13 Reasons I’m not going to BlogHer

The superbowl of MommyBlogging starts tomorrow. Will I be there? Uh, no. Do you care? Probably not. But that’s not going to stop me from giving you 13 reasons why I’m not going. It’s Thursday. It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.
  1. Apparently WordPress isn’t compatible with the BlogHer advertising pimpdom.
  2. I’m not as cool as her.
  3. Or her.
  4. Oh, come on, I’m at least as cool as this dude. Oh well, I guess not.
  5. I really don’t need the swag.
  6. I wasn’t cool in high school and I’m not cool enough for stories like these.
  7. I hate San Francisco. Oh wait, San Francisco is my favorite city. Hmmm.
  8. I can get drunk and pass out in the comfort of my own home.
  9. I need to spend my weekend trying to find a better job.
  10. I don’t want to be away from my kids for a third weekend this summer.
  11. I can’t afford it.It’s sold out.
  12. I think I would collapse into a babbling mess if I got to meet her.
  13. Meeting this guy would really freak me out.

  3. Anything I can get up to San Francisco, it will be to eat great food and drink fine wine. Period.

  5. I’m with cajunvegan — SF is best on an epicurian adventure. Period.

  6. Holy crap sick minds think alike! I HATE when people do this, but please go see my post today. Then we can totally be snarky and self-righteous about how cool it is NOT to fit in.

  7. I feel like I am the only one not going to blog her - I would love to go but let’s see
    six children ages 0 to 7
    adopted son with lots of health issues
    not sure where the military will send us next
    in desperate need of cash
    living in Florida
    hummmmmmm
    We can have our own Not going to blog her party at home? What do you think?

  8. PoppingBubbles - That reminds me. What are you doing this weekend?
    Mel - Uh, yeh. What tipped you off? the shirt, his “office”, or that stalker gleam in his eye?
    CajunVegan - We can drink our way to and through the fog. I’m with ya sister.
    CJ - You can come too, of course.
    Gray Matter - There’s always room for more. We’ll set up a DIY BlogHer kit with new extra snarkiness! Just think of the marketing possibilities…uh…wait a minute. Then we’d be just as bad, wouldn’t we?
    Anita - With your crew, you can have your own BlogHer (and him, and them).

  10. Uh…MissA…I’m with you on BlogHer, but why leave Vegas? Well..hmmm…let’s see. Oh, yeah. It’s HOT!!! Damn Hot!!! I love this town like I love my brother, but even I need to get out every once in awhile!

  11. Will it help if I say it was so amazingly overwhelming last night I went to bed early? Yes, I’m getting old apparently :)

  12. Uh, sorry Michelle. Saying you’re overwhelmed at BlogHer is like saying you’re wiped out after the post-Oscar Vanity Fair party. My heart is not exactly bleeding for you. But really, I’m not bitter. Send postcards, or better yet - your cast off swag. Really, I’m not a BlogWhore!
