It's been a busy week of recovering from my latest ailment (because that is what I do). I have a lot going down and some very fun news I'll divulge next week once it's confirmed. It involves Twilight. In fact, I'm declaring next week Twilight Week. Who's in? If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, there is still time to come over to The Dark Side!
BlogHer or Bust
As many of you know, I have attended BlogHer the last two years--the biggest, baddest blogging convention around for women. This year, I got wait-listed. Because that is what I do. And then I get sick.
I just heard back that I'm *in* if I want to be. Problem is I'm not sure if I want to go. I may have missed the boat on getting a roommate who does not get sick as often as she blows her nose. Oh wait, that would be me and I am the bestestestest roommate around. Just ask Jamie. The guy who sometimes sleeps on the couch. I'm curious if you know of anyone who got added at the last minute to the BlogHer roster or someone who is looking for a
A 'Lil Thing Called Lice
Today, I will be checking out the reputable Indulgences Day Spa for a Mile High Mamas feature. If you will recall, my last spa visit elsewhere resulted in this catastrophe. I have high hopes I will not acquire H1N1. Because acquiring infectious diseases in the most unlikely places is what I do.
P.S. Any potential BlogHer roommates? Please disregard the last paragraph. I swear I am disease-free. For now.
Bully or Bust
We are also in the throes of party-planning for Haddie's big bash on Monday. As we were discussing her invite list, conversation turned to a kid who can sometimes be a bully. I am also good friends with his mother, which means Said Bully will be in attendance.
Hadley gets along fine with Said Bully but her friend Alex does not. When she asked if he would be invited, I responded affirmatively. Alex started to protest but my dear Hubby, ever the diplomat, stepped in:
"Don't worry, Alex. He's mean but fair. He beats on everybody equally."

Loved this post, a bit too anti-social to do blog her (not that they would let me in after I quit on them because i didn't like the ads!)
Speaking of Bully's make sure you check out my post tomorrow - helping a local author spread his message on Anti-bullying, spread his name across the country and get a few giggles along the way!
Oh and yeah, you can still keep the bugs on your end of town!
Good to hear you're feeling better. I hope you get to BlogHer - I'm sure you will come out with some good stories!
Good luck finding a roommate. I'd so be your roomie if I even was going. although you'd have to have your own bed.
Hope your spa visit is nicer this time.
Well, as long as he beats on everybody equally.
Glad you are feeling better.
Good luck on the roomate situation and hey, someone thinks you're pretty!
HA HA HA!! I love the bully comment!!! HILARIOUS!
I have a special place in my heart for child bullys. I just love them!
Wish I was going to BlogHer and could be your roommate! I promise I never was diagnosed with anthrax or anything. For real.
I'm certain you'll find someone wonderful to room with at BlogHer. Good luck!
Glad to hear that the bullies in Colorado are fair. Not sure they are around here...
It's funny you mention the spa thing because I have been seriously considering booking another spa day for myself because I am so due for one.
Well, as long as he's a equal opportunity bully then I don't see the problem..LOL
I hope you find someone to infect, I mean room with at Blogher.
Trying to get more people sucked into Twilight? Is there anyone left who hasn't taken the plunge?
Good luck on the roomie & bully. One of my friends has a little bully son. I hate to admit it, but he plowed me down at Lexi's party. I would have written about it, but she reads my blog.
Glad you are feeling better... Love the comment about the bully.
You had me at Twilight Week. I'm so in, baby!
I just watched the movie last weekend. I LOVE Edward. I think I need to get out more because I'm becoming obsessed. Call me Bella.
(And she better write another book - I don't want it to end! It's too soon . . .)
Oh, yay for Twilight Week and YAY that you're going to BlogHer, too!
BOO on bullies, forever and ever, amen.
Twilight week--definitely in for that.
Good luck finding a roommate for BlogHer.
Can't wait to read about Hadie's birthday bash.
Glad you are feeling better.
I haven't jumped on the Twlight wagon yet, not sure if I will
Okay, so I went back and read your post about last year's birthday and I have to say, that on top of getting wait-listed and then getting sick, you do have bad luck when it comes to life events! We must be soul-sisters! Just one example from my ill-fated past, I had to cancel my bridal shower the day before because of the flu.
So, now that I know about BlogHer (I'm new to all this), when do they open registration for next year and how soon will it fill up?
Hi Amber! Just read through your blog a bit, I'm in the midst of the Twilight series myself, and it is consuming my mind! The library is holding the last one for me :)
Thanks for checking out my blog. I'll have to visit MileHighMamas and get back with you. Thanks for the invite! I'll be getting back with you.
enjoy this beautiful, amazing weather!

I missed the boat on registration too but I'm still planning to go ... shoot me an email!
Nice bully! have fun beth......
I'm probably the only female on the planet who isn't a Twilight fan. Actually, that's not completely true. I thought the movie was really funny... in an unintentional sort of way :)
Good luck with the bully! We knew a kid like that when Red was little. He terrorized everyone equally :)
And I wish I was going to Blogher. Just not in the cards this year.
I'll be your roommate. Can I just go and act important? When do we leave?
