OMG! Like, Squeee!

I’ve been at this whole blogging thing for a long time now.

I hit “publish” for the first time in 2006, back when the blogosphere was still pretty small — at least as far as moms go. It felt like a little neighborhood designed just for me: interesting, funny women who were dealing with some of the same issues that I was back then.

I remember the first year that I really felt like I wanted to go to BlogHer, and I couldn’t. It just wasn’t in the cards for me. I watched and read from afar as you all met and cemented the friendships you’d made in the ether. With each passing year that I didn’t go, I felt more and more conflicted: I wanted to be there but I couldn’t figure out a way to go without opening so many Pandora’s boxes.

But my day has finally come.

I’m going to Blissdom.

It’s just right for me; not too big, not too small. So many of the women I’ve admired and cheered for, so many of the women who have been there for me as I made my way to this place in my life will be there. Friends new and old.

Tanis and Casey and Jennifer and Heather, Christina and Hollee and the famous Alli Worthington, who I knew as Mrs. Fussypants — and so, so many more.

I’ve hidden my face for so long. My inner high-school freak is jumping out of her skin, but in the interest of living dangerously (and by the way, I did cut my hair), I’m telling her to shut the fuck up, already.

I’m coming to see you. And I am going to let you see me.

I cannot wait to LMFAO with you. Like, OMG. *squeeee!*
