Thank goodness someone tweeted this post or I might have missed it! How lovely, you’re such an amazing writer. And as a round girl convinced that no guy will ever love me unless I go get my tummy stapled or something, I admit to getting a bit misty at your story; in my defense, I am on a couple shots of NyQuil. :)
I am SO happy you guys! And it was awesome to meet you.
I understand entirely what you mean about being, er, round and waiting for the right guy to come along to whom it wouldn’t matter one little bit. I also get that it never seems to mean as much hearing the niceties from family and friends as it does when the man you adore says it to you over and over.
That said, you guys look so happy and sweet and I hope it works out just the way you’d like.
I’m also very glad to have finally known of SOMEBODY who had a POSITIVE experience at Logan Airport. Yeesh!
Meg, I’m SO THRILLED for you. You look/sound so happy. (And no wonder — that boy is cute, isn’t he?) ;-)
There’s nothing I love more than LOVE!!! Woohoo! Congratulations, Meg & Gradon!
Congratulations on happiness…
I used to have frames for my glasses much like Gradon’s.
After months of the emails, talking, and texting as you described, I found *my* man in South Station. Boston is freakin’ magical eh? hehe
Sorry it took me so long to find this post, read it, and feel gushy in my own way. I’m really glad you found someone so wonderful because you really deserve it. All the best Meg!
Meg,
I follow your tweets and your blog..and I think you’re a brilliant, funny amazing person..I wish you were MY friend.. ha ha ha
You, being so savvy on the web, must know about Skype..but it was a true life saver for me and my (ex) long distant boyfriend..saved us TONS in long distance. Pay for the pro account and Skype minutes, and you can get a BOSTON number (forward that to your Van #), he can phone your Boston number (a local call for him) and get you in Van (because it’s forwarded!) Vice versa for him and getting a Van number.. voila..cheap Long Distance!
Plus, you can also talk for FREE computer to computer via a headset or Skype phone (then you’re not chained to your pc)
It worked for us.
Congrats on finding love online. It used to be so cliche..but it’s more ‘accepted’ now, and why not? The internet is a great place to meet like minded people…
Well, Meg – I had already sent you an email and a tweet, but here’s a comment just to say, congratulations! I haven’t found the right one yet, but when I feel like I never will, I will read this post to remind me that there is indeed true love. This will be a post for posterity. Congratulations to you and Gradon.
Oh, Meg, I am so incredibly happy for you! You deserve the best and he sure sounds like the best! I went though something similar in 1999 and last month we celebrated out 9th wedding anniversary.
Dude. It took me until comment 62 on this? I fail.
He’s a keeper. So are you. And, my happiness for all of this… hard to explain in words.
So, watch our video at double speed, while listening to Enya, after having downed four Red Bulls and spinning dizzily in your chair.
And then.. you’ll understand HALF as happy as I am. :)
Meg!
Such wonderful, wonderful news. I have been worried (what with the infrequent posting and all) that health issues were dragging you away from us (your fans and readers).
What a wonderful surprise to find that it was love and and a wonderful young man who is taking your time and talents!
Keep us posted. I spent a good bit of time looking at the Social Media for change site and it is a wonderful project. Good for you, getting involved.

oh meg! marvelous meg…I love your blog so much that I often go away from reading it for a while so there will be a bunch to submerse myself in when I come back (since I burned through the archives already). it’s actually the first blog I read with any regularity.
On many levels I relate to you, and in many ways you’re so much smarter, cooler, funnier than I am.
when I read the post about boston boy, well, I gasped! a gasp of happiness and surprise. you my dear, are an inspiration. there is hope that there are boys out there that can recognize that roundness doesn’t cancel out everything else that is wonderful and true about a person!
good for you! and clearly good for the mr., cause you’re just a super fab gal.
(and incidentally, I think you are a beautiful lady and I loved seeing full lengthy meg!)
Oh my, how did I miss this??? I am so happy for you, Meg.
Wow!!! Meg I am SO happy for you. That is fantastic! (Obviously I am a little behind on my blogging) Best of everything…you deserve it!
