I had to buy it. It’s one of Natalie Dee’s new t-shirt designs.

This little clip made my morning. Not only did she say “penis” instead of “peanuts” once, she did it twice! Third time’s a charm though, because she got it right as she wrapped up her story.

I drove 13 hours round-trip, was the only person without kids, skipped the pajama party out of principle, and had cold showers both mornings, but you know what…I had a great time at Blissdom.

I attended all of the Maven panels and everyone was interesting and engaging, and it was nice to be around so many other bloggers for the very first time. I picked up a few tips and came home with some new ideas, but most of the information reinforced what I already knew or assumed, and a little validation feels good.

And as  a perk, I just finished reading Such a Pretty Fat by Jen Lancaster, and she just so happened to be the keynote speaker! I could have lived without Yanni Voices, but I’m definitely digging Chris Mann.

Here’s just a few of the people I met in the lats 48 hours…

If you were there, too, let me know! If I gave you my card, leave a comment! And don’t forget to follow me on Twitter!

Oh, and a big shout out to the woman in room #308. Were you sick or was it a case of too many Blisstinis? Because hearing you vomit at 2 am was about as much fun for me as it was for you. Hope you feel better!

I did take one picture. Just to prove I really was there and wasn’t living vicariously through Twitter.

I leave for Blissdom in Nashville early Friday morning, and I’ve been packing and repacking all week. You’ve got to dress to impress when you’re going to network with 100 other female bloggers!

I’ve packed two jackets, the standard cardigan and blouse, a cocktail dress, and jeans. There’s also cute shoes to go with each outfit, but I kept it pretty casual.

If you’re headed to Blissdom, leave me a comment so we can meet up! Are you pulling out your conference couture?

One of the advantages of being snowed in and working from home is being able to have daytime television playing in the background. The mention of Tiffany Brisette on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet caught my attention this morning.

Tiffany played Vicki (VICI – Voice Input Child Indenticant) on Fox’s very first sitcom, Small Wonder, about a married engineer who creates the very first robot and tries to pass her off as their daughter. Vicki had super human strength, was a mathematical wizard, and runs on atomic power, but looks like a real little girl.

I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. If you’re not familiar with the show, here’s some clips…

Besides the fact that my sister teased me endlessly about looking like Vicki’s TV brother, Jamie, Small Wonder was one of my favorite television shows. Is anyone familiar with the show? Did you watch it as a kid? Did your kids watch it? Are you now stuck on YouTube watching old episodes like I am?
