A List Before I Go

1. I have been a little under the weather for the past couple of days, but I can confidently say that the 22 Jamba Juice Coldbusters have done their job.

2. However, I woke up sounding like Kathleen Turner this morning.

3. Which is kind of cool because my fellow Blogher attendees might think I have a deep, sultry voice.

4. So, I am purposely shouting around the house. You know, to keep the pipes rusty. “WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY, WITO? YOU WANT A BA-BA? A BAAAAA-BAAAAAA?” *uncontrollable hacking* “OHHHHHHHHHH-KLAHOMA, WHERE THE WIND COMES SWEEPING DOWN THE PLAAAINNNNNNN!”

5. I am super excited about meeting all of the cool chicas.

6. However, I am scared that everyone will think I’m a self-mutilator or in a highly-charged domestic abuse situation due to all of the cuts and bruises on my legs and arms.

7. I am trying to remind myself that I will be around these people for several days, so they can witness my clumsiness firsthand. I have issues with running into tables, slamming my fingers in doors, tripping over air, etc. Hence the 49 bruises.

8. I have packed 5 pairs of shoes, and I’ve heard talk of that number being excessive. I think I’ve exercised great restraint.

9. I will miss my boys terribly.

10. But don’t hold it against me if I forget their names for a brief second. Alcohol + Jitters = Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease.

    I saw Kathleen Turner nude in The Graduate while studying in London. Don’t know why I felt the need to share that, but there you go. Have a great time at BlogHer.

    Yay for the sexy cold voice! Thats the best part of the cold. And I don’t think 5 shoes are excessive… that sounds like a good amount to me!

    Oh! I wish I was going! Please take tons of pictures – I’m sure you’ll see tons of good hair days in the next couple of days.

    Five??? Hahaha, you’ve never seen me pack! I can easily take ten for five days and want more. I think it was the opening scene from Dirty Dancing that corrupted me.

    Have a great time!

    I will be the one saying “Whoorl is really a man, Whoorl is really a man” when I hear your raspy voice.

    I kid.

    I totally planned on bringing a million shoes. But now have no room for them. It’s either the shoes or the underwear. I choose underwear.

    if you divide my three into your five, our average is 1.66? what? wait a minute, i don’t think my calculator is correct. okay, let’s just say, 4. a very respectable number for a four day trip.

    but then, we won’t be sharing shoes. also, don’t forget your houseshoes. even the W can have a raging case of toe funk.

    can’t wait for tomorrow!!!!!

    Enjoy your free “whoorl time”. I’m sure I don’t even need to tell you that. You do just fine on your own. I am so proud of my wee whoorl.

    Plus, it’s really great to truly MISS your boys every once in awhile. Makes them look even cuter when you return, if that’s possible. :D
