Yeah, that’s my horn you’re hearing.

Essss-cuse me while I toot it. I’m going to have some of my content syndicated at Blogher in the next couple months (SQUEEE!) and today I have a post up over there – if you’re interested in showing me/my piece some love with a comment, you can see it by clicking: My Child Wouldn’t Nap: The Day I Learned Perspective. (You know you want to “show my piece some love.”)
Okay, I have to put my horn down for a little while now. It’s throwing me off while I do this here booty shakin’ dance.

These shots taken with my: Canon Powershot G9
And clearly I’ve been food obsessed this past week (PMS much?). No Blissdom photos in this post – too many to get through yet! I’ll show them off later. Hope you all had a fabulous week. I can’t wait to see your photos.

The existence of roasted garlic is proof that life is good.

Okay, okay. ONE photo from Blissdom. In keeping with the “Edible Things” theme…

I got this tiny bell in the HerStory Workshop today, at Blissdom. Isn’t it cute? Thanks to Aliza and Maya. The exercises they offered were thought provoking. And I discovered that the story of my life is entitled, “I haven’t screwed up too bad, yet. But give me time.” You’d buy it, right?
I also want to give giant props to the ladies who paneled the Writer’s Craft Workshop. I *thoroughly* enjoyed myself – what a great discussion. I had the beginnings of what I think is going to be a very good post in my hands when I walked out of that room Thursday evening. Thank you so much, Megan, Arianne, Deb, and Amber.
I’ll be heading back to the Opryland Hotel (can you say “friggin’ gorgeous?”) tomorrow morning and staying until Sunday (Weekly Winners may post late this week, but it will be up by Sunday sometime.) Thank you so much, Monica & Bridget, for letting me share your hotel room.
Gotta go pack a bag now and get a little sleep before I hurry back over there tomorrow to hug on some more beeshes.
I love seeing so many women that I think the world of in one place.
Every time I hear a squee, an angel gets her wings.
And then, all the other parents in the play area turned and gave me *that* look.

You know, the one that simultaneously says, “Oh, wow, that is kind of awesome” and “Ohhh, honey, I’m so sorry” as well as “I AM SO INSANELY HAPPY I’M NOT YOU RIGHT NOW THAT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME NOT DANCING A JIG AT THIS VERY MOMENT!”
(I mostly identify with thought #1.)
