BlogHer

BlogHer approaches. I'm pretty excited about it on a lot of levels.

First off, I get some time away from home. I'm not much affected by wanderlust. I like being home, in my space, with my things. Sleeping in a strange bed gives me the shudders. I know, I know, country mouse and all that. But the idea of three days away is lovely right now. Sleeping past 6 am, not having to feed or clean up after anyone but myself, it just sounds like Nirvana.

Then, there's the added bonus of going to a city I love, San Francisco. I don't get there very often. I've only been two or three times in the last four years. It's only two hours away and yet I know virtually nothing about it. This would be so different if Mr. Clairol and I were childless. Someday, I'll know 'Frisco as well as I know my own home.

I'm also excited about the conference. It's going to be wonderful meeting other bloggers and hearing Heather Anderson speak. I think Jenny and I will have to figure out a way to sneak in some booze, so we can take a shot every time she curses. That would be awesome.

Finally, there the thrill of seeing Jenny again. We haven't seen each other for years. In our entire, long friendship, this is the longest we've ever gone without seeing each other and while I'd love it if our families could be together, I'm so excited to see my friend. It will be a blast to explore the conference with her. She introduced me to blogging years ago, infecting me with this mad computer disease that has taken over my life.

So I'm counting down the days to BlogHer '08. Who else is going?
