I'm pretty sure I'll be

mommywantsvodka January 28, 2010 - 12:41pm

I'm pretty sure I'll be there with bells on. Real or proverbial, you'll have to wait and see! (that was DRAMATIC FORESHADOWING)

 

I'll go only if I can throw popcorn at Becky

I'll go- but I want a FRONT ROW SEAT!!!

 

I think I clicked the wrong

vodkamom January 29, 2010 - 6:19pm

I think I clicked the wrong thing, but I would of COURSE attend. These women are classy, honest and lovely women.  They are well worth the time- and deserve a spot!!

 

Wow...traffic, and money!

napwarden January 29, 2010 - 7:18pm

thebitchinwife January 31, 2010 - 1:41pm

But only because I could really use some help figuring out how to get my husband to load the dishwasher correctly.  Hope you guys have some solid, true to life advice for me!

sensitivity and humor

linlah January 31, 2010 - 3:56pm

I could use some help with my sensitivity and this is just the group to get me there.

 

Count me in!

I wouldn't miss it!!

/sigh

PottyMouthMommy February 7, 2010 - 9:15am

I would totally be there with bells on except for that fact that I'll have only just had a crotch parasite scramble its way forth from my loins- which would just not make for a good time. It would go something like this-  Newborn + HUGE conference in a city that I would need a passport to get to, and have never been to before, and would be the largest city I've ever been to in my life = me in the airport bathroom hyperventilating for the entire conference. See- not so all the fun!!

Hope everyone else enjoys- I'll live vicariously through the rest of you and stalk your pictures and video and blog posts about it!! 

 

 

*Screaming* I Would So Be There!

insolentbitch February 7, 2010 - 10:08pm

If I can find a way to hitch hike from the West Coast to New York I will so be there. Okay, wait, that seems like a bad idea maybe... I mean, there's so many weirdos and bad people out there. So, scratch the hitchiking. Instead, I will find a way to scam old women out of money so I can purchase airfare. Yes, much better plan. You can never be too safe.

I hope to see you there.

Love, The InsolentBitch
