I'm back from BlogHer and like all the other blogalicious ladies who attended the conference, there's so many stories to share. From the incompetent taxi drivers who had no clue where they were going to seeing Lisa Ling at the W Hotel twice. And then there's the actual conference. Where to begin and where to end?
I can't do it all tonight, I'm just too tired. So I'll share one of my highlights: Meeting Elizabeth Edwards again. It's too easy to say she's amazing. She said she recognized me from the round table discussion she had with the SV Moms bloggers, which immediately made me giddy. But it's truly an honor to see her speak and this time, to have a photo snapped with her (Thanks, Dory).
As for the rest of the trip, I missed my boys (all three of them). The smiles on their faces when they saw me at the airport was just something I wish I could package up and carry with me every single day. Pure love and excitement. Five gave me the tightest hug. And when I looked at Q., it was one of the first times I really noticed how much he looks like me. It was so strange to see my face as a wee one. It's something that only happens when you are away from your kids for a few days, and you come back and discover how much they've changed in such a short time. But you know this already, I'm sure.
I'm also having Luna withdrawl. I'm counting the days until my puppy comes home. And she won't be so little, I'm sure. She's growing at a rate of five pounds per week. If my calculations are correct, she will come home weighing close to 45 pounds...and she's only four and a half months old. But dammit, she'll have manners now (in theory).
The upcoming week looks to be hectic on the home, work and personal front. And I received some sage advice from Jessica Ashley at BlogHer and I'm taking it to heart by doing a little opening of my hands to release some things causing me strife...and hopefully leaving them empty to welcome new goodness.
I'm so happy to be home (although I would have loved to bring a W Hotel bed with me).
