I’m going to the BlogHer conference! ....Unless I chicken out.

In February, when I did my early-bird registration, it seemed like I had plenty of time to seduce a new online BFF to hang out with me in New York in August. Some hilariously witty female blogger who has struggled with weight and badly juggled her career and family for years.  Maybe we would drink wine in her hotel room and talk about everyone else at the conference, mercilessly making fun of their frizzy hair and ugly shoes.  If we drank enough wine,  I might talk her into walking to Times Square with me at 2AM to buy a $12.00 pack of cigarettes and make her split one with me.  Then she would make me throw the rest of the pack away.  I’d be shocked at the thought and instead I’d give them to a bum who swears he loves Virginia Slims.  We would text each other all through the conference sessions feigning boredom and then confessing later that really we were mesmerized by the presenters.

It was going to be fabulous!

Well, it’s now mid-July and I haven’t seduced anyone at all.

People — the conference is THREE WEEKS away!  Still time to chicken out.  Can I sell my ticket?  Should I just take the loss?

What the hell was I thinking??

READ THE REST HERE....

I totally did drop off the earth regarding being a chatter-er.

That silly job - the one that pays the stupid bills - sort of took over my life for a bit. I haven't twittered much and I've not even minded my own blog that well.

I hate it when my life gets in the way of my social online networking! LOL

Will you wear a pink feather boa and a red rose in your teeth so that I can easily recognize you?

What if you're busy with other better friends - ones who don't have frizzy hair and ugly shoes like me?? What THEN?

You know what I think I'm going to do - I'm going to Costco to buy a big thing of disposable hand towels and then if I get too anxious and I need a JOB to do, I can just go work the rest room giving towels to people.

I'd give them each a squirt of my perfume too, but since I can only bring 3 ounces of it on the plane, I may not have enough.

And if I earn tips, EVEN BETTER! It's win-win-win!!

You know people. You know us! And even if you didn't know people you will still meet a gazillion other women and make friends.

No chickening out allowed!

No chickens! We're all in this together.

But please don't make fun of my frizzy hair. It's August. In NYC. It's going to be HUGETASTIC. *weeps*

Seriously. Remember your friends in Chatter? We don't care if you disappeared for months and ignored us. We are just happy to have you back and happy to be your BFFs at BlogHer 10.
