BlogHer 2008

In less than two weeks we’ll be driving up to San Francisco for one of the most unique conferences I will ever attend.  I’ve been to my share of conferences…nearly all of them for practice updates relevant to my career as a nurse. This conference is different.  This conference is for me.  For my personal enrichment as an aspiring blogger. I’m still such a novice in this somewhat confusing, always captivating sphere of influence called the blogosphere.  

I had to bribe convince my husband that going to BlogHer would benefit all of us.  Here is what I came up with:

1.  Going to BlogHer will make me rich

-You have to give to receive right?  

2.  Going to BlogHer will make me smarter and more successful

-How could I not glean some wisdom from these amazing speakers?

3.  Going to BlogHer will make me popular

-I’m getting a head start too by attending The People’s Party on Thursday night!

After I plead my case, my husband thought it over and then went ahead and SIGNED ME UP!!!!  What an awesome husband I have!  Now…if only I had a place to stay in San Francisco…and a way to get up there…and food to eat…

Guess what?  Susan and Janice from 5 Minutes for Mom (who I am sooo hoping to meet) are hosting a giveaway and one lucky BlogHer attendee will receive $250 courtesy of HP!  Hurry and head on over to their site for details on entering.  The deadline is July 8, 2008.
