Flippin’ A, I’m Going to Blissdom!
AHHHH!!! Tomorrow I’m going to Blissdom ’09! Some of you are already there. I am SO excited. Sarah’s driving in to my place tonight and we’re having a proper slumber party (pillow fights and all) and then we’re flying to Nashville tomorrow morning to attend one of this years hottest events!
I am scared to death. I’ve gained a wee bit ‘o popularity in this bloggy world, and for that I’m grateful but what if everyone already knows each other and doesn’t want to socialize with me? What if I totally pull a Me and party like a rock star and offend my roomies that I really don’t know?
Oh, well. Yeah. I actually know that’s going to happen, so I guess that should have been more a disclaimer than a question of worry.
I still haven’t packed, I need to go grocery shopping (TRIPLE coupon weekend at Harris Teeter, I’m about to rob ‘em blind) and my house is not up to my guest standards so I need to get scrubbin’.
Who’s going? What are you wearing? Everything I have is either too big because I bought it when I was heavier or too clubby because the only time I really go out is on the occasional Friday (or Tuesday) night Karaoke run with my friends, so I have my hot tight jeans and boob shirts.
I’m going to have to go read Sarah’s Blog, she did a Vlog about what she’s bringing. I’m guessing some dressier clothes so I don’t feel so out of place with the sassier, classier Bloggers going. I’m fairly positive I’m going to get a few cocktails (AKA Mich Ultra and Lemon Drops) in me and rile up some chickies to go bar hopping with me.
Rumor has it there’ll be Karaoke there so I may not even have to leave the hotel! Part of me hopes everyone is too scared to sing so I can hog the mic all night. I’m by no means good (I vlogged myself singing HERE) but I love being the center of attention and I adore singing.
Here are my questions for all of you (going or not)-
- What should I pack?
- What should I sing?
I’m going to start cleaning this house and get some shopping done and then I’ll be checking back to see what you think. If you’re going to Blissdom and you see me, I implore you to run straight at me and hug me without warning. No words, just grab me and declare your love for me. I have anxiety issues and assume everyone hates me, so it’ll really help.
WOO! BLISSDOM! TWO FULL DAYS WITHOUT CHILDREN! AHHHH!!!!

Let me be the first to say I’m a touch nervous too…with this being my first of this kind of event. Sadly, I don’t know what I’m wearing, because I haven’t packed yet, but plan to do a little shopping between now and when I leave in the morning. I’ve heard some say jeans, dressy jeans, slacks….ahhhh….I don’t know! Looking forward to meeting you!

@ExtraordinaryMommy, Yeah. I’m bringing jeans and some shirts that range from modest (well, as modest as i can get) to rock star. I haven’t packed a single thing and it’s my first event, too. Just remember-grab me and tell me you love me. Ha.
Heh, I think you should bring your pink boa and tassels. Wait, that’s totally the wrong venue….
Have fun!

Um, does it count if I just grabbed you and declared my love for you through cyberspace?
You have, like Woody Allen, made neuroses into a hilarious art form!
Have a fabulous time at Blissdom…I know you will!!

I’m not sure what you should wear, but I definitely think you should belt out ‘r-e-s-p-e-c-t’ : )

[...] what you are wearing. I’ve heard everything: jeans, fancy jeans, rock star shirts (thanks Cool Mom’s Guide) sweaters, khakis, slacks, skirts, cocktail dresses and PJ’s…so, you know what? [...]
Oh, I wish I were going! I would totally party like a rock star with you!
You don’t want me to suggest what to pack…I’m a chronic ‘over-packer’ whenever I go anywhere…(grin!!)

lol! I wish I were going just to meet YOU.
Pack: your ‘go-to’ clothes (hawt pair of jeans, crisp white shirt, killer boots, sparkly party shirt)
Sing: “I will survive” or “It’s raining men”.
Have fun!
