Bloggers take San Diego Part 1

While I'm fighting one hell of a head cold after my return from my BlogHer, this doesn't change how much absolute fun I had over the three days with my blogger friends.

So much fun and so little sleep.

I was finally able to meet Jen and Rachael in person and reconnecting with a long lost friend from my table waiting days. Such perfect timing for meeting everyone in a beautiful city.

In case you weren't following my crazy foursquare checkins, I figured I'd share my trip via a few pictures from Day 1 and 2.

Finally here!

If you know anything about BlogHer, you know that brands go all out from lavish yacht parties to bringing in celebrity spokespeople -nothing is too extravagant at this event. I mean nothing! Well, as you know me, I'm not one to shy away from meeting a celebrity or three so I made sure to get in line and meet each of them. ( I somehow missed meeting Jane Lynch in a sexy track suit!)

With Giuliana - so beautiful and genuine in person

Who doesn't love a Bieber cut out? My friend Lia does!

Bob Harper - you have some sexy tattoos

Wendi from Reno 911 - I told her how many classes I skipped to watch the DVDs hung over

There you have it - a day and a half of attending sessions and meeting some celebrities at brand booths but my friends and I made sure to take advantage of the weather and beaches. More on that and my favorite booths in my next post.

the one poster kind

I find myself always having the same conversation with people when they find out I have a blog.

Random person who isn't a blogger: "You are a blogger?"
Me: Sort of afraid to answer, "Yes, yes I am."
Awkward silence.
Random person who still isn't a blogger: More awkward silence, then finally "I -i-i-i-don't have time for that."
Me: "Well, you know, it's just like any other hobby, you make time for it," realizing this person thinks I'm now a creepy person online.

I slowly back away from the random person because there's often this hint of "you-are-such-a-loser or I-can't-believe-I-know-a-blogger."

I'm bringing this up because I haven't been making time to blog as of the last three weeks. I've been a one poster a week blogger.

You know, those kind......

On my iPhone, I keep a list of ideas that are the starting of blog posts. Like the other morning when I was listening to Q104, they were talking about the top 10 things that annoy the other sex. I was nodding along to the list and found myself agreeing, "that totally drives me nuts" when the caller was talking about sharing a bathroom with their significant other. I get it!

But I've been working a lot these past two weeks tightening areas that are in dire need of being tightened, and I'm exhausted when I arrive home.

The creative juices just aren't a-flowing like they used to.

I'll get them back

I swear. I'll be back with some better thoughts.
