BlogHer Party Time
You know, I’ve been totally excited about the BlogHer 09 Conference since buying my tickets months ago, but I really had no idea how involved and busy the weekend in Chicago was going to be! I suspect I’m going to be coming home very tired, which is going to make for an interesting Monday morning of work on the 27th, but it will be so worth it!
I get in to Chicago Thursday afternoon, with my wonderful best friend who is coming to do some sightseeing and who I’ve talked into attending a couple of parties/events with me. Thursday night I’m thinking about attending the People’s Party, but first BFF and I will wander around downtown Chicago and go for a nice dinner together. It’s rare for us to have girl time without my kiddos hanging around, so that is going to be so nice.
Friday is the really crazy day though. I’m starting the day off early with the BlogHer 5K, then the conference all day, then there are two parties I for sure want to drop into, the Mommy Needs a Cocktail Party, because well – there is talk of a chocolate fountain – YUM!! But the party I am most excited about is the Type-A MOMfluence party, sponsored by HP. I’ve been a Type A Mom editor since last fall, about the same time as I started Halo Secretarial, and I think it’s going to be so cool to meet some of the other Type-A moms in person! I’m not super-involved in the whole blogosphere thing otherwise – I read a lot of blogs and I sometimes remember to comment. I love writing my blog, but I’m totally scared I won’t “know” many bloggers at the big conference. But at the Type-A Mom party? I KNOW I will recognize some of their faces and that is so exciting!!
Then there is more conference on Saturday a BowlHer Party I’m thinking about attending Saturday night (I love bowling!!!) and Sunday BFF and I are going to have a whirlwind day of sightseeing, before our early evening flight home.
It sounds exhausting doesn’t it? But I am so thrilled to have this opportunity, only 18 sleeps till I leave!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Isn’t BlogHer gonna be crazy?! I’m slowly telling myself, I’m gonna relax, wear what I wanna wear, chat with whoever I see, and just enjoy networking with amazing women who share the same interests as me.
I’d love to meet ya! If we don’t run into eachother Thursday or Friday, look for me on Saturday at the conference.. I’ll be wearing a black Label Daddy t-shirt with jeans! (told you I’m not worried about what I’m wearing!)
Countdown is ON for Chicago!

This is my first blogher too. I’m speaking on a panel, and feeling generally terrified. If you see some chick with wild hair hiding behind the potted plants, come say hi.
