Home again

I did it!

I did it without being sick, peeing my pants or even, believe it or not, feeling very nervous at all.

I read this here post at the community keynote BlogHer 09 in Chicago on Friday night in front of about 1,400 people and it was incredible.


That's me folks. (Thanks for letting me use it Sassy Monkey)

I kept a low profile this year, hung with my roomie and met lots of lovely new people. I also took a million pictures and will post them all as soon as I can manage to find the memory card holder that is hidden amongst the millions of boxes that are still littered around this new house.

Stay tuned: I figure I'll get around to getting the pictures up about right about the time that you are darn sick and tired of looking about BlogHer pictures, 'cause I'm timely like that.

    It was SO good to see you. But you were roommates with Mandy? I saw her a lot more than I saw you.

    You really were hiding out ;)

    Smooches.

    Just read your keynote post and loved how you referred to it as a lifestyle column vs. an online diary. I'm gonna share this with my husband, who is one of those people concerned with sharing too much personal things on my blog.

    You totally killed at the keynote! I was like, I have to find that gal, because she is so awesome. Seriously. I loved going through pictures of our beloveds over some ice cream with you on Saturday. I wish we could have hung out longer! Next year.

    I wish I could have heard it......I asked about you, you know. If you were the same in person as you are on your blog. The answer was yes......I knew you had a good heart in person as well as on your blog. :)

    Had a freakin' fantastic time with you! And am debating not doing a BlogHer post, so feel free to just post for both of us. ;-)
