The swag is put away (mostly), the business cards gone through (totally), the laryngitis fading (sorry, hubby, I can talk endlessly again). Yes, it was my first year at Blogher, and now it’s time for a little post mortem. Just how was it? I went into BlogHer thinking that how I felt about BlogHer would [...]
Why Aren’t I more excited about Blogher10?
Posted in Writing, tagged blogher10 on July 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The twitterverse is all atwitter. The invitations are flying. Blogher10 is almost here. So why aren’t I more excited? As Blogher10 approaches, I’ve been posting less, instead of more. I’ve been ignoring Twitter all together. And I really don’t know why. Maybe I’m feeling intimidated. Women I know who have been blogging for a lot [...]

See those two guys right here? Yeah, them, Elmo and David Hasselhoff, well because of those two, I’m suddenly getting hundreds and hundred of clicks on my site every day. Why, you ask?

A few years ago, when my twins were three or four years old, I left my daughter home with the Nanny while I went to work. My Wee One (WO) had a cold, so part way through my day, I called to see how she was. Me: Hi baby-girl! How are you? Wee One: I’m [...]
