If you're attending BlogHer, you're well aware of all the things available to go to.  It's CRAZY.  I've been to BlogHer twice before this and this is by far the most overwhelming one yet. It's such a huge difference from my first one in 2006 where we smoked cigarettes and talked late into the night in a small group.

Thursday night I have speaker training (OMG I'M SPEAKING, LIKE IN FRONT OF PEOPLE), then I'm to meet up with fellow Carpoolers.  After that Sam and I are attending the SVMoms Party, then People's Party, then the Room 704 party!

I cannot wait to see my friends!

Friday morning I will be up at the buttcrack of dawn to run in a 5K I haven't been training for.  The anxiety I'm feeling over that is HUGE.  I've been off the treadmill for a month.  Eep!

Then I speak in front of PEOPLE.  Day One of the conference will be a sea of familiar faces, and hopefully I get to see everyone I want to see.  Small details like having mascara and a razor packed are swimming through my head and I'm stressed about crossing the border because the last time Sam and I embarked on a roadtrip the border guard was super-mean.

Friday and Saturday nights are packed with parties and all I can think of is not peeing in my Spanx.  It's an Olympic event to get into those suckers.

Between remembering what to pack, where to be and how to get there, there's one thing that has me absolutely relaxed and happy: Chevy and BlogHer have teamed together to loan Sam and I a brand new 2010 Chevy Equinox.

Sam may be thrilled to be singing incorrect lyrics to songs of days gone by,but I'm just happy to know we're in a safe reliable vehicle with OnStar and each other.

As a worrywart Mom, it's truly Paradise by the Dashboard Light for me.  And we're leaving so dang early in the morning, we will need those dashboard lights!
