What I did was first do the export/download from the original blog to my computer. Then I had to sign out of the original blog and sign into the other one-then import the file from my computer. SO INCREDIBLY SEAMLESS! It said it would take 24 hours, but it showed up immediately!!
I think I'm going to like it here on wordpress!!
thanks again AUXCLASS for your help.

The top part - Moving Between WordPress.com Blogs - you will Export one and Import that data into the second one.

Don't delete the first one when have completed the transfer ( the one you are leaving ) set it to private so if you want to experiment you have a blog you can try a different theme on or whatever and not disturb your main site - once a name is deleted it can never be reused even by you.

(i guess that would have been the smarter thing to do....but) I have posts on the original blog which I'd like to move to one of the new ones. i hope this makes sense.
please let me know what other information would be helpful. thanks so much for your help. :)

You can add the first user to the second account and then the first user can post and manage both blogs.

A bit more information would help us give more complete help.

From the link I referenced:

To transfer a blog, go to My Blogs in your dashboard and move your mouse over the address of the blog you wish to transfer. You will see that a Transfer Blog option appears:

Note that you will only see this for blogs where you are the owner.

If you are certain you want to transfer a blog then click the transfer blog option. A screen will appear with a warning:

After you have read and confirmed this warning, you can enter the username or email address of the WordPress.com user you wish to transfer the blog to:

I can see how to export a blog from the original account dashboard under 'my blogs' but I can't see where there's an option to import one on the new account dashboard.

These are the blogs I want to export to the new username:
http://thisunlitlight.wordpress.com/
http://echoesfromemptiness.wordpress.com/

Probably I'm just overlooking something very obvious ... sigh
