On a totally fun note? I was able to attend a SLC Pre-BlogHer Party! The Georgous and sweet Cabinessa put it together and included us local bloggers who didn’t have tickets (yet, still hoping). It was not only great to get out of the house (test my driving with one hand without the kids screaming in the background), connect again with local blogger I’m getting to know (LOVE it) but there was GREAT food! Hearing the other gals talk about BlogHer and hearing about their plans it made me wish even MORE that I could go! Next year I’m getting tickets and I’m getting them EARLY! If BlogHer Business wasn’t SO expensive ($550) I’d go at least to that, The vendors booth’s, the Autism class and the parties! I’d go just for those, let alone all the other wonderful classes, bloggers to meet, etc… It was wonderful just to meet up with the local bloggers again. I really have no social life, and these gathering’s here and there mean SO much to me. So great company AND to top things off Cabinessa had sponsors and giveaways! Guess who won one? ME!!!!

I won a bag sponsored by Whimsy a local women’s clothing and accessory store! I just LOVE my new hat, and the earrings are just perfect! I loved wearing them around today. AND I had these great pearl strands already that matched the earrings just right! I felt to cute today, even with my cast and sling! Yup, I got out today. I went to Costco with my mother in law and the boys. THAT was an interesting shopping trip, with my wrist and all… But we made it! Back to my great goodie bag! I got the CUTEST little survival kit for your purse EVER!

Isn’t it adorable??? It says: “Contains 16 must-haves; lip balm * breath freshener * dental floss * emery board * clear nail polish * nail polish remover * clear elastics * earring backs * hair spray * double-sided hem tape * mending kit * pain reliever * deodorant * towelette * tampon * adhesive bandage” Isn’t that the best list ever? And it’s so TINY! I LOVE it, just perfect for emergencies. Which I tend to find myself in more often than I’d like!

I also got a tank top (isn’t that a LOVELY green?). I haven’t tried it on yet, it looks like it might fit my thigh… My husband is really excited to see it on me! And finally (can you believe it!) I have a gift card! I am SOOO excited to check out their store. I’ll probably find WAY to many things that I’ll “need”. But I’ll keep myself in check. I’ve had a lot of good luck these days. Maybe it’s some kind of life balance to make up for all the frustrations. If only I could use my new found luck towards getting to BlogHer!
