Besides being completely psyched about the opportunity to listen to all the brilliant women speak at BlissDom and learn some new knowledge during the conference, I am totally pumped to meet some of my {soon to be} non-exclusively-virtual friends! We have read each others blogs for months, tweeted on twitter for hours at a time and now will be able to meet face to face. How much better could it get?! BlissDom '09 will be the ultimate 'hen fest' and I can't wait to be a part of it. From conferences to cocktail parties to pajama bash... two days of excitement.
Of course if you have been around my blog for a while then you will remember this post and you know how I feel about flying. If not, take a glance back for your own amusement. I am going to try and stay focused on all my excitement brewing inside to keep my mind off of the steal object I am bottled in while it soars through the air. I am also going to try very hard not to jump and grab the person next to me each time the plane turns. Speaking of the person next to me... I e-met Amy through twitter and the blogosphere and we realized we only live less than an hour apart. Although we have not taken the time to meet we have decided to fly together to BlissDom. Honestly, as soon as I saw Amy tweet she was going to BlissDom I jumped on the opportunity to attach myself to her hip. That's right, my fear of flying is worse when flying alone. You could only imagine how giddy I was when Amy forwarded me her flight arrangements, then realizing I could get on the same flights! I am so looking forward to it...
I plan to pack the camera and the FLIP to be prepared to capture the moments on my trip. I am sure there will be plenty to 'snap' during the cocktail par-tay! I am hoping to be able to squeeze in some time to blog live from Nashville and will do my best to post some photos. Of course not to worry because as soon as I get home it will all be revealed!

Headed to Las Vegas
I am headed to Las Vegas. Most would be jumping for joy sitting in their airplane seats impatiently awaiting thrilled with excitement to arrive to the city of lights, where secrets are kept and the fun never ends. Not me… Well okay I take that back, I am excited and I do look forward to my two night mini-vacation, however at the moment I am scared senseless. I hate flying! I am literally sitting in my seat on the airplane trying not to believe I am on a plane. LOL That’s not working out too well for me. So I have decided to blog in order to keep myself busy. Of course this post is beginning in a MS Word document considering I do not have internet on the airplane. Oh there I go ahead thinking about flying… :( I will post this blog entry if when we land. The irony behind this whole fear of flying really stinks because I absolutely LOVE to travel. I fly all the time. It never gets easier either. I take pretty quick trips mostly so driving is just brutal and waste most of your time that could be spent sight-seeing. I love short road trips, cruises and traveling in general. Just hate flying. I guess it is something about the whole fear of plummeting to the ground in a steel object that weighs (well I don’t know how much it weighs) but a lot and the end result being death. Hell even if I was one of the lucky ones in an airplane crash that ended up with a few minor bruises, I would die of high anxiety causing a heart attack on the way down. Okay well this blog post is starting on such a wonderful light subject, LOL. Hey at least a little humor about my fear helps lighten me up.
So… onto a better note. I will have about two guest blogger posts for you this week. Since I am going to be gone and trying really hard to provide my readers with words I thought it would be a great time to branch out. So watch for the new posts coming over the next couple of days. Also I thought I might do a following post while I am in Vegas for the readers out there that might be interested in a few photos and hear how the trip is going. I will also be posting an update about the School Promotes Glogster post as soon as I get a few extra minutes.
BTW here is a photo of me sitting in my airplane seat blogging on the computer. Do I look nervous? LOL Sorry it is make-up free too, too nervous to finish getting ready this morning, will do that at the casino/hotel.
