Yipppeeeeee...I'm going to Blissdom!
And why, exactly, am I going to Blissdom? I don't have a fulltime job, I do have some air miles, it's in Nashville, I found a roomie—the fabulous Katy from Bird on the Street, I think that moms who blog about kids with special needs don't get their due in the blogosphere, I'm psyched to trade notes with other bloggers and maybe, just maybe, it would be nice to get away. Bonus: Harry Freakin' Connick Jr. is singing! Yum.
I am sure I will have all sorts of adventures; you might recall what a wild-and-crazy woman I was at BlogHer. I suspect, however, that Britney Spears will not be a part of my Blissdom experience.
I'm hoping to learn more at the conference about whether it is humanly possible to earn an income off blogging, given that I like to blog and I like to have an income. Ever noticed that Daily Juicebox widget on the side of the blog? That is my humble attempt at ad revenue. I have earned a whole $75 in, like, three months, which I will most definitely spend all in one place. Juicebox is starting to flash daily deals there, just so you know.
Do you guys have any particular questions that you'd like me to ask at Blissdom? Would you like me to have a drink for you? Or get an extra hour's sleep for you? Just let me know, your wish is my command. I will not, however, take up any dares to plant one on Harry Connick Jr. Even after I guzzle 247 cocktails on your behalf.

Have fun! Enjoy your free time! And sleep! And drinks! And all that jazz!
ReplyDeleteWell, that is just FANTASTIC!! You go on and have a drink for me, and find out about that "making money off blogging" stuff....I suppose I would have to be a bit more like you and Katy, and have some sort of a life to make that idea work, or do like that gal who cooked her way through Julia Child's cookbook...maybe I could do a blog on my best/worst customers of the day....? See, nothing much happens where I live, my life is just...boring. I'm content and all, but we pretty much do the same doggone thing every day. Oh, well!
ReplyDeleteSay "hey" to Harry Connick Jr for me--I like him and that Michael Bluble guy!
I love Katy's blog--she's the other one I rarely miss! I think you two will be a wonderfully dangerous combo...so live it up!
Don't forget to leave all your worries behind you when you go on this adventure--take some time for yourself and enjoy! Oh, and report back to us! Can't wait to hear all the details!
OMG, So jealous I wanna be a big bad blogger like you!! You ROCK!!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting excited!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very lucky! I have a full-time job and no air miles so no Blissdom for me. (I didn't even know about it until I read this post) If I did go, it'd be as much to see Harry Connick Jr as anything. Oh, and if you do find the secret to making blogging turn an income SHARE please! I've been looking for "someone" to pay me to stay home for a while now with no luck! lol
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! I would love to spend time with BOTH you AND Katy! I read both of your blogs religiously and think you would be great gals to hang out with.
ReplyDeleteMy one request - lots of girl talk and cosmos.
yay! 2 of my fave bloggers joining forces. Have fun !
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! Have a fabulous time. I'm jealous
ReplyDeleteWhen is Blissdom? Nashville isn't that far for me. I MIGHT just want to meet you ladies IRL. Hmmm
ReplyDeleteCOME! It's February 4 - 6. The more, the merrier!
ReplyDeleteSounds like major fun! I am fans of both you guys. You have both been very helpful to me personally. I hope you girls have a blast. I think Harry is fab too.
ReplyDeleteOh Ellen how FUN! I am jealous but excited that you are going to be there. Also, talk to me one of these days about how to make money blogging - my job for about 10 years has been internet and social media marketing ;-) Have a blast for all of us!
ReplyDeleteOoh ooh! A cosmo and some sleep sounds WONDERFUL :) And enjoy the time away!
ReplyDeleteThat is great!!!! Good for you and Katy!!
