My BlogHer Shoes

Yes I was the woman who said she would never buy special shoes for BlogHer. I was the woman who teased TW for looking for the perfect BlogHer shoes for like a year. Yes I am the woman who has the BEST BlogHer shoes – Ever.

Since I’m trapped in an airport, with a delayed flight, and all of the CEs and speakers are about to start the party without me… you can have a sneak peek at my shoes. (You should click the photo. Seriously.)

Older than dirt

If you ask the little kids how old I am, they will immediately tell you I’m older than dirt. I’ve been telling them that since I first met them and they’ve embraced the idea completely. In fact they will happily talk about what being older than dirt means. But they don’t know the half of it.

Site redesigns are fun and interesting and challenging and rewarding but OMG they are exhausting. There was a time when I could stay up working (or playing) for 36 hours and not feel like I was falling apart. That time is long gone. And three hours of sleep after a 36 hour day is really not doing me a whole lot of good.

But. I’m pretty pleased with the way the new BlogHer looks and functions. There are resolutions in place for the majority of known problems and the other issues are sure to be resolved quickly because we have such an amazing team.

In the meantime, I’m tired. And BlogHerCon 07 is in umm 3 days?

I am so totally older than dirt.

The men were not inspiring (except for Cooper)

OK some thoughts from the debate tonight – you can see more of my scattered live blogging thoughts in the comments on BlogHer but I’m going to hit the low points here. Because boy did the guys have some low points.

What in the hell was that with the “bad touch” thing from Edwards. That was not the question dude. And then Obama followed right along where Edwards led him, that’s inexperience and nervousness but not a good sign in a presidential candidate.

And then Edwards staring at Hillary’s chest and pointing out her clothing. Can you say sexist behavior from the man his wife would like you to believe is the best candidate for women?

BlogHer at the CNN/youtube debate

I just got a message from Morra and she’s in a cab on the way to The Citadel. Darn Charlotte airport will get you when you least expect it.

Morra is hoping to live blog the event via Twitter since she’s in the main hall and doesn’t think she can liveblog from there. Watch it and blog it, and then go post the links in the Blogher discussion.

Update 6:19pm – she made it but she can’t blog from there so look for her to check in after the event. Now get those fingers ready to live blog it for her. She’ll have some interesting things to say when it’s all over and she will love seeing your live blogging thoughts.

Another update 6:44pm – looks like maybe she will be live blogging after all. I hope so.

7:30 – she’s <a href=http://blogher.org/node/22790>blogging</a>!

Do I sound different on the phone?

So I was in this conference call with a bunch of people tonight and one of those people was sassymonkey. Can I just say she sounds different on the phone than she does in real life. Luckily she has that Canadian tone to her voice, and she was talking about stuff that I knew immediately only SHE would think to bring up. That is probably the only reason I knew it was her! Weird.

Do I sound different on the phone? TW does and I’m sure people call her at work just to hear her phone voice.

10 seconds? Impossible!

blogme2007logo.JPG

This year’s brilliance from Kelly is a 10 second introduction. I hate these things. 10 seconds is either far too long or far too short, I’m not sure which. But I’ll play but I’m getting help from the children.

RJ (entering 6th grade!) thinks you should know that I am patient.

E (entering 4th grade!) jumped in with “evillllllll” which annoyed Prince J who obviously wanted to use this one himself.

Instead the good Prince (entering 8th grade, OMG how did that happen) said you should know I am cool. Heh. I’m sure he means evil in a cool way but E screwed that right up for him. (The three older children are off in their own worlds and unavailable for comment at this time.)

I suppose I should mention I’m a lesbian since that was apparently not obvious at the last BlogHer conference.

I will probably not sit still or stand still for long at the conference, nothing personal – I just like to talk to everyone and make sure I don’t miss anyone. I also hate seeing people sitting or standing alone so I will probably attempt to corral the loners and toss them into the loud and boisterous mommy groups or pair them up with other quiet types. If you’re feeling lonely, grab me and I’ll help. It’s what I do best.

Daily Dose of Cupcakes

zz320104l.jpgObviously today’s cupcake toppers must be Harry Potter themed. There’s nothing else happening in the world this weekend, is there? You can top your cupcakes with Bertie Botts Beans or the Golden Snitch cuff links pictured in this post (they are a bit expensive for a cupcake topper but your HP fans are worth it, aren’t they?)


There are mudblood buttons and Platform 9 3/4 buttons, and my favorite deatheater button. I could go on and on – the Cafe Press options alone could provide you with enough HP cupcake toppers for years.
