That was my thought last week after I had my meltdown at my psych doctor's office, and before I transitioned onto a new drug. [...oh great another one of those anxiety-prone bloggers...] How am I going to handle the pressures of sessions and parties and people and and...And what will my lovely roommate think of me? No fear.
I feel better now that I'm on this different, and apparently fast-acting, drug. Just overall, feeling some relief. There have been localized storms but I've weathered them. I know what sets me off.
I've decided to take a light-hearted low-key approach to BlogHer. If I meet new people, great. If I miss a party, whatever. Sessions? I'll hit up a couple. I'll go see what Martha Stewart and Katie Couric are selling, just because. I don't have to use up all of my drink tickets. In fact, if you want some of them let me know.
Not that I wasn't light-hearted in previous years. It was serious fun. I was with a great group of girls I met over here. This year I will just know one or two other people there. I'll meet more people. If I feel like it.
I'm not going to get stressed about it. I do this for fun and, um, personal enrichment.
Here's a guide for talking about BlogHer with your significant other.
This is the reminder about BlogHer'12 that I wrote to myself after BlogHer'11.
Oh yeah...now I remember.
Here's a bit about the sex toy swag.
Will any of you readers be there in NYC? Comment plz.
I wish I wasn't on vacay every year b/c I would totally go and use up any and all drink tickets.
Course, I have no business being there what with my lack of blogging and all. But, then again, I "have business" being at a certain convention that is being held the same week my youngest starts kindergarten so . . . not going to that, either.
Your plan sounds like a good approach to BlogHer 12 . . . I may adopt a similiarly low-key attitude for my vacay to the UP.

I had so much fun with you last year! I really wish I was going. Don't pressure yourself. Keep that go with the flow attitude. There's no wrong way to do BlogHer.

Love the convo with Dave. Have a great time and enjoy yourself (redundant)! I wish I was going with you!!! We could find some rednecks (though, I suspect most don't blog). Bummer.
