Quoted in the NY Times as “The Admirer”

I just got home last night from my week-long training for my new job with GreatAupair.com. Eric and I have been sitting around looking at photos from my trip to BlogHer and Albuquerque when we started perusing Twitter a bit. Guy Kawasaki “Tweeted” the URL to this NY Times post about BlogHer. I just read through it and realized that I was quoted. Ha! I remember the exact moment this took place and I had no idea that Kristen Dimont, Mod*Mom, was speaking to a journalist for the NY Times. Basically, what you read here (taken from the NY Times) is exactly what was said:

“I’m kind of famous,” said Kristen Dimont, whose design and parenting blog is called Mod Mom, during a break between panels on the first morning.

As if on cue, she was stopped by a woman toting a swag bag, who revealed herself as a blogger for Mums the Wurd, a product blog for parents. “You’re Mod Mom,” the admirer said. “I’ve been following you forever.”

I was that woman, toting the swag bag, revealing myself as Amy from MumsTheWurd. I was walking down the stairs from the second floor to the Mezzanine to a session at BlogHer last weekend when I saw Kristen in passing. Without thinking, I grabbed her and said exactly what you see above. Now, I didn’t catch what she was saying before I stopped her but I kind of figured it out after she responded, “See?” to the woman regarding my comment. I guess you just never know when the media will be hanging around and catch you stalking one of your favorite bloggers.mod*mom

Ahhh, that’s alright…I love you, Kristen! You are still totally my fav and it was fantastic hanging out with you at Macy’s. =)

  1. you are so funny amy! it was great hanging with you + mj
    that was a big coincidence you saw my name tag + said hi right when i was talking to her! i thought i told her my blog is kinda famous. i was getting carried away. i am normally very private + overly protective of my identity, but it was the 3rd day of blogher, since the parties started the night before, i was so relaxed + having a great time meeting fellow bloggers + readers of my blog, + saying who i was in person, but i’m still too protective to show my picture on my blog. i like to be anonymous to protect my daughter.

  2. Oh that is too funny! Awesome!
