My very favourite picture of me from BlogHer. I love me some sarcastic journalist. SJ and i were "internet friends" before the conference. She helped me to ban my entire flesh and blood from this website, i offered her advice on how to properly squirt breastmilk into your toddlers' eyes (gets rid of pink eye y'all), she gave me some internet love when i needed it. But, up close and in person? She was fabulous. Honest. Open. Told me i couldn't come to her party unless i stopped drinking gin and tonics. (I didn't go – couldn't face the SJ chastisement.) She was, well, nice.
I am pulled in many directions tonight. Excited about a new project with a new friend. Gearing up for school.
It's really not just the kids that go back to school, but me too. I had a meeting at the school today, when i left with a huge list of things to do, i realized that summer really was almost over. That i have taken on way too many things. But, that it will all work out. This is what i need. A full life.
Now. Now i need to prepare for speech therapy and meetings with therapists and academic delays and learning disabilities and all the things about my Toby that i can put away for the summer. Just let him be.
deepest of crushes

I was having serious love with SJ as well. Heck, she touched my boobies! Although truthfully, almost everyone did.
Another long-distance sj crush here! I wish I had been there. I asked for Blogher for my 35th birthday (july 26) but it was just too far out of our reach. Maybe next year.
I’m sure master Toby enjoys the break from all of those things, when just being a kid and running around in the sun is all he has to worry about.
I love that picture….you look like you are having a blast…..good on you.
Life sounds busy and hectic again, sad when summer comes to an end. I hope you haven’t taken on too much…allowed a bit of time for yourself to have fun.
Wishing you all the best,
Jess
That’s a great picture. I love the look in your eye.
I love SJ too. As awesome as she is on the internet, she is just that much more awesome in person
Who said it wasn’t all one big circle jerk ;)
This is probably my most favorite comments ever! Even better than that comment section where everyone talked about why they hated me!
I was wondering why you didn’t come up, you happy lush you…. glad to hear you weren’t blowing me off but scared of the wrath :)
wicked look for a wicked girl….love this part of you…keep it up!
What does it mean to ban your flesh and blood from a website?
This is a great shot of you and SJ. I enjoyed the time I was able to talk with her as well, but don’t know her as you do.
Ain’t internet love grand?
