I’m alive!  I survived!  I made it out of San Francisco yesterday and am sitting at the kitchen table at Grandmaother’s.  Zach and I are about to pack up and head home, but first we’re stopping to by see his Great Grandma Ann. 

So, you’re going to have to wait a bit longer to hear about my wild and crazy time at BlogHer ‘08.  Some of my mis-adventures include, but are NOT limited to:

• Setting my hair on fire
• Winning a laptop
• Being called a “dirty whore bitch” (or something of the sort) by a homeless man
• Ingesting copious amounts of alcohol
• Laughing so hard that I almost wet myself (courtesy of Moosh in Indy)
• Meeting so many amazing women (and man, or should I say “couple” because OMG, I LOVE his wife too.) that I can’t even BEGIN to figure out how I’m going to tell you about them all.  All I can say is that I’m going to be doing a whole bunch of linking. 
• Committing Zach to an arranged marriage.  I know that’s not technically the “thing” to do here, but I just couldn’t resist. 

I’ll leave you with that.  And until I can sit down and start writing about it, you’re just going to have to head over to AllMediocre and try to win some free stuff.  We’ve got some good shit to give away ALL WEEK LONG, so don’t miss out!   

Can you guess where I am? First person to guess correctly will win a cheap, touristy trinket from my trip. And if I’ve already told you where I am, you’re automatically disqualified. But maybe I’ll buy you something pretty cause that’s not really fair, now is it?

And I’d like to send a shout out to Priceline for their awesome assistance at scoring me a 4 star hotel room for $99.00 a night. You rock. That’s right. $99.00 a night. And no, it’s not a classy H(o)(o)ters.

Happy guessing! Good luck!

(And if you’re some schmoe who is going to try to find my house and rob it while I’m out of town, good luck with that. Your bail will definitely cost more than what you could possibly steal would be worth. Plus, B the attack kitty is at home. Sharpening her claws.)

Niki, comment #27! Congratulations, Niki! I’ll be sending bracelet #6 to you ASAP! That one’s also my favorite, so you must have GREAT taste! And you have Ice Castles listed as your favorite movie…that’s just AWESOME. Love it!

I’ll also be participating in the next round of the Bloggy Giveaways in July! So if you didn’t win this go round, you’ll have another opportunity coming up! Thanks for playing!

Dude. If you haven’t checked out the Bloggy Giveaways site, get your cute little tushie over there, pronto, and enter a few drawings. Gems, I tell ya. Gems.

There’s something for everyone. In fact, it’s more like there’s somethingS for everyone. If I had more time and less guilt, I’d have entered about 435 of the 866 that are currently listed. Sadly, due to the guilt, and the fact that I’m responsible for the health and well being of two little boys and one marriage, I can’t spend my day posting comments and entering giveaways. Don’t Cry For Me, Bloggies, I’ll be okay. I’ve managed to enter a few. And, really, there are only so many free kids Yogurt coupons or Custom Fruit Roll-Ups a girl can use, ya know?

Anyhoo, there’s lots to be found…jewelry, gift cards, clothes, shoes, vacuum cleaners, toaster ovens, books, baby loot, candles and beauty products are some of the non-edible goodies to be tempted by. AWESOME. Right? I know. You’re welcome.

On to other adventures. Or mis-adventures, as the case may be. I’m officially Twitter’d. Don’t worry, mom, it means nothing to you. And it doesn’t mean anything bad.

Zach continues the army crawl. It’s thoroughly entertaining to watch and a little painful. It takes MOUNTAINS of effort to move a foot, but by golly he does it. And he’s tickled pink by it, too.

This totally cracked me up.

If I eat bell pepper slices w/Lite Sour Cream Ranch Dip & a Lean Cuisine for lunch is the good negated by the fact that I have a smallish plate of nachos as a snack later? Don’t answer that. And don’t get on me about the amount of sodium in the Lean Cuisine. What-Ev.

Have you ever asked a question about something and then been roped/duped/snookered into being a major player in it? As is…when’s the next Bingo night? And the response is “OMG, I’ve totally been thinking about that and I think we should have it here, spend this, get this and we can split the cost….sound good?” Uh…No. I need to buy diapers and FOOD for my FAMILY. And I don’t play bingo. Was that cryptic enough? Thought so.

I started to crochet Zach another blanket. At the rate I’m going I’ll be done with it by the time he’s 12. JUST when a boy needs a soft blanket his mommy made him, no?

You would think Blogger spell check would recognize “OMG” as a word by now.

I suppose I should go do something productive now. Does watching Tyler Florence count? MMmmmm…
