ok, so 5 days out of the country and on a luxurious cruise with my bro left me entirely out of the loop in terms of BlogherAtHome, and i apologize for that sweet homies.  i know jenn and others have been holding down the fort in my absence… and doing a fanfuckingtastic job, right?  :)

so, time (for me at least) is going by waaaaaaay too quickly.  i have an inbox that has nearly exceeded its limit (i didn’t even know they could do that) and my feedburner is on fucking fire.  that’s what i get for being out of touch for 5 days.

before i left, last week, jenn and i were asked to be a part of the MOST incredible project on the face of the planet… and no, it does not include anything related to michael jackson or asking usher to sing to MJ again while stroking his coffin.  nor does it include al sharpton.  so cheers to that!

so much awesomeness has been going on with BlogherAtHome that i find myself entirely overwhelmed with gratitude for the support we’ve gotten, whether it be in terms of swag, tweets to jenn and i just saying “thanks for doing this,” or meghan and heather contacting us about friendsofmaddie.org

i guess the lesson in all of this is that i need to leave the country more often and indulge in more umbrella drinks, cuz when i do, shit actually gets done.  :)  so a big ol’ WOOT WOOT to jenn and company for kicking some major ass over the last week.

so, i tweeted with jenn yesterday from the miami airport, asking what i need to do to get back into the swing of things with this…  her answer was “post something about how the hell you’re going to BlogherAtHome from a wedding.”

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

well………..  paul and i arrive in birmingham this coming friday night, just in time for my college roommate’s rehearsal dinner.  we will attend that, and at whatever hour of the night we get back to our hotel room, i plan on logging on to skype (ps: my skype name is mybottlesup) and finding out who is where and drinking what.  i think skype will prob be my best method of communicating with you folks when i’m in the hotel.  at the wedding reception saturday, i’ll have my phone with me where i can log in, twitter, send obnoxious twitpics, and possibly flash a bewbie or even two.  :)~

as far as the swag and giveaways go….  my faith and trust is in jenn.  come sunday, i will return home and we can discuss who won what and begin that whole process of getting your shits sent out to y’all.

basically time just will NOT slow down for me.   but that’s ok.  i’m runnin with it… sprinting even!  awesome things are happening, awesome people are gathering, and the overall awesomeness will continue…

what are your plans?  will you truly be joining BlogherAtHome from home?  will you be elsewhere like me?  will you skype?  twitter?  log in to the site?  find a way for us to chat?

BlogHer@Home was originally conceptualized and created just before the 2009 BlogHer conference, by Jenn (PrincessJenn) and Nic from My Bottles Up.

They were sitting around, having a drink (or three) and lamenting the fact that just about everyone in their Twitter streams were talking about the upcomming BlogHer conference in Chicago and what a good time they were going to have.

Not to be left out of anything involving drinking, fun, and swag, BlogHer@Home was born.

Within a month it went from a passing idea to a full blown twitter party with it’s own website and giveaways.  Nic and Jenn attempted to pick their jaws up off the floor at the number of people who were now talking about BlogHer@Home and ran with it.

Now, due to popular demand, BlogHer@Home is back for another year!

As some of the BHAH2009 alumni head to the BlogHer conference in NYC this year, the hosting of the 2010 party is being passed to two amazing ladies, Lu (@masmom) and Jennifer (@thepsychobabble).

We know they’ll do a great job and add their own flair and flavor to what’s sure to be the hottest un-BlogHer party out there!

About The Hosts:

Meet Lu, mother to her own hurricane, also known as her son Mason, and the queen of humidity down in South West Florida. She’s a lover of garlic and all that is slightly odd (which explains why she gets along so well with the rest of us!) She’s not a fan of the sugar-coated and would much rather you just tell it to her straight. Lu comes form the school of hard-knocks and graduated with honors. Underneath all that toughness, she harbors an arts-and-crafts kind of girl, a domestic at heart, and a love of community and friendship.  You can find more of her awesome (questionable) writing over at Jaded Perspective, her personal blog.

Jen is a mother, wife, student, future nurse, blogger, <insert your own title here>, who is easily amused by big words
Her sharp wit and barbed sense of humor masks a sensitive soul only occasionally revealed on her blog, The Pychobabble.  Deep down, she’s just an angsty goth girl just waiting to escape.

About the Founders:

Nic can be found at My Bottle’s Up! when she’s not running after her son, The Magoo.  A self describe passionate writer and tattooed liberal, you can usually find her with a very large glass of wine in hand.

Jenn shares her over-opinionated view and tidbits about living with a special needs daughter at Princess Prose.  She leads a pampered, over-indulged life with her geek husband and is fairly certain that the world revolves around her.
