Saturday, I managed to wake up in time for breakfast and went to the opening session, which included a cooking demo using all Wal-Mart ingredients. Helpful, sure, but it’s all Wal-Mart all the time at my house and sometimes I can use a break from the endless parade of Great Value products (Dana commented on [...]
This title was an attempt at some clever adaptation of Superfans.
Get it? Da Bears? Da Blawggers? Chicago?
Anyway. I went to Chicago! I went to BlogHer! It was grand!
I arrived Thursday and met up with Tracey and Dana at the hotel. I had had a gin and tonic on the plane, despite the scandalized glances of [...]
Last year, Sarah and Devra took part in a Mom Road Trip on their way to BlogHer. They’re doing it again this year and are stopping in Pittsburgh. They’ll be in town on Sunday and we’re having a little get-together with them.
I traipsed around Las Vegas with Sarah (and pressured her into buying a cute [...]
Just a quick heads up that I switched back to partial feeds because of some weirdness that I don’t feel like going into. Nothing serious, I just feel more comfortable with this arrangement.

Still more rough days trying to get through this semester. Yeah, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, but there’s some old lawn furniture and a bear and some marbles and a field of sharpened bamboo between here and there.
But obviously, what I have to go through in the next few weeks is nothing [...]
It doesn’t even matter that I didn’t know Heather or Mike at all, not through blogs or Twitter or anything. All that matters is that they lost their daughter. And there are no words that can convey how sad that is.

I especially love how everyone is so amused at the camera’s presence and the men who raise their hats and chuckle.
Something about it reminds me of this:

Posting is still slow around these parts, I know. I’ve been working my dupa off this semester, this past week in particular, and had a mini-meltdown Wednesday morning. Just one of those, “I…just…don’t want to do all of this anymore! Hwwheeee!” kind of crying episodes that I have at least once a semester. I met [...]
