Done and Done

February 2nd, 2009

I’m all booked for BlogHer ’09 in Chicago. I’ve paid for early registration and booked the hotel room. I’m still searching around for a plane ticket that doesn’t make me feel like I’ve been violated by a large German prison guard, but whatevs.

I have no idea how I’m supposed to be expected to wait six months for this shindig. I’m going to meet Shelly, for cryn’n out loud! Shouldn’t the BlogHer people move the conference up by about five months?

Luckily, this spring/summer is going to be crazy hectic for us so it ought to go by quickly. It’s also looking like I’ll be going back to work part-time really soon, so that’s one more thing that should help time pass a little more quickly.

Part of the reason I’m so excited about going is because I feel like I’m doing it for me. This blog is my very own space in my otherwise crowded life. My friends and I can talk about whatever here. I don’t have a lot of that in my day-to-day life, you know? I want to grow as a blogger. Not visits or ads or junk like that. More like communicating better and engaging my readers more. I’m hoping BlogHer will help get me on the right path. If not, well, it’s sure to be one helluva party, right? I mean, I’m rooming with Becky and, did I mention SHELLY?

    I know – how are we supposed to wait 6 whole months? That’s just cruel! I haven’t booked plane tickets yet either b/c I’m waiting for a magic sale where they’re only $50 or something silly like that.

    I agree with you absolutely that going to BlogHer is an absolutely ME thing.

    We’re so freaking fabulous, aren’t we???

    Wow, it will be SO much fun. I want to go more every time I hear about it. I love your idea about why you are going, that’s why I want to go. I want to meet you guys and just do something fun for me. I was even more jealous when I saw where it is. I’ve stayed in that hotel in Chicago twice when I was there for different conferences. It’s great, and I loved it every time I was there. Plus I would TOTALLY just drive to Chicago from here. OK, I better stop or I’ll cry. I know you’ll all have a great time and tell us all about it.

    Let’s here more about the job.
