It is killing me to not attend the BlogHer conference this week/weekend, especially when so many of FM’s authors will be in attendance. I’ve been reading along as so many of the women bloggers I read talked of packing, and of the excitement, and of their expectations of meeting like minds.
Alas, my 20th high school reunion is this weekend… in Texas. And two of my best friends from high school and college days — who weren’t particularly the organizer/joiner types back in the day — are putting on the party. Meanwhile, another good friend is flying in from Austria. How could I possibly stay home, not to mention deprive my aunt and uncle of the joys of babysitting my son while I attend the reunion festivities? Plus, I gotta show off the boy at the family portion of the reunion weekend (hubby is in NYC on business so he’ll miss it).
It’s terrible timing, but thankfully one of those things that only happens every 20 years. Next year, BlogHer. Count on it.
