That Chicago thing

by mayberry on July 18, 2009

If you’re not going to you-know-what, and you don’t want to hear about it, just go ahead and click “mark as read” on this one.

I’m almost ready. I bought a netbook (my laptop weighs, I’m not kidding, like 20 pounds and all the shredding in the world doesn’t make that easy to lug around; and the netbook is my consolation prize for not getting an iPhone because it’s a bad financial move). I got some new business cards. I bought two dresses that I think might be cute. I got a pair of jeans that are about 8 inches too long. The pressure is on to have them shortened by Wednesday.

I also made a page listing everything I think I’m going to be crazy enough to try to do. If you’re going and we haven’t already talked about it, let me know so we can try to meet up.

I hope you have an awesome time getting to everything on your list! I so wish I was going year. Maybe next… Have so much fun!

Bless you for making that list. I’ll be at the People’s Party (or at least the ladies restroom, to see Jenny) for certain, but all else is determined by how much sleep I need to catch up. Can’t wait to see you!

I’m going! I didn’t know you were also: maybe we can cross paths!

I’ll be at the People’s Party & also Mamapop.

Hope to see you there!

1) I tried shredding. Running and yoga works better for me.
2) I need a new laptop
3) Not going to Blogher. Depending on you for a report.
