What should I do? Dd6 finally met a little friend and. . .

[gandpsmommy]

I *lost* her mother's e-mail address! It is the only contact info. I had for this little girl. Dd met her at a homeschool open gym at the local gymnastics center. They hit it off and were both really excited to have found a friend. We have been trying to find some playmates close to her own age for dd since we moved 1.5 years ago, and we were so happy! We were just getting ready to invite her to dd's Valentine's Day party (which we were planning *specifically* so that she could get to know a few little girls better that she has recently met), when I discovered that the slip of paper on which her mom wrote her name and e-mail address is missing from my purse. I did a quick clean out of papers from my purse this weekend and I fear that it might have gotten tossed in the trash inadvertently. Ugggghhhh! I just feel so frustrated with myself. Anyway, I know that her e-mail was a university address, and I can find one person's e-mail that is a university e-mail address on the list of people the open gym e-mail was sent to (all members of an area homeschool group). Should I try this e-mail address, just to see if it's the right one? I don't even know her parents' names, so I can't look them up in the phone book or anything. Would it be weird to try this e-mail address when I'm not sure it's the right one?:confused::(:o

I think it is ok to try the e-mail address if you say something like "I hope this will reach the right person. I met "Candy" at the Homeschool open gym and was given her e-mail address. Unfortunately I've lost the slip of paper. This address looks very much like the address I was given. If this is not "Candy", I apologize profusely! If it is, please e-mail me back!"

I'd try it--just give an explanation that you lost the paper but you're trying to contact ____'s mom.

Hope it's her!

I hope you find her!

:)It had gotten tucked into my checkbook, which was in the same pocket of my purse. I found it this morning when I was paying bills. It was the right address. I'm glad, since I went ahead and tried the address last night. I do feel a little silly, though. I guess it ended well, though!

Hooray! I'm so glad it was the right address.
