Blogher birth control

I'm going to Blogher. I probably wouldn't be going if A) it wasn't within driving distance; Minneapolis to Chicago is only about 6 hours, if B) I wasn't rooming with dear friend/blogger Julie who knows the ins and outs of Chicago (meaning the good bars vs. the dive bars) or if C) Julie didn't have friends that have couches.

So don't think that I can either afford a deluxe Blogher trip or that I think I'm a popular enough blogger to be going, but they tell me it's for everyone and honestly, I'm able to use this as an excuse to vacation without kids (or husband, sorry sweetie). Come on, have you been to Chicago in the summer?!

Blogher 09 is celebrating blogging 'In Real Life' but in my real life Anti-Supermom is way more fun with a few drinks in her, so this trip has become my newest form of birth control:

I will not be getting pregnant with Mr.Hypothetical-baby-number-three until after July 25th unless something goes horribly wrong (I mean I'm pleasantly surprised).

After all, I pretty certain that I don't want to meet face-to-face with some of my favorite, iconic blogger 'friends' without being able to down consume a shot glass or two of tequila white wine.

Blogher here I come, where many of my favorite bloggers may not remember (or even know) who I am, but that's okay because I may be too drunk to remember who they are either.
No hurt feelings.

You go girl!! How fun will that be??? I'm still contemplating going, but hubby will definitely need to find another job before I commit. Would LOVE to have a drink or two (or ten) with you :-)

Lol too funny! whatever works for you, right!? I would love to go to BlogHer, but 1) I feel like there's an age limit.. like at least 21! haha and 2) I don't think I could justify that to my parents, unfortunately! Have fun!!

I'm so jealous. I am hoping I can go, but the husband isn't so sure. He doesn't understand why I want to go. Maybe I should just tell him that I have a speaking engagement. Ha, like speaking to a bunch of other lushed up bloggies! You'll have a great time!

Most definitely the most original and unique form of birth control I've heard of!

Have a wonderful time!

We're both using trips as birth control! But rather than Chicago, we're thinking three weeks in Asia, S. America, or Africa. Chicago would be fun too. I'm calling it the year of the trips.

I'm also using the need for house renovations as birth control too, but it's not a deal breaker. We'd figure it out. Boy, another set of same-age cousins would be fun...

wow, you sound like a lot of fun when I'm not around :)

Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? said...

So very jealous. It sounds like such a fun time. Hmmm...I've got a cousin in Chicago. I haven't talked to her in two years, but whatever, right? How far is Decatur from Chicago?

Kristen said...

Oh love it!! Your post totally made me laugh!!

I guess that I too am out this year. As much as I totally was in, the economy kicked my hubby job in the butt, so we are tightening down here a bit. So please please please let me know what a fantastic time you have!!

And what I wouldn't give to be having a few beverages with you too! :)

AndreaLeigh said...

how fun! i wish I was closer.. i'd totally join you.

Anti-Supermom said...

Just so you all know, I'd LOVE to meet every single one of you too.

We'd rock Blogher!

Rebecca said...

Oh fun! I wish I could go. I could use some shots - er wine - too!

Wisconsin Parent said...

Hey There...we will have fun (and I love that I made it IN this post). And, I was thinking of taking you to my favorite, favorite, breakfast place. Off of Division (pseudo ghetto) where none of the dishes match and there's a jar of jelly beans in the middle of every table. :-)

Kate said...

I am jealous, I would love to go to BlogHer. But I guess there's always a possibility for me too. If I end up making a road trip down there I'll see you there. So did I read in there that you're planning a third?!
