Here we are, it's the Monday after BlogHer and I've got the Post BlogHer Blues.
It's like the letdown I felt after my wedding which took 8 months to plan and only a few fleeting hours to enjoy.
It's like the disappointment I feel after I've cooked for hours only to have my kids purge the meal into their napkins and opt for yogurt instead.
I waited so long for BlogHer - looking ahead to a time of learning, camaraderie, revelry and just plain letting it all hang out kinda FUN. Now, in a few short days, wonderful days, it's all behind me. Soon to become only a fond memory.
So, to battle the BlogHer Blues, I'm going to take a vial full of Prozac and call it a night think about 5 things I'm grateful for this Monday. (See how swiftly I segued into that? I'm so shifty.)
1. I am grateful for having four days to focus on no one else but myself. I felt alive, I felt appreciated, I felt like ME. Yay!
2. I am grateful for meeting such wonderful women - some humorous, many warm, and all blasting the word "stereotype" right out of the dictionary.
3. I am grateful for reuniting with an old friend.
4. I am grateful for coming home to a house with no new pee stains and no more chewed up phone and laptop chargers.
5. I am grateful for my Iphone dropping in the toilet because now I can get the new one. (Not really 'cause it's expensive and there are no new ones for about a week and it sucks 'cause I'm stuck with a cheapo piece-o-shit phone that does nothing compared to my iPhone but I'm trying to look at the bright side SO SHUT IT!)
What are you grateful for?

It was a wonderful weekend!
I totally agree, I am so upset that Blogher is over, I had so much fun! Meeting so many women in one weekend was an experience I will never forget... and I will never forget all of the cookies, chocolate, and chips I managed to stuff down!!

2: I'm blogher jealous. Didn't go, probably won't be able to next year either, little kids and little money!
