seriously?

July 15th, 2008 at 10:16 am . Posted in bloggers, BlogHer .

Do I seriously leave for California in two days? Seriously?

I feel like BlogHer came up out of nowhere. I really can’t believe this weekend I will be hanging out, learning new things and partying it up with some of the most fantastic bloggers I know!

My suitcase is not even close to being packed. My blog cards are still at the printer (ready, just not picked up). I have no idea what to wear. I have emails to send out. Cell numbers to get. Reservations to confirm, well I have them already but I just need to make sure and ask a few questions. I’m paranoid like that! New design to debut tomorrow. Before you start saying, “OMG this is your millionth new design”, shut your face. Those ads over to the right keep my blogging looking pretty and hosted, so there!

Point is, I have much to do. So much to do.

My MacBook is back. It was with the Geniuses for awhile since the plastic was cracking around the top and the hand rest but AppleCare covered it so that’s awesome! Point is: get AppleCare if you don’t have it yet. My replacement Blackberry is in my possesion. I need to call Tmobile and see why my data package isn’t working but I do have it. iPhone hopefully next week as a wrench was kind of thrown in my plans but I’ll work it out.

Okay, now I have to make you all a little bit jealous now. Guess who I’m having dinner with Thursday once we get all settled in our respective hotels and such.

Go on, guess. I’ll wait.

Give up?

Katelin!

I’m super excited to meet her because I’m pretty sure she was one of my first bloggy friends.

These ladies will be there all weekend too and I could NOT be more psyched to meet them.

Katie
Sizzle
Vanessa
Janet
Slynnro
Kristy
Kerri Anne
Y (omg she invited me to a cheeseburger party?!)

And so many more that I know I’m forgetting off the top of my head.

You just know some crazy shit is going to happen when you put that many woman in San Francisco with alcohol and internet access.

I may or may not be promising a video blog sometime during that.

I also may or may not be intoxicated while video blogging.

Stay tuned.

    Watch out for Y. She’s a crazy woman. And that’s even before she drinks.

    (of course, I mean that in the nicest possible way. I love Y!)

    I’m so jealous of all the BlogHer fun you are about to have! Stupid school causing stupid lack of money and time to devote to blogging fun :(

    You’ll have to have extra fun for the rest of us stuck at home!

    I am freaking out because I’m SO not ready. I have NO idea what to pack, wear, eat, see, etc. I really need to focus and start planning.

    I’m also super excited because I’ll be meeting such awesome people and touring SF with my favorite Jamie! Yay! Best birthday weekend ever!

    Sometimes I think just reading the stories from BlogHer might be better than actually having to go and figure out what to wear. (Or at least I tell my 9 month pregnant self that when I mournfully think of the fun and alcohol I can’t partake in. Sigh.) Have a great time!

    My layout is the most boring thing ever. Don’t think it doesn’t bother me. It totally does.

    Lots of stuff to do- but it all sounds like fun! (with the exception of calling Tmobile, I always hate doing that!)
    Yayy for San Francisco- you’ll have so much fun

    You are going to have so much fun at BlogHer! I’m completely jealous!

    You are completely allowed to change your blog design as often as your pocketbook can afford. New blog designs are fun!

    If you will be doing any intoxicated video blogging I will be watching all weekend!

    You should come to my Itty-Bitty-Pity BlogHer in Chicago on Aug. 1 since I cannot go to the real thing this year. There will be drinks!

    though it is pretty hot out here on the west coast, it gets pretty chilly at night in the bay area.

    dress lightly in the day, bring a sweater or a jacket, and have a rad f’n time in san francisco!
