I've been having serious time management issues as of late. Right this moment I've got 20 minutes to write and eat a snack before Chance is out of quiet time. He's sick again, too (we're just trading illnesses here like baseball cards) and demanding a lot of attention, work keeps coming in, our activity calendar has been nuts, and my juggling skills need to be shipped off to circus school.
I'm starting to feel extra super duper lame!
Speaking of which, it turns out BlogHer '09 and my 20th high school reunion are the same weekend! Not that either of those are lame I just think about high school and automatically a flash back montage of dork girl me and Liz Lemmon's "flap flap flap" goes through my mind. (Except I wasn't mean. I think. Just weird.) There was actually a casual high school get together over the weekend at a Dave and Buster's – bastion of those in denial of aging! – which I stopped in at (fortified by my best wing girl, of course). I probably knew about five people there. We stood by the wall. BUT no one threatened to "Carrie" me (or my girlfriend) so I figured that came out OK.
Anyway… conundrums people. What would you do? Blogging convention or high school reunion?
Who's going to BlogHer, btw?

I’m going to BlogHer!!
BlogHer, from what I hear, has better swag, too. Reunion would be cheaper. Equal libations. I don’t know, tough call.

I haven’t decided if I am going or not this year. But, if I do, you have to!! It’s just not BlogHer w/o you. My 20th reunion was alright, but now there’s facebook and all, so people seem to find each other already. I vote for BlogHer (but I’m bias).
I’m addicted to those Thank-you cookies and the Lemonades. Just told my neighbor that I am NOT buying anymore, so keep her little girl scout pusher away!
You already know I’m only going to afford the reunion, but what, for you, would be a better experience? I’m guessing you’ll have more to blog about from BlogHer. Whatever stimulates the writing…
I’d like to go to BlogHer. It’s a day’s drive from where I’m at (well, a day if you can read a map, not freak out, nor cry when you get horribly lost, and I can pretty easily accomplish two of those three things!), but we’re so broke that I’m not sure I can convince Tool Man it’s something I should do before making a house payment!
I hated HS, so I vote BlogHer.
We’re going to be at the reunion so you should go there for me, since I won’t know anybody at all and Fred likes to abandon me at parties š
Is neither an option? That’s what I’d go with because I had no desire to go to my 20th reunion and I’m really too shy to go to a conference where there’s so much socializing.
But if I had to pick, I’d go with BlogHer.
Hmmm, I seem to be seeing a bias between online people and real life friends. How unexpected.
Unless they decide to move BlogHer to a different weekend or I change jobs, I will forever be unable to attend, and that sucks.
I have to conduct an inventory that same week/weekend every year. If you go, spend a drink ticket in honor of me?
I’ll be at BlogHer.
As usual.
When I think about the people I went to HS with and the people I have met at BlogHer the choice is easy.
See you in Chicago.
High-school reunion (it’s more personal). I went to my ten-year reunion in 1994. I would have gone to my twenty-year reunion, but they didn’t have one (to my knowledge). And they didn’t have a twenty-fifth (to my knowledge). I need to call my high school–ask ’em what’s up!
