I’m about to get really annoying.
Like…the most annoying I’ve ever been in my entire life, dwarfing that period of blogging where I DIDN’T SAY NO TO ANY GIVEAWAY & then had my mental & emotional breakdown. What? Dudes, I am so well-aware of how obnoxious I was. At least you could escape by clicking the big red “X” at the top of your screen. I HAD TO LIVE WITH MYSELF. I simply give you kudos for sticking with me through that hot mess.
Anyway.
I’m about to talk about Blogher ’10. & you’ll have one of these reactions:
- NYC 4evah!!
- SHUT THE FLYING F*CK UP ABOUT BLOGHER ALREADY.
- Please, dear God, do not let me run into you in New York.
- I AM SO JEALOUS I WANT TO CLAW YOUR EYES OUT.
- How the hell did you get a sponsor?
In 9 days, I’ll be flying to New York City for Blogher. Seriously, I cannot even exude the awesomeness that is that sentence. I’m flying to New York, where I will spend 3 1/2 days surrounded by women (& some men) that share the same passion for being an attention whore, aka blogging. I’ll meet some of the amazing people I’ve been blogging & tweeting with for the past two years. I’m running in a charity 5K while wearing a tutu. I’ll probably trip a lot, get lost, & turn into a Bloggess Groupie that can’t put two words together in her presence. & then come home to write about how I managed to spill coffee down my dress right before I met with the Martha Stewart folks.
& I’m blessed to have it completely sponsored by two amazing, generous companies that for some reason, have also stuck it out with me: Jockey & Nutrisystem.
I’m flattered. I’m in awe. I’m so excited. I’m unworthy. I’m nervous. I’m so many emotions wrapped up into one person over the next week & a half that I have to stop & remind myself to just breathe before I get steamrolled into a pile of Blogher mush. I’m not packed. I have no idea what I’m going to wear, how I’m going to make all the parties, or even if I have to pay to check luggage on my flight. I do know that I’m going to laugh. A lot. & learn even more. & probably drink champagne (don’t worry, it’s okay’ed by the doctor). I’m going to need a pedicure & a new laptop battery & to remember to pack my running shoes. I know I’m going to make a fool out of myself while meeting friends that will last a lifetime.
& I’m so excited.
So excited to meet you
I am all sorts of nervous too but i cant wait!
I am so happy for you BA! You are going to have an amazing trip!
Good luck on the race – can’t wait to see pictures of you in a tutu!
Woo! NYC4EVAH!
But really, so awesome. I hope to see you there!
I’m so excited for you!!! & I hope you blog (or at least tweet) while you are there!!
I’m so happy for you! If it wasn’t Bubbette’s birthday on August 6 – I would fall into the category of NYC4evah! But alas, I am here, plotting my to get to Blogher11 & Blissdom4evah! Right?! RIGHT?!
Sounds a hell of a lot more exciting than my work conferences! (I assume you won’t be listening to hours long seminars on yeast infections or anthrax???)
Have fun!
Your so lucky i wish i was able to go to blogher10. I did not learn about it till recently and now i want to go so bad.
I am going to go with option #4 but I will also add that I hope you have an AMAZING time!!
I am SO happy and excited for you and can’t wait to read all about your adventures when you come back!! It’s been so fun to watch your blog grow and become so successful!
jealousE!!!
Congratulations! Have fun!
Congrats Blair!! Good for you! Have a great time!
Can’t wait to meet you =) Yay for BlogHer and NYC!
Sounds like a lot of fun! Hope you have a great time. Can’t wait to hear all about it!
I am so jealous I could claw your eyes out. I will meet you in 2011
This post reminds me of the episode of Saved by the Bell where Jessie takes the caffiene pills….”I’m so excited, I’m so excited, I’m so SCARED!!!”
Have fun! NY is the best!!
I have to say, I am a #2 right now….
But I know it will all pass and you will get back to blogging about things other than somethingonlyfellowbloggersreallycareabout.
Lisa’s comment had me choking on my apple with laughter… and also wondering what type of conferences have both yeast infections and Anthrax within the scope of discussion?
Bitch! lol
Have fun! I’m jealous!
I know how much you love your cupcakes, so please do yourself a favor if you have the time and swing by Magnolia Cupcake and treat yourself to a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. Mmmm…they’re all good, but that’s my fave. And no, I do not work there. If I did, I’d be 300 lbs. I merely am a fan. They’ve got a few locations for your convenience. Also? Their banana pudding is lovely, but you’re from the south so it might not live up. Have fun!
Hope you have a wonderful time!
How exciting!!!! I can’t wait to hear all about your trip when you return.
I am glad you shared your experience over the past few months. You are human…human’s go through rough times. Thank you for being real! I am sick of fake people who never have problems or go into hiding when they do.
•I AM SO JEALOUS I WANT TO CLAW YOUR EYES OUT.
Even with no eyes.
Well, no that would be creepy. I’d just feel sorry for you then.
Have a wonderful time. Please do not blog or tweet about it so that I may feel less evil while sitting at home packing. Kthanxbai
I couldnt read this post because I’m too jealous. But next year you will be sitting in our hotel room with me and telling me that it’s so annoying that I talk in my sleep. So there.
So, I’m new to the blog world…what is BLOGHER?

Blogher is an annual blogging conference
This year it’s being held in New York City.
are Nate and Harrison coming along? it’s supposed to be pretty nice next week I think, like mid 80′s.
Not sure if you’ve ever been to NYC before, but as a NY’er, it’s pretty cool.
Have fun!!! You’re an exceptional writer and I appreciate your candor. Keep being a bad ass BA
I think I’d have to go with bullets # 4 & 5 from above minus the eye clawing. I wasn’t here to watch you go through all your issues, but if I had, I probably would’ve appreciated knowing I wasn’t the only insane, out of her mind woman at the time!
Whoop! I’m truly excited for you! I’m hoping I’ll get to go next year!
Go to Buttercup Bake Shop and Crumbs for yummilicious cuppycakes. Both have a few locations around the City. You will thank me.
Yeah I fall under the jealous category. I was looking up Blogher swag and it looks pretty sweet and the fact that there are grownup parties for 3 days! Have fun and give us all the details when you get back!
I’m so excited for you but I don’t wish to claw your eyes out. I only wish that I could come to NYC and hang out with you! Seriously, I want to meet you. You are inspiring and I’d love to sit somewhere all dolled up in our fancy “non mom” party dress with shoes that are impractical but SO beautiful and drink some champagne!
Ahhh, have such an incredible wonderful fantastical time and please don’t forget any details when blogging about the experience!
Now I’m all blushy. Can’t wait to see you!
Please don’t take this all stalkery or anything, but I really hope to meet you next weekend!
Yay! Can’t wait for pictures:).
“I AM SO JEALOUS I WANT TO CLAW YOUR EYES OUT.”
‘Nuff said.
I don’t even have words. I’m so excited I am out of words to describe my excitement. I just keep screaming randomly.
Jealous! Have fun! We’ll have to meet for lunch again when you get back so I can read about all the fun times & tutu running & rubbing elbows with other awesome bloggers!
HOORAY! My hometown. Enjoy every blessed brick and get your pedi at a Dashing Diva!
I know this is totally off subject, but I was just on the bump reading about baby names, and oh my goodness… how many people pick out the grossest, more horribly spelled names ever?! I don’t get it. I know you know what I mean…. right?!
graceleigh? EFFING REALLY?
ok, end rant.
Are you ok? I get worried about you any time you go too long in between posts…
WOW…so jealous! But you deserve it…have fun!
Cannot wait to dork out with you up there! And drink champagne!! HOLLA.
