The Plan - DC to Chicago
PRE ROAD TRIP
Oh Geez. The CBS crew just left here. If you get the Washington DC CBS affiliate you should be able to check us out on the 5 o'clock news.
They were only here for about 20 minutes total and the lovely Peggy Fox spent half of that time trying to distract my children so that the cameraman could get shots of us in the Tahoe.
I hope we don't sound as burnt as we feel. Between packing and organizing and doing interviews I'm still dealing with the day to day duties of being a stay at home mom. I guess what I am trying to say is that I don't feel like I did a good enough job explaining how important BlogHer is (the conference OR the website) and I really hope that we remembered to talk about this site.
Okay, what I am really here to say is that Devra and I have made a plan. I am going to pick her up at 4:00 am.
That's right. You heard me 4:00 am.
This means that I have to leave my house at about 3:40 am. This means I have to drag my sorry ass out of bed close to 3:15.
This also means that there is very little chance that I will be showering in the morning. You people are going to have to cut me some slack if I look like Helena Bonham-Carter in the morning. I don't mean in the good way either, I mean Bellatrix Lestrange/Marla from "Fight Club" Bonham-Carter.
Chicago ladies (and gentleman I suppose) keep an eye out for us. We should be at the Omni Lakeshore by 8:00 pm where we will be in very serious need of a drink. Come by and say hi.
We will be tired, but we will be there. Or square.
Sarah also freaks out for no reason on her personal blog Sarah and the Goon Squad, DC Metro Moms Blog, Draft Day Suit, BlogHer and Loser Moms.
All I have to say is I'm crazy jealous.
I WANNA GO!

I can't wait to see you, regardless of which incarnation of Helena you look like. There was this one period film she was in where at the end there was this sex scene where she looked like a zombie. It was extremely disturbing. I hope you look like her during that scene.

CBS?!? I didn't know to TIVO it and missed it! Hopefully there will be a link to your news story online. Safe travels to Chicago!
