    The conversation went something like this: "My dress? I just remember bows. Everything had bows. Bows on the boobs, bows on the butt, bows around the bottom, clip-on bows for my shoes, bows in my hair ... " "Mine was short, and the entire bodice was made of stretchy black sequins." "Whoa. Black sequins? That sounds ... " I was sure my friend was going to tell me that my sequined dress sounded like a joke. But she surprised me. "... kind of AMAZING."  Read more >

    Let's face it: shopping for men is stupid. We want to get them something they'll love, something other than grilling tongs or cologne, and so every year we ask hopefully, "What would you like for Christmas?" And every year we hear the same, mumbled, "I dunno."  Read more >

  7. And They Never Had Sex Again: (Our Non-Existent) Sex Life After Baby

    Shortly after I learned I was pregnant, I went to a party where I ran into a first-time mom bouncing her infant in her lap. I asked her how things were going. She replied with a slightly manic expression and an air of triumph: "I made eggs today!" I didn't really understand. Eggs? Is having a baby really that hard? Certainly not. Certainly it would be different for me. Right? I simply couldn't fathom ever being so all-consumed by a baby as to be triumphant about eggs. Since my child was born in early July, I've had sex with my husband precisely twice.  Read more >

    Planning to attend BlogHer '09? Why not let everyone know? We've got the goods below -- our tried and true, BlogHer Badge Basics. But we're also looking for great ideas for new badges, too! As you may recall, last year we made a few less traditional, more fun buttons as well, including: "I'm breastfeeding at BlogHer '08" "I'm geeking out at BlogHer '08" "I'm drinking at BlogHer '08" "I'm wearing cute shoes at BlogHer '08"  Read more >

    One of the many things that makes BlogHer an amazing organization is that it -- they, we -- believe in what we're doing. We believe in The Blogosphere. We get why women are blogging in record numbers, and we aren't surprised in the least that blogs continue to change the way the whole world communicates.  This is an organization whose founders "walk the talk" every day.  Perfect example: I can't think of another organization that would actively encourage me to blog this.  Read more >

About Me: 

Perhaps we've met?  I was BlogHer's full-time conference planner from 2006 to 2009.  After a little more than two years (and six conferences), I reluctantly left like, the best company EVER -- Oh, and? San Francisco -- to pursue SAHM-ness in a house up in Napa.  I don't recognize my life, either.

Anything else you (n)ever wanted to know about me can be found at my personal blog, She Just Walks Around With It. I started it to chronicle my weight-loss endeavors in as funny a way as possible.  In the four+ years since its inception, the blog morphed to include *all* of the elements of my terribly inelegant, once-single-in-the-city lifestyle, from horrifying dates (like the time I sort of smooshed my boobs into a plate of mashed potatoes) and worse kisses (ewww), to my laughable attempts at knitting, and everything in between. (Um, even though I still haven't lost any weight. Whatever! La la la!) 

Now that I'm both married and pregnant...well...I'm reluctant to call myself a mommyblogger, but suspect the transition is inevitable. I am determined that this will not, however, curtail my discussion of men, booze, friends, boobs, the ocassional discussion or porn, or my wanton use of the eff word. :)
