Packing, unpacking, and repacking. So far that is what my summer has been all about.
I am not complaining — don’t get me wrong. I have had some wonderful time with my family and now I am scrambling to get ready to head to BlogHer to hang out with so many fabulous fellow bloggers. So I am whistling while I work!
BUT, the packing, unpacking and repacking is not my favorite part.
Right now my living room features my half unpacked suitcases and piles of clothes and miscellaneous items that I need to repack for BlogHer.
And did I mention I just got in Sunday night at 1am? And did I mention that during a good chunk of July I have been without internet? Yes, to say that I am behind on emails and work is such an understatement, that I can’t even find a metaphor. Besides, I don’t have time to even begin to think of one… did I mention I have too much to do?!?
Truth is, the packing is the least of my worries at this point. I have posts to write and emails to answer… and I fly out on Wednesday. Yes — it is totally undoable.
At least some other folks out there are more organized than I am, and I will be using their tools to figure out when I am supposed to be where at BlogHer.
So if you too are scrambling to get ready for BlogHer, check out this party guide from Kirtsy and this unofficial BlogHer planner from One to One Network.
THANKS so much to our BlogHer sponsor Toshiba and to our video sponsor Kmart.
And, also thank you to my Mompreneur sponsors for Business BlogHer, Faith Baby and Nature’s Baby Organics. We really appreciate your support and we are honored to represent you!!!

Oh dearie me. I’m a tad envious that you’re going to Blogher but also slightly relieved that I don’t have to be organized enough to depart as it’s always such a headache.
Still, even if you only go with your purse you’ll be able to buy just about everything you need at the airport [if it's international]
So all you really need to pack would be a hefty credit card…….wouldn’t that be nice.
Cheers
Susan here… yes, just like Janice, I am not a fan of packing. But I am so excited for BlogHer!
I’m not making it to BlogHer this yr. Hopefully next yr.
Thanks for hosting today!

(A) I hope you have a fabulous time at BlogHer! I’m sorry that I’ll be missing you. I sincerely hope that we are able to “catch up” with each other at either Blissdom or the Mom 2.0 Summit.
(B) I was just looking at the picture of you again in this post and I thought to myself, “she has the most flawless skin – wrinkle-free and just gorgeous.” What’s your secret?
Not going this year. Feeling quite sad about it tonight. I hope to go next year.
