Only 14 more sleeps until BlogHer ’10 and, since this IS my 4th year attending this particular blogging conference (read: proved myself to be a dork, 3 times, for REAL, already!) I feel it safe say, “WHOOT!” and admit that I am sooooooo happy I do NOT HAVE TO worry about flying, you know, in an airplane, or eleventy.
Heeeeeeello, NJTransit…it’s been a while…how’ve ya’ been, dawg?
Still, it can get sorta weird, stepping out from behind one’s blog and leaving your delete button, behind (mine is broken, go figure) and, well, it’s kind of hard to pass myself off as the ageless, yet brilliantly insightful and entertaining blogging ingenue….
[sound of crickets chirping]
….AM SO!…in my mind, anyway…still, BlogHer is one of the very few chances I get (if any) to hang out with some of my favorite people in the blogging community.
[Yeah, I’m looking at you, BusyMom, Jenn, SocalMom, Melisa With one S, Headless Mom, Dawn and NYCityMama, just to name a few!!!]
Also, to meet and thank past blogging partners and new business associates who I am also very proud to be able to call, friends.
[That would be you, Cooper and Emily!!!]
Because, in some weird-ish way…we HAVE become friends…who happen to agree…to disagree and like each other, anyway.
In fact, it was Melisa’s post (more specifically, the above picture of us…at BlogHer 2009 in Chicago…together) that inspired me to write this one and say to ALL of you going to BlogHer, this year…HOLY CRAP!…I do NOT look like that, anymore.
In fact, looking back, I’ve had a completely different hairstyle, or color…every year.
That’s Aimee and me at BlogHer 2008 in San Franscisco with my short (very, very short) dark-ish, HOLY CRAP, but California is a LOOOOONG way from New Jersey, look.
That’s Lisa, Amber, Dana, Shannon and me at BlogHer 2007 in Chicago with my long-ish, gold-ish THANK GAWD these people don’t seem to mind hanging with a dork, look.
Aaaaand, what’s the look gonna be…this year?
[snicker]
Well, only 14 more sleeps and you’ll find out…soon enough…besides, I wouldn’t want to ruin your image of me, anymore than I have, already, maybe.
[sound of crickets chirping]
Oh…look…over there…is that something shiny?
Oh, alright…this is me at a recent family barbecue…IS TOO…just, look for me at the BlogHer 5K Fun Run/Walk…I’ll be wearing the same color tutu (for Tanner) so, how do I look?

I wish I were going!
Have fun 🙂
I hope you have a fantastic time at BlogHer! Let us know all about it and of course, I’m looking forward to this year’s photo. 🙂
Hey Surprised Mom!
Thank you. Yes, I will be sure to share photos…taken with Melisa's awesome loaner…because, my camera is STILL broken 🙁 I am not allowed to touch Melisa's and no, I do not blame her one bit.
Hugs,
Liz

Me too, Kim. It's been a long time in between hugs, no?
Hair. It’s funny. I have different hair in all of my family pictures. It’s fine. Hair is fun to play with!
I haven’t chosen my tulle colors for my tutu yet. I need to get crackin’!
OMG, You have morphed into my celebrity obsession, Mariska Hargitay! How did you end up looking JUST LIKE HER? hahahaha 😛 I’m bummed i won’t be able to see your blogher hair this year! BOO!
Even less sleeps now. Can’t wait to see you, roomie! (I swear I’ll shower after camping. 😉 )
Hey Kendra,
Can't wait — you'll probably get in before I do (dropping kids off at my folks' place, first) so, I'll be sure to be very, very quiet, when entering our room, while you're napping 🙂
Hugs,
Liz
Hi Heather!
We had such a GREAT time, last year…right? Will be thinking about/missing you!
Hugs,
Liz
Hey Jenna!
Yeah, I need to get cracking on choosing colors…for hair AND tutu, too 🙂 Can't wait to meet and hug you in person…FINALLY!
Hugs,
Liz
I’ll be there again this year too – can’t wait to see you and say hi! 🙂
Up until this year, I have marked BlogHer past, by the Drama of the year.
The “Not a MommyBlogger” Drama
The PayPerPost Drama
The “how dare they give kitchen goods for swag, what is this the 50’s” drama
and of course last year’s SwagGate (who pilfered this most swag?)
This year, looking forward to witnessing this first hand, and hopefully proving my suspicion that there is more to this conference than the Drama that always breaks out on the following Monday.
You are going to help a fellow Jersey guy out navigating this event… right?
Sorry it took me so long to get here and read…I had to take pictures of a special five-year-old as I forced her (not really) to go out onto the Sears Tower ledge…
I took 500 pictures this weekend, so considering the fact that I’ll be in NYC from Wed-Sun, I should end up with nearly, what, 1500? Plenty to go around. And I would TOTALLY let you touch my awesome loaner camera. Just for a second. 🙂
And I’m totally going to need a picture of you in your hot pink tutu. Mine will be decidedly more, um, understated: it’s white tulle w/ pastel ribbons (my shirt is dark pink though!). And my 5K time is, um, decidedly earlier than yours: I start at 6:15!
So I’ll see you for breakfast then? 🙂
Hi Deb,
AWESOME — prepare to be hugged 🙂
Liz
Abso-friggin-lutely, JayMonster 🙂

Melisa,
I'm running/walking 6:30 a.m. along Broadway (you too, right) so, one of us could start 15 minutes earlier/later, or breakfast it is!!!
Hugs,
Liz

Hi Liz, I’m coming over from Melisa’s blog! Can’t wait to meet you at this years Blogher 🙂 It will be my very first time so I have no idea what to expect.
Hi Patty!
So nice to meet you and thanks for taking the time to stop by and introduce yourself. You can expect to have LOTS of fun, make TONS of connections and make TONS MORE new friends, like me! I'll be taking the train into NYC on Thursday afternoon-ish, so feel free to DM me and I'll find you 🙂
Liz
