Celebrating Blog Day with “Archives Of Our Lives”

I’ve been stalking Camille since the inception of her blog, Archives of Our Lives. It took me nearly two years to show my weasley little stalker face and admit (hands strumming together):

“I’ve been watching you. MUAHAHAHAHA!”

I kid. I kid. My email actually went something like this:

“I stummbled upon your blog a couple years ago and have silently stalked you ever since. OMG. I want to be friends with you so bad. Please say I’m cool, please say I’m cool, please say I’m cool!”

Okay. First sentence = true story. Last three sentences = never really happened but make this story, oh so much, better.

Then, it happened. Camille told me I was “cool”.

YOU GUYS ARE BELLA FINE????????????????????????????

Oh my gosh. I’m not worthy. Please stop reading my blog—I had no idea how intimidating you really were! I mean, I knew you were amazing and had awesome taste, but…BELLA FINE??? Holy crap, my sister will be so excited to know that the Bella Fine people (or at least one person related to them {or do you work there, too? If you do, I might have seen you at some point in my life!!!}) reads/has read my blog.

I’m both honoured and a little mortified. I feel like Martha Stewart has been reading my blog and I never knew it. I need to get cute or something. AHHHH!

Anyway, if you couldn’t tell…I’m a huge fan.

So maybe I was “cool” by association (given the fact that I didn’t actually work down at Bella Fine). Before long, Camille and I were “virtual” BFFs. “Come on let me tell you ’bout my beeeeeeeest friend”. Here’s why:

The prefix in our names is “Cam”(Camille – Camberley)
Our husbands drive trucks for a living (That’s right, we’re trucker wives)
Both grew up in Mesa, AZ. Fortunately for Camille, she was able to escape. She now lives in Canada. Doesn’t that sound so regal?
We share similar tastes in music(Or maybe Dallan and Camille share similar tastes in music. So I have similar taste by association.)

If that doesn’t say virtual BFFs, then I don’t know what does (Maybe someday we’ll meet in person?). Enough about my infatuation with Camille. Here are some of my favourite Archives of Our Lives posts:

I Dread the OB/GYN: The title is pretty self explanatory. Best two lines of this post are. #1) “I’ll be an honest-to-goodness crack whore. A Yasmin™ whore.” #2) “I need at least a week to blog about this!”

My Day at the MVD: Don’t we all dread going to the MVD? Well, at least Camille has the ability to find humor in her visit (unlike Moi). I love her comparison of the MVD to Hell. Hilarious!

Crowning Glory: Camille takes a moment to brag about one of her “clever and witty moments” (which just happened to take place at a family get together).

Premature Menopause: Once again, the title speaks for itself and (I promise) it is H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!

Dear Camille – I don’t know why most of the posts I’ve chosen to share with our readers center on your lady bits. I had such a hard time whittling down everything into four posts and that’s just the way it worked out. Sorry!

How can you not love Archives? Those posts you highlighted are some of the very best.

Wow, I had totally forgotten how silly I was when I first “met” you. This just proves what a fame-whore I am (to back up my claims from New York, that is). I’m ashamed of myself.

But not too much because this post made everything worth it. Now I’m famous and I can die happy.
