BlogHer ’09: The Awesome
So, in hindsight, I should have shared my AWESOME experiences first. I really did have the best time ever at BlogHer this year, and I didn’t mean to leave the not awesome post up for so long, but have you heard? I’m melting.
Photo totally stolen from Angella.
Dinner Thursday Evening with Ali, Angella, Darcey, Slynnro, Kristin, Sizzle, Carrisa, Katherine, Kerri, and Kali. Such a good time.

A trip to H&M with girls who should totally hate me because I “KNEW THE WAY” and took them the longest way possible. The only thing better than buying 2 blouses, a cardigan, a dress and a scarf for only $108 is doing it with great friends.
Skipping out on a party to watch the 16 and Pregnant Reunion and drink Greyhounds with great friends. No photo, but I did wear these jammies.
Oh look! A photo from my own camera!
Having a great friend to work registration with. It made the nasty ladies not so bad. Also, this, which started out totally not awesome, but ended up awesome in the end: one of the bottles of EOS Shaving Cream in the swag bags exploded on my very lovely and very favorite blouse (pictured). I tweeted about this and ALMOST INSTANTLY, someone from EOS got right back to me saying they’d like to pay for my cleaning. Such awesome customer service. I will always buy their shaving cream from now on.
Stolen from guess who? Angella!
Drinking $10 cocktails in the lobby bar with the girls. Also, Susan and Chris are pretty hilarious and pretty awesome.
Fantastic friends and fantastic food. Also, a fantastic boyfriend who texts me as we’re being seated for dinner to tell me to buy the girls a bottle of wine on him. Also, live tweeting our dinner with such gems as this.
The second annual photo of Kristin and I hiding behind a tree. The first ever photo can be seen here.
Also – seeing the people that I met last year again, meeting tons of new people, shaking it at the MamaPop party, giggling, eating cheeseburgers with a paper bag on my head, shopping at Ann Taylor with a mimosa in hand, and finally coming home to my own bed and my handsome boy. I can’t wait until next year!

It really was a good time. I’ll be seeing you gals in a couple weeks. Yay for being PNWers (but damn this fucking heat).
P.S. You left out Kerri in the first photo listing. :-)

I love how I’m totally checking Twitter in that first phone. Eating with bloggers, where checking Twitter on your phone isn’t usually rude.
I LOVE the tree photo, even though I look like crap! I probably should have showered before coming down to the suite! HA!
MISS YOU!

I would have gone for H&M alone, but it sounds like there is so much more. Such wonderful women and so much fun. I can’t wait until next year and I hope I can attend.

Excuse my last comment. Blame the heatwave and FARKING PMS.

Or, you may blame Absent Minded Rhiannon, who also forgot HER BEST GIRL KERRI.

Are you cooling off at all? I think we may be under 90° today. Whew.
