10 Things I’m Learning About Myself at Blogher ’09

1. I am not as social as I once was. In fact I am kind of a lame ass. 5 years ago this crazy widow would be the headliner of every social event in town. Today not so much. A bed, a book, and a bath is my idea of a kick ass night.
2. The above being said, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made at BlogHer ’09 appear to be ones that may last a very long time. Miss Britt, Mr. Lady, Busy Dad, and Mommy is Moody…I heart you a million.
3. I do not drink nearly as much as I used to. Not even remotely close. I am SO super lameo. However, being hungover and listening to people talk about the interwebs sucks ass.
4. I am madly in love with my children & the Chef and I desperately miss them. To the point of serious depression.
5. I really really really love to hang out with myself alone. Some of the best time this weekend had been with me & only me. And I am pretty awesome… so you know I’m having fun.
6. I am madly in love with Chicago. I can so see us living here. Or opening a restaurant here. Near future….?
7. I don’t give a shit about swag.
8. I do give a shit about all of the awesome intelligent informative educating and funny BlogHer sessions & speakers.
9. I think daddy (and dude) bloggers are too cool for school.
10. Top 10 lists are fucking awesome.

Glad to hear you are discovering the amazingness that Chicago has to offer but sorry, I think you guys need to stay here (at least for a good while)
No worries, it’s an easy car trip away; close enough for long weekends.
Also glad you are getting and enjoying alone time. It’s a pleasure and a gift to be able to enjoy yourself and to get to experience things on one’s own.
Know what? Some of my most favorite moments were just hanging out by myself in front of the water and just meeting people as they floated on by, like the boats behind us. That’s how you and I bumped into each other and it was awesome! I’m in theory all about the parties and raucous times and all, but that chill time by the river, when you could just really talk and get to know people was the best.
I hope your boy is feeling better!
I heart you a million plus one. TOP THAT, SUCKA.
