NotGoingToBlogHer

Maxine Organize

The whole blogosphere and Twitter is abuzz now that BlogHer09 is in full swing.  It seems like anybody and everybody is in the Windy City of Chicago – taking in the views of Lake Michigan; meeting all their online friends; bonding;  forming new friendships; attending seminars;  handing out or receiving Swag, and generally having a grand old time!

Well, I didn’t find a Sponsor in time for this year (color me Green) :-(   so I’ll be trying really hard to find one so I can attend BlogHer10 ~

Cozi LogoFifteen moms will have the opportunity to win $100 sponsorships from Cozi, in conjunction with Mom of 2 Boys, Wife of 1 who is giving away $1500 for moms who couldn’t get to BlogHer this year and are feeling a tad out-of-it.

Make My Day and help me to WIN by leaving a Comment on This Post! :-)

Here’s My Top 10 Reasons Why I’m Not Going to BlogHer

  • 10.  I have to babysit the granddog at my house as daughter & her Hubster are in VT this weekend.
  • 9.  I have to go over to darling daughter’s house to take care of their cat since their cat doesn’t get along with my cat.
  • 8.  I have to feed their fish, too.
  • 7.  I have to feed my cat who’s12 and gets extremely upset if I am not the one who feeds him twice a day.
  • 6. My husband of 35 years gets cranky extremely upset if I don’t feed him at least 3 times a day.
  • 5. Going to BlogHer would mean I’d need a complete makeover – liposuction, haircolor, makeup and more, as I’m a Baby Boomer – can you imagine the stress I’d be under?
  • 4. Going to BlogHer most certainly involves updating my wardrobe – which would possibly involve the purchase of a new bikini bathing suit for the indoor pool – horrors!
  • 3. I’m a little too old to try to dance on the table anymore
  • 2. Staying home is the perfect opportunity to re-fire, organize my chores (see picture above) and add recent events in our lives to my family journal using Cozi’s free family journal.
  • 1.  My husband just surprised me with some shopping spending money – lookout Marshall’s and TJ Maxx, here I come!

Join me at the Not Going to Blogher Party on Stickam Friday night!

    I’m not going to Blogher either, and it only very recently that I even understood what Blogher is. Even if I had known in advance I wouldn’t be able to attend, cuz we have an important family function going on this weekend that I couldn’t possibly miss. Good luck winning the contest!

And if you happen to get this in time…I am going to be on twitter at noon tomorrow ET at #notatblogher looking to tweet with anyone else who is not at blogher – so feel free to stop by and say hi.

I’m having a little pity party of my own… The Hubs took me shopping the other day (I had a Macy’s gift card that he had won me on a Mother’s Day sweepstakes), and I hit a fantabulous Macy’s sale!! Of course I’ll have a post on my blog about the mall later on — “OH THE HORROR”.

    I totally agree with numbers 4 & 5, I am not quite a baby boomer, but almost, so I know how it feels. Have a great weekend.

The good news about not going to BlogHer is that, in addition to seeing streams of comments on Twitter and Facebook, we can look forward to reading dozens of blog posts written by those who did attend. I hope you get to go next year! ~Arleen

    As you can tell…you are not alone, many of us did not make to Blogher this weekend!..and it looks like quite a few of us are enjoying this beautiful New England weather. For once, no rain!
    I for one, absolutely love your blog! It sounds like me, especially with the animals. All the animals have to be settled first and its the same when my daughter goes away!
    You deserve to win the sponsership! I think you will! Good Luck!

    My mom could relate to you. SHe is constantly watching her granddogs this summer and not going on her own vacation. :) SO, it is the perfect excuse for missing BLOGHER. :)

    Wow! You’ll need a sponsor for the conference, the traveling, and all the cosmetic stuff too.
    Hope everyone is well fed and you’re able to find a sponsor in 2010.

    I so want to attend Blogher next year. Especially since it’s in a city (New York)that I’ve always wanted to go to.

    I loved reason number 5, lol. I’m a Baby Boomer too. Maybe we can room together next year.

    Did I miss Blogher 09? Oh crud! Oh yea, I lost my calendar around Jan 4th. If I didn’t sleep with my laptop, I’d probably lose that too.

    I really got a chuckle out of your list. It really is good sometimes when we’re feeling a bit sad to list all the reasons we couldn’t do the thing we really wanted to do.

    I think I’ll make a list of ten reasons I’m not going to stop eating chocolate.

    ta-dah!

    I can especially related to #’s 4,5 and 6 and I love #1, so I don’t blame you for not going.

    Way too much stress and by staying you got rewarded with the cash. That’s a no-brainer in my book.

    Cute Post!
