It’s getting hot in here… the pre-BlogHer blah blah blah post
July 16, 2008 – 10:28 amSince EVERYBODY AND THEIR DOG is writing a pre-BlogHer post about clothes and shoes and OH THE WEIGHT WE DIDN’T LOSE, I’ve decided to join in.
After all, what’s a bandwagon without all the people jumping on it?
So it’s true, I’m going to BlogHer. And I’m excited except I’m clearly in denial because I leave in just a few moments and I have done NOTHING in preparation.
Nada.
Well, except I DID get a new outfit.
Nothing fancy. Just a little sumpin’ sumpin’…
Tell me what you think (and BE HONEST)…
You may have noticed, I’ve been working out.
But seriously, I’m really excited because I have super-DUPER-cool roommate who I met at BlogHer last year.
If you don’t already know her (YOU SHOULD!), say hello to Amie from Mamma Loves.
She and I are two of a kind.
If you don’t get to go to BlogHer this year, I’m truly sorry.
The ONE THING you need to know is that I looked like THIS:
Don’t believe anything you hear to the contrary. (VICIOUS LIES!) People are saying I had a muffin top? You respond with a LALALALALALALA. Hear talk of dowdy clothes? that’s your cue to shout, I CAN’T HEAR YOU! People claim I was boring as a paper napkin, and almost as soggy? Your line is ARE YOU TALKING? CAUSE ALL I HEAR IS BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Got it?
Good.
Now for those of you who ARE going…
Ignore everything above and prepare yourself for MUFFIN TOP ACTION.
Yeah baby!
(But what good is a women if she doesn’t have a little something to squeeeeeeze??? Seriously.)
***
One more thing.
CJ looked over my shoulder when I was doing the Photoshopping for this post and said “Mommy, you look BEEAUTIFUL!”
I shift uncomfortably in my chair and say, “Uh, thanks.”
Then he wrinkles his forehead and adds, “But it doesn’t really look like you.”
ya think?
He studies the picture and continues, “You don’t have a purse like that.”
Because THE PURSE is what gives it away.
Oh how I love that boy!

You are ruining the surprise for the rest of the ladies that are lucky enough to be going to BlogHer, because that outfit is HAWT bay-bay!
Also? What kind of exercise do you do to get your thighs to look so slender? Is there any way to get my ham-hocks to be as stunning as your legs???

I am leaving for the airport in less than two hours. I am so excited. I have wanted to attend this conference since I read about it almost a year ago.

Hee. The other day I was pushing daughter through the grocery store and she said, “You look like you have a baby in your tummy”. I don’t. Ouch.

And your purse, Jenny dear, absolutely fab! Tell me, will you be carrying around a cute little tea cup mutt, because seriously, that would just complete your look! Just sayin’!

This is HILARIOUS! The purse gave it away - that is LOL funny.
And I’m not going so I can swear from this day forward that I totally know you look like a Solid Gold dancer. With a rockin’ purse.

It’s not the pants that make you look fat. It’s the hair extensions. Lose them and you’re golden.
(Get it? Golden? Cause the whole outfit is gold… oh, just forget it.)

He’s just psyching you into bringing him home a REALLY good gift from your trip, isn’t he?
Totally jealous here… green with envy, as there is no green to get there.
Have a GREAT time!!!

You are such a hottie! I wish I could pull of an outfit like that…
Wish I could go to Blogher! But at least now I know what you’ll be wearing so when I read those other blogs I can remember that you were the best dressed!
