think we know each other better than some of our real life friends. Mostly because we take the time to know each other and read our thoughts. One of the ways that we actually listen to each other.

    Thank you to you and to everyone who ever listens to me.

    God bless.

  39. BPG ~ no, you aren't, but that's one of the many things I love about you. :)

  40. Mrs. Upole ~ thank you so much for explaining your blog name. I have always wondered what that was. I thought maybe Upole was your last name! LOL! :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh, this is so true...I do this all the time...Actually thought of you when looking at the floral dept at Kroger..I kept thinking of that purple shamrock plant you posted and everytime I see a blue hyrdangea, too! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Rebecca ~ did you not find the purple shamrock? I'm wondering if it was leftover from St. Pat. day.

    Yes,...blue hydrangeas...still can't get mine to turn as blue as yours!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. LOL...I could use those power bars about now! Love ya! :D

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nope, Betsy, my local Kroger didn't have any but they may have had some earlier in March that I missed.

    Betsy, try adding coffee grounds to the soil with Mir-Acid or Peter's Perennial Food for Acid-loving plants. It seems that combination helps to deepen the blue...Then again, my soil is pretty acidic to begin with so all of it probably factors in ...

    ReplyDelete
  45. Julie ~ hope you continue to heal and feel better! Yes, a Clif bar would probably help! :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Rebecca ~ I've done lots of coffee grounds and only went from light pink to dark mauve. I think I need to try something stronger...like MirAcid. Your's are amazing! :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yeah, easy for you to say not to take offense--you aren't eh one to be associated with TP. LOL. No, no, no,--I get it very funny. Love Brian;s and Brit in TN and of course, mine!

    You know, I can't say when I've been int eh grocery store and seen all those newspapers that dear Alan has ever crossed my mind at that time. What is wrong with me?!! LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh, hee, saw Silver foxes comment. Too too funny. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Mmm ~ Shhh! That Fox doesn't need ANY encouragement! :)
