BlogHere 08
With only 13 days, and a week in Cape Cod, between now and then, much needs to be taken care of before BlogHere 08.
The least of it all is that two beds must be constructed for Youngest's room, a mattress retrieved and my entire house cleaned until it sparkles. K will handle the first half of that sentence.
My BlogFriends have been very remiss and have not responded to my enticing emails.
Do they want to go to the ocean on Friday?
The city on Thursday?
And, for my part, I haven't done much meal planning. K has offered up several delicious suggestions for meals - but will the participants be hungry for what we have to offer?
(This is rhetorical. These women will eat what is put in front of them and LOVE IT.)
I do know some things:
Thursday, the 17th, will include cocktails with my Real Life Girlfriends (RLG's, make that around 7ish.)
Friday, the 18th, will include dinner with my mom.
Friday, the 18th includes another VERY SPECIAL FEATURE. Shall I tell you what it is?
On Friday the 18th we need to make a trip to the airport to pick up Jen.
Yes. We will indeed be enjoying the company of Ms. Jen Lancaster, who, in a dramatic move to avoid working on her 4th bestseller, will be joining us for the weekend. I KID, SHE NEEDS A WEEKEND OFF.
Can you feel my excitement?
I am ALL ATWITTER.
Jen has requested a trip to the beach and so I'm thinking that we will retrieve her, settle her things and relax at the ocean on Friday. (The beach on a Saturday is not ideal.)
THANK GOD SOMEONE HAS A PLAN.
The very thought of sitting, in our Dick's Chairs, on the beach with Susie, Poppy, Wendy and Jen has me stoked. (That's a surfing term.)
And how to document all of this?
Susie has requested live video coverage and is negotiating for "slimming filters."
I know I will take hundreds of photos, but can I possibly get all of the 4000 hysterical antics likely to ensue typed and published?
I have other questions too:
Will I be able to stay up late? (I thought of this as I trudged up to bed at 10 last night.)
Can I make our very first activity "A Fun Trip To The Liquor Store Wherein Each Guest Chooses And Purchases Her Own Poison?"
Will K be here to cook or will FOUR CRAZY WOMEN sit at my table while I throw dinners together?
I've got 13 days and a trip to the Cape to figure it all out.

The rest of the blogosphere must be still in a state of speechless befuddlement. (I know I am.)
Relax about dinner. I mean, what are the odds? Some of us must be able to cook.
I'm already anticipating the blog posts that will occur on different blogs afterward. Judging by last year's BlogHer, it's going to be great.

Sounds like too much fun.
Which is not to say that I'm all jealous or anything. OH NO. NOT ME.
Maybe not. But it will make for some very fun blog posts! Don't drive yourself crazy with the cleaning. Your friends won't care (esp. after that trip to the liquor store). :)

Can't wait to hear all about it. Drunk blogging is STRONGLY encouraged.
Most of all though I am looking forward to hearing about the Cape.
We need to know EVERYTHING.
"I might have to kill you with a tray" is what you meant to type.
And I am 100% with you this time.
Umph.

ps Happy 4th to all the US bloggers
Sob.
In Providence tonight, onward tomorrow. Can your boys do any weather dances?????
And I need to tear off a lot of links on my paper chain that were missed while I was on vacation.
How to I get invited?
