I was tempted to try and fit it in but in the end I decided NOT to attend her. I felt like I was the onlyone not going to Blogher but apparently I am not. In fact I am at a #Notatblogher twitter party right now.
I also have a chance to win a $100 scholarship so if you read this please post!
OK, so what are my reasons?
1) our family vacation starts this week and I need to pack and clean the house – I mean who would want to miss that?
2) $…. Registration $$…. Plane Fare $$$…. Hotel $$$$…. Food $$$$$…… shopping
3) I have something going on every weekend until Labor day – this is my last free weekend.
4) I would eat too much fab food in Chicago. I need to lose, not GAIN weight.
5) I am too new to blogging – just a little over a year. I may be underqualified to attend.
6) I am not sponsored by anyone nor did I seek sponsorship (next year will be a different story!)
7) I would not be able to attend the fun #notatblogher party on twitter.
I would have to pay for another bag when returning home to accommodate the swag (OK – sour grapes here)
9) I would meet bloggers 1/2 my age and wonder “Am I too old to be doing this?”
10) I don’t have to post pictures, facebook, twitter and blog and keep up with my family while trying to network.
so if YOU blog and you are not at blog her either, hurry up and create your own list
Then post it…. See you next year!

Great post, I actually came over from a Tweet I saw, so Twitter really does work for bringing people over!! I'm not at BlogHer either but I'm Canadian so I'm not even sure if I'd be 'allowed' to bring back all that swag (boo.)
