a little envious

Hey, if you didn’t notice already, Chapter 3 of Foodie is up at ChapterBytes! Go ahead and read it, I’ll wait here so we can have a chat when you get back.

Okay, did you like it? That chapter was written by Schumtzie, one of my favorite bloggy reads. If you’ve never read her before, I suggest you go do that now.

Next up will be the lovely Flutter. How I love Flutter’s writing. Oh, I wish I were going to BlogHer if only to meet her!

Did I mention I have BlogHer envy. No? I must have only mentioned it on twitter. Yes, my friends, I have a bad case. There are so many bloggers are talking about it right now, gearing up to go, and I am soooo jealous.

This is incredibly dorky of me, but I love conferences. I love hanging out with like minded people, making new friends, sharing a hotel room, and even *gasp* attending the sessions. Yep. Really dorky. I just missed a work related conference last month, but it was in a land far far away, you know, like Phoenix. Really far away, just like BlogHer is in San Francisco. Dude, I can’t afford to go that far from the sticks of New Hampshire! That’s one heck of an expensive plane ride!

How am I going to overcome my deadly sin? (Well, the envy at least. I have some others I still need to work on.) First, I just have to hope next year’s big BlogHer conference is on the East Coast but in the meantime I’ve signed up for the BlogHer Boston Outreach Tour! It’s a one day event on October 11…I can’t believe I have to wait that long. Now I just have to decide if I’m staying over one or two nights! So my New England bloggy friends, who’s with me?

    I love conferences too. My next one won’t be until December, sigh. I’ve just started this, but I’m already wishing I could go to BlogHer as well. Good for you for signing up for your local event in the fall!

    I’ll read chapter 3 soon, promise.

    Thanks for visiting me in the Trenches! Would love to go to BlogHer Boston, but that’s the scheduled weekend for my Girls Getaway. So if we don’t get our butts in gear and “getaway”, then I’m definitely going to BlogHer!

    Oh, wouldn’t that be GREAT if Blogher took place out here next year??

    I’m not going to BlogHer either and I have some envy. There’s always next year right?
