In less than a week, I am about to embark on one of the greatest
adventures of my life – since becoming a mom, anyway – and I’m excited
to be able to attend this year’s BlogHer Conference in Chicago, where I hope to have the pleasure of finally getting together with some of the bloggiest…mommies…I’ve been reading…for a long time…and who I am dying to meet…face-to-face!
They’ve allowed me to escape into a private little world – though,
quite undeservedly named and rather unpleasant to the ear – blogging
has simply become a refuge from, you know, the average, every day, same
old-same old.
[breaths in deep]
No need to get dressed, or put on airs with me – what you see is
what you get – you don’t even need to bother brushing your teeth, if
you don’t want to!
Heaven knows, I don’t and look forward to your visit, anyway.
.
Traveling across the country, to a strange city, sharing the bathroom with three other women
and representing nothing more, than myself, in front of hundreds of
other bloggers, in something other than pajamas – not so much!
As if I could do ANYTHING, in ten seconds – besides shave my legs, hide under the covers and make up flimsy excuses for the amount of dirty laundry, or dust bunnies of enormous size, of course – but, Mocha Mom has this great way of knowing just what it takes to make a person feel, you know, welcome.
So, what can I say…about myself…that sums me up in a nut shell –
shuddup! – well, since I’m already late for an appointment (I know, act
surprised) how about this?
- Mother of 4, subhuman caretaker to 2 cats and 1 sock-eating Doofus-dog.
- Lover of multi-functional gadgets and slayer of all appliances proved either slow and/or inefficient.
- Wife, of nearly 17 years, to The Hubs – rarely photographed, but is said to be a cross between Dennis Miller and Garth Brooks.
- Born under the sign of Gemini and a very proud twin sister to a Sgt. 1st Class – Go Army!
- Daughter to a doer and a dreamer.
- Loved by many; even though she’s a total DORK!
Sounds more like a epitaph – I know! – but, I haven’t flown in
nearly 15 years and I do believe that the 2 1/2 hour ride just may kill
me!
If anyone needs me, I’ll be cleaning, packing and white-knuckling my way through the week!

[Edited to add….]
Oh, and – just so you know – anyone can join in on the fun and give
a 10 second interview of their own. Go ahead. It’s always nice to learn
something new about the people you love. And…because I said so.
If you are going to BlogHer, look for me – I’ll be scoring some major points over at Cool Mom Picks – take a picture with me, because I’ll be the blogger:
- Using a pen and paper – take my laptop and risk losing, or breaking it…are you kidding me!?! – 10 points
- You now love but who you have never read/knew before – I’m just saying! – 5 points
- With the same first name as you – Busy Mom, Table4five, Mom101, Liz Henry, Liz Rizzo, – 15 points, EACH
I’m just saying.
