Well, Bloggy Boot Camp that is! I cannot believe that the day has finally arrived! I can’t wait to get on that plane tomorrow morning and head to Baltimore to finally meet some of you awesome blog ladies face to face! And don’t even get me started on finally meeting my bloggy sister. If we get along in real life half as good as we get along in the blog world, then the motherbitches of America better watch the hell out because we’ll be a force to be reckoned with!
I knew that I was going to try and squeeze a quick post in before I left somewhere in between packing and nursing the semi-out-of-character for me hangover that I woke up with today. Guess I got a little too excited last night because the 100th episode of Ghost Hunters was on and I decided that it warranted having just one more vodka. Thank GOD I did it last night instead of tonight, when I have to get on a plane the next day! Yeah, that would’ve been a total disaster. I’m feeling much better now after shoving a large order of fries from McDonald’s down my throat. Seriously, is there anything better than grease for a hangover?
When I was in college, I dated a pre-med student for a while, and one night he and I got totally schnockered and both woke up the next day feeling like shit run over twice. I headed straight for the drive-thru, and he fixed himself a bowl of fruit. Guess which one of us was back up and running in an hour and which one of us was still hunched over at ten o’clock that night? I rest my case.
Ok, back to Bloggy Boot Camp! I’m stealing the idea of writing a quick “getting to know you” post from some of the other ladies who are going to be attending this weekend. To everyone who I will meet in Baltimore, here is all you need to know about me until we see each other in person:
- I love my cocktails. And I drink according to temperature. If it’s warmer out, I prefer a nice citrus vodka with seltzer and a splash of cranberry, or a smooth Pinot Grigio if I’m in a wine mood. If it’s chilly, I’ll take a glass of red wine, please. (Maybe I wouldn’t have felt like ass this morning if I’d had wine instead of vodka. I really need to try and stick to my principles a little better).
- When you first see me, don’t be alarmed. Yes, they are real. And yes, they are fabulous. And yes, I’m wearing this awesome red gel push-up bra that I bought at Target a few weeks ago and it takes me from a barely A cup to a barely C cup. And no, they don’t normally look that perky. I can’t take any of the credit. It’s all the bra.
- I don’t get out all that much and I don’t get to go to places where I actually get to wear grown up clothes and shoes very often either. In celebration of my adult weekend, I will be wearing black heeled boots for the entire trip. I’ve had them forever and they really aren’t all that cool and they are only ankle boots and I know that tall boots are in right now and ankle boots are kind of out, but please bear with me because that’s all I have. And the toes are kind of scuffed up. And if the hubster gets home and doesn’t have any black shoe polish, then I’m leaving them scuffed up and not worrying about it. I figure that everyone will be too busy staring at my voluptuous breasts to notice anyway, so why waste my time polishing my shoes?
- I haven’t had an eyebrow wax in over a month. Nuff said.
- For the past couple of days, I’ve barely had any voice at all. Please don’t be afraid of me when I start talking, because I can assure you that I am totally germ-free. This happens to me a few times a year for no apparent reason, and this is just one of those times. I do sound kind of sexy though. Now that I think about it, my new husky voice compliments my boobs really well.
I am SO excited to say this…SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW!!!

I am picking up plenty of red wine for our time together…maybe I can put it in sippy cups and we can have a nice drink during the conference!? LOL!
Hey- Do tell the name of that bra – don’t keep that one a secret!!!
I can’t wait to meet you on Saturday! You are definitely my kind of mom. I’ll probably be drinking red wine because I am a cocktail snob. I like my cosmopolitans just right…top shelf vodka, contreau, with some flavor…not an overwhelming vodka taste. Although I might risk it if I get a good bartender.
(I’m also bringing red wine, fruit, cheese, and bread to snack on in my room. I take my vacation relaxation quite seriously.) And I’m dressing up every. single. day. In my heeled boots, and skirts.
I understand about the voice thing. I do the same thing. It hasn’t happened to me this year yet. I’m very overdue. Don’t worry about it–you’ll still be fabulous!
(Oh, and I’m wearing my Victoria’s Secret “Miracle.” It truly is. I told you I don’t shop at Target, lol!)
I know y’all are going to have a blast at bloggy bootcamp! Is there an open bar?
Enjoy yourself! I am so jealous. You will have a fabulous time!
Hilarious! If I weren’t nursing right now, I would be right there with you sporting the red gel push-up bra! Have a great time and drink a cocktail (or two) for me.
Yay I can’t wait!!!
I drink according to temperature is the best philosophy that I have EVER heard…I may have to steal it!
I gotta get me one of those bra’s!!!
Target you say?!? Hmmmmm… might have to stop there tomorrow!
Give Shell a HUGE hug from me! I miss her!
Be safe and have fun!
Love this post…can’t wait to meet you!!!
Have such a great time! I can’t wait to hear all about it! And, I have to admit I am a little jealous. Not only about Bloggy Boot Camp but, the bra (and boobs) too!!
It sounds like it’s going to be a great time! I’m want/need that bra so while you’re at bloggy bootcamp I will be on a mission at Target! lol Have fun and be safe!
Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday!
Have a great time and I want to see pics….!!
You had me at: “I love my cocktails.”
See you tomorrow!
I hope you have a fabulous time!!! I wish I could go! Maybe next time!!
I think I have that exact same bra on my body right now! It is the Bra of the Gods, handed down from Mount Olympus, I am certain of it. Hollywood is probably optioning a screen play about this bra right now, that’s what a star it is.
Have a great time! Maybe ill go next year!
I’m gonna miss it this year. Hopefully I can make it next year.
Off to Target to find me that red bra!
Have fun!
OK, bushy eyebrows and perky boobies. But if I go up to someone and say, “Oh, you must be Mary – I recognized you by your eyebrows and your boobs.” and it’s not you, I’m bettin’ I get thrown out!
Have a great time. Thanks for the great Friday laugh along post.
And yes, there is nothing better than those fries to make you feel better.
Have a fantastic time!
i think i bought that same bra at target – it is FABULOUS. (it makes me look like i actually sort of have bOObs! LOL!

Holy crap, woman…I am SO bummed that I’m not going and won’t get to meet you and a host of other fabulous women. *sigh* Maybe next year. Have SO MUCH FUN!!! You’re so funny on your blog, I can ONLY IMAGINE how much fun you would be in person!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot wait to hear all about it! I am waiting to buy my SF ticket until I hear about your story!
I cannot wait to read about it! I’ve loved the pics and the tweets!
Hope you had a BLAST honey!!
Oh–and McDonald’s is the hangover food of choice for me–yum. French fries and a Diet Coke please.
