Since I am leaving tomorrow to go to BlogHer, I found it only appropriate to (loosely) center today’s edition of Grace In Small Things around, you guessed it, travel!

1. The magnum bottle of Chardonnay in my fridge.

2. A roommate/traveling companion willing to share a suitcase, the cost to check luggage and dental floss.

3. Finding out that all meals are included with the conference I paid $76.88 to attend (finally being a student has paid off!).

4. Getting the finishing touches (that probably only matter to me) up on my blog just in the nick of time!

5. Knowing my blog will be in good hands…  taken care of … well, there will be new content posted while I am gone.*

Blogfully yours,

Summer

*Tomorrow my blog is being taken over by *gasp* A MAN! Trust me, this rare occurrence is not something you will want to miss.

Excitement. Anxiety. Panic. That is what I am feeling right now.

I leave Thursday morning to go to Chicago for a blogging convention. Yes, I am completely serious, a BLOGGING CONVENTION! Oh, and did I mention that this is a convention almost completely dedicated to female bloggers? Yeah, nothing intimidating about a gathering of 1,200 + females… females who write on the Internet and take lots of pictures.

Since I am always so on top of my game, I sent my traveling companion and fellow procrastinator, Sarah, a list of what I do and do not know/have prepared for the BlogHer 2009 Conference.

I do know/have:

- What luggage I’ll be taking/sharing.

- What cocktail dresses I’ll most likely be packing.

- My tickets (airline and BlogHer)  are printed.

- Who’s bringing what medication.

What I don’t know:

- Transportation to the airport.

- Transportation from the airport.

- How to get to the hotel from the airport.

- What lectures I’ll attend.

- Whether or not food comes with the conference.

- What to take notes in/on.

- What to wear.

- What shoes to pack.

- What jewelry to pack.

- How much the hotel is going to cost.

- If I have enough money… at all.

- Which parties I’ll attend.

- If I’ll have any free time to study.

- If I’ll have any free time to sight see.

- Where the best place to pick up a cheap flask is.

While I know the clock is ticking and I need to figure these things out, I don’t have the mental capacity to freak out over each and every one of them. I’m sure that as long as I over pack, everything else will just kind of work itself out.

Blogfully yours,

After much talk and many anxiety attacks, the new and improved Blogfully Yours is here!

I’m thrilled to pieces you have stopped by to check it out! Stay a while, make yourself at home.

Like most things in life, this is a work in progress — ever changing and evolving. But I can’t help but be impressed at how far this novice, technology-challenged blogger and blog have come. I promised myself I wouldn’t cry *sniff sniff* but I am, in fact, proud.

Blogfully yours,

Summer

PS- regular posting will resume on Monday.
