BlogHer 2006 – Almost as comfortable as getting an enema
So. The Alpha Mom interview. Sigh. Here’s the story: Leah Peah was asked by Alpha Mom to do interviews of various bloggers. How in the hell I got on the list, I’ll never know, but I was so excited when I got the email from her regarding it, I might have peed a little bit. I’m sure I called everyone I knew to say, “GUESS WHAT?! I’m being interviewed!” I’m kinda regretting that move now, because they’ll be expecting the link when... Read More
BlogHer 2006 – The Bastard Child of the Hyatt Family
Dude. Have you heard about the hotel we stayed in for BlogHer? Bah. Now – let me go on record saying two things: 1) I love Hyatt. I have never met a Hyatt I didn’t like.

BlogHer 2006 – My Traveling Nightmares Realized
I am still processing the insanity/inspiration/beauty/thrill that was my BlogHer 2006 experience. Until then? Why don’t I relay to you the awesome experience I had traveling across the country with and infant. And by awesome? I mean that I may need intense therapy before I’ll ever take a plane trip with NikkiZ again. FRIDAY: We got on the plane to Atlanta pretty easily. Between that and NikkiZ sleeping all the way to Atlanta, I was incubating a false sense of security... Read More
Still another quickie (Edited to add more randomness)
Eventually I’ll finish the long and meaningful post about Blogher and what it’s like to meet or be around women who have inspired me or moved me or simply changed my life with their writing. Until then? More of the minutia surrounding the event. The hotel was a little, um, used to say the least. And my room did not have a bathtub so I had to shower with NikkiZ and that was ROUGH since babies get so damn slippery when they’re soapy and wet. Some people are WAAAY... Read More
