So, for days now. Oh, alright…for like TWO WEEKS now, I’ve been trying to recapture the whirlwind of a weekend that was a hot bloggy mess in San Francisco. Because it may be another years or so before I actually sit down and WRITE about BlogHer ’08, I’m just going to bullet point my memories here.
- Stephanie and her celery
- Sharing a moment. Feeling Ivy move and kick. Longing for that feeling again (my own).
- Eating Thai at midnight, giggling and taking camera phone pics with MJ, Steph and Arianne.
- The lady with the nylons over her pants at Walgreens. That was wack.
- The begger who posed as a statue on the street. Freaked me out every single time I passed him.
- Tripping into the elevator and falling into “Laid Off Dad” and knocking his drink all over him. Yeah, hi there. That was me.
- Locking myself out of our room. D’oh!
- Having a sleep-over at MJ’s and coming back to my room at 6am – feeling like I was in trouble when Steph answered the door.
- Hanging out with Allison, Mary and the Creole Princess – that girl is HEE-LARRY-US! She totally hated me at first. ; )
- Meeting the owners of GreatAupair.com (my company) and Karrine (my co-worker) and having a four hour dinner at the Four Seasons
- Karrine and I going back to the Westin and an old Irish guy trying to convince us to have a drink with him…then, Kay informing him that there are 1,000 women at our hotel. What was she thinking?
- Hanging out with Natalie and Amy (BSM) in the MomSelect Swag Suite.
- Makeovers at Saks – my make-up artist’s total sassy attitude and her trying to get me to purchase a $225 bottle of Mr. Georgio’s moisturizer. I loved her sass.
- The Alltop/Kirtsy party at Guy’s house; partying with new peeps, meeting Guy, seeing Gabrielle again.
- The mashed potato cup at the Alltop/Kirtsy party
- Guy’s sweet pimp hat (which is now in my possession…more on that soon)
- Seeing Dooce in person and asking her a question. Even though I was sweating bullets.
- The gorgeous Jory De Jardins. Seriously. The woman is beautiful. (Hi, Jory!) : )
- Seeing Christine again! Mwwwa!
- Seeing other peeps who also attended the J&J event
- Peeing my pants laughing at photos of Arianne, Steph and I
- Macy’s Cocktail party and hanging with Mod*Mom
- Winning Alexis Neely’s gift basket at the MomSelect Swag Suite!
THINGS I DIDN’T GET TO DO IN SAN FRANCISCO:
- See the Golden Gate Bridge
- Go to the Fisherman’s Warf
- Go to Sausilito
- Shop! Sad panda. =(
- Missing lunch with Rocco DiSpirito
- Missing the Alphamom CheeseburgHer party across the hall from my room
- Not taking videos of ANYTHING over the weekend. D’OH!
- Not meeting Dooce in person

We did make some great memories… and I’m sorry I missed out on some of those secrets but having the room all to myself and sleeping was divine! : )
I must thank you SO much for letting me use your laptop. So glad you weren’t needing it every morning at 5 am when I was up!
Steph
Mwwwa, back at ya, babe! My only regret was that I didn’t spend much time with you…. Booo!
Oh man so fun. I miss your smiling face and laughing hysterically at basically nothing. I think MJ needs to come over and make us blush again…
Oh Amy, it sounds so fantastic. What wonderful memories to share with your blogging buddies!
