The BlogHer Diaries: Penultimate Post

by Mel

I am going to write my wrap-up post tomorrow when I’m home; tell you all about the panel and the final people I met and all these other cool things that happened along the way. But I’m listening to Heather Armstrong and Stephanie Klein right now. So my attention is split. So…in order to discuss the incredible Alice in Wonderland quality to BlogHer and do it justice, I’m going to wait to write words and instead present you with pictures.

OH! And before I forget, I am going to post the Show and Tell thread tomorrow once I’m home. So…post tonight if you want to get it up, but make sure I know tomorrow so I can add you.

But here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

This one was pretty emotional. Bleu drove up with Bliss for an hour of hanging out before the panel. And it broke my heart that the time was so short, but it was pure love to be in her presence.

The panel chickies: Pamela, Lori, Monica, and me. Look how short I am next to them. I’m like their child. And I’m wearing three-inch heels. I truly am the height of the average ten-year-old.

Monica, the Creole Princess, (oh…and me) after the panel.

Until tomorrow and my 1000 thoughts about BlogHer ’08

A little off topic, but I love the skirt you’re wearing in the pictures.

Looking forward to your ultimate post.

I can’t wait to hear all about it!

You know, I really don’t think the word “penultimate” is used as often as it should be. I’ll have to make more of an effort.

You are waaay too cute Lollie. Super cute and super cute short too. They are all very lucky to have met you. Funny thing though, I pictured you completely different than you are for some reason? Anyway you are adorable girl! Can’t wait to hear about BlogHer some more.

I attended the infertility… session at the conference and wanted to let you know I appreciated it. Even as I write about my own efforts, I don’t know many (in person) people who have or are going through it, so it was comforting to be in that room. Thanks!
