Okay, I’ll shut up now about BlogHer. Maybe. Gosh, it’s so hard, though. All the parties, days without the kids, meeting my blogging idols, I mean, how am I going supposed to shut up?
I know you’re sick of hearing about it, and I’m sorry. I hope you still love me. I still love you.
I’m feeling very overwhelmed right now. Maybe it’s because I’m trying to get ready for you know what next week or maybe it’s because I always put too much on my plate. I’ve promised too many things to too many people and now my head is about to explode. Oh yeah, and I have kids to take care of on top of that.
I’m a people-pleaser, I’ll admit. I don’t like being on anyone’s bad side, so I avoid it like the plague. This is why I take on too much.
Is it a woman thing, mom thing, or an Amy thing?

Don’t shut up, I happen to like it.

Ha! You’re funny! I would love to go to BlogHer…maybe next year I’ll go with you.
I am not a people pleaser. I, on the other hand, suffer from the opposite disease. The disease where I say what I mean, don’t mince words, and am purposefully rude to people I don’t like so they won’t bother me and then regret it later and think, “Geez, Emily are you ever going to grow up?!”
Ok, and not to keep harping about Jon & Kate + 8 but his recent antics have made me want to print up a t-shirt that says, “TEAM KATE.”
Now it’s my turn to shut up.

Emily, don’t get me started on Jon & Kate… I almost did a post today on Jon. I agree, I would wear a “Team Kate” shirt, too. Honestly, he just looks silly smoking and hanging out with a 22 year old. I feel so bad for Kate, despite the issues I have with her. If I were Kate, I would be so hurt and embarrassed by Jon and his new weird lifestyle.
As far as pleasing people, I guess we all need balance. I need to say “no” more often. I don’t like to burn bridges with anyone, but sometimes it cannot be avoided.

If they were hosting the blogher in Texas, I might join you. Chicago is too far for me. ;-(
This time ten days from now you will have met all the deadlines, and peeps, had a blast and wish it were here all over again.
Hang tight; focus on today!
Happy Thursday!

i was totally planning on going to BlogHer for some awesome networking. and also to count all the bodies in the Chicago river with my bloggy bump Jenny who lives in Chicago.
but then i googled airflights and hotel and stuff and realized that i would have to sell myself for sex if that was ever gonna happen.
so i’ve regrettably let go of the dream.
for this year.
perhaps next year i will whore myself to get to where i want to be.

p.s. no, not really. i’m way full of morals.
p.p.s. honest. i even make sandwiches for homeless people.
p.p.p.s. okay, maybe that last part is a little over exaggerated…but i do smile at the homeless people when our paths cross and not look at them all snobby like.

Thank you all for being so supportive. I’m so ready to get on that plane and just have an awesome time!
