I’m home from BlogHer09

July 28, 2009 By 9 Comments

I’m still exhausted from BlogHer. From the parties, the sessions, the sprinting for swag (just kidding), the late nights, the talking, the squealing, the hugging, the laughing, the learning.

Just. Tired.

And I really did miss my family.

So, today, instead of sitting my happy self down at the computer to share the details – I surrounded myself with joy.

 

No, you don’t have to watch the whole thing.

When I can get the sparkle unicorns, (swag), humor bloggers, (swag) Brooke White, 90′s music, Room704, (swag) pink boas, MomTV, signature drinks (swag), Chris Mann and the people (the peeps were my favorite) all into one perfect little bundle, I will write.

P.S. I haven’t even opened the swag yet – thinking that’s a vlog waiting to happen.

Driving with a Swag-ger

July 13, 2009 By 14 Comments

So, I’m excited about BlogHer – and I consider myself to be a helpful kind of girl, yes?

Waaaaaay back when I had told the Room704 crew I would be happy to help deliver party swag to BlogHer, because I am driving – much less expensive transport, ya know?

The amazing Mommentator had offered too.  And the mother-load was delivered to her house.  When I saw the AMOUNT of boxes, I thought to myself, “hmmmm – there is NO CHANCE she will get that all in her car to Chicago….I don’t care if she drives a passenger van”.  That thought was quickly followed by, “why don’t I help – we don’t live so far away from each other”. I figured that way, Mommentator wouldn’t be forced to borrow a neighbor’s semi to deliver :)

Today, we met half way between St. Louis and Kansas City and loaded up my car.  Bonus: I get real live hugs from Mommentator.

So…this is us after the transfer. (Isn’t she fabulous??)

And this is after I arrived home.

And….after I unloaded.

What?  You can tell they are organized by size?  And you think I’m a bit of a nerd?  Well, maybe I am.  And it will make for easy packing when I head to Chi-Town, yes?

Looking forward to a fabulous Par-tay, Room704.
