Chevy Hybrid Cost Analysis

So, Chevy allowed my family to drive a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid across the country, from Dallas to Salt Lake City, on our way to BlogHer08. You can’t imagine my gratitude (My 1995 van broke down right before we left and we just found out it will cost $900 to fix the air conditioner.)
I was […]

Last Day Vacation

Today is the last day of my family vacation. My brother, who I only see once a year, left this morning. My other brother, who I only see once a year, left last night.

Bitter. Sweet.

Sweet cause I did get to see them and we’ve had a great time with virtually no drama - but bitter […]

#BlogHer08 Highlights

When I met Sarah from Findable Blogs sitting next to me in a SEO training I said a silent prayer “Thank you God for Girl Geeks.” She showed me some really cool html code and taught me what a meta tag is and helped me find it. She also went with me to Google.com and […]

Mirrors: Ours, The Media’s, Our Cultures’ and Our Kids’

This is MY view from the panel. I don’t know if there is a picture of me on the panel.

So I had my big BlogHer08 speaking panel, Mirrors: Ours, The Media’s, Our Cultures’ and Our Kids’ speaking panel yesterday and it was a rush.

The panelists were Laurie Toby Edison of Body Impolitic, Tracee Sioux of […]

Tax/Business/Copyright Notes

Because I love all my readers who ARE bloggers (and the ones who aren’t but might be interested) I’m posting my notes from the Taking Care of Business seminar at BlogHer08 unedited (because I don’t really have time to perfect it.)

Defamation - reasonable listener - something wrong with my meal and manageer was extremely rude […]

BlogHer08

Best night ever.

So tired.

Anonymity gone.

Meet wondrous interesting souls. Women. Talk interesting. Fabulous.

Some people know me. Know who I am. Read me. Feels good.

Tomorrow 2:30 is big day.

Met panelists and BlogHers that I love to read.

Foot in mouth?

I hope not.

Caught smoking?

Only when I drink. I quit.

Note to BlogHer - PRINT A BROCHURE!!! Feeling lost or scribbling […]

Touristing/BlogHer Speakers Training

Aren’t his mirrored sun glasses great? I’ve been striking a pose in them all week. Little kissy face, little dramatic tossing the scarf around my neck, little boogie dance, little check out my cleavage in this top, don’t you wish I had 5 more?

We’ll tourist some more until this afternoon, when I get to go […]

Hole N’ The Rock

Finally made it. 30 Hours in the car. 3+ tanks of gas.
Exhausted.
We stopped at Hole N’ The Rock, Utah where a couple literally build a cave home with 14 rooms. They chiseled the roof, floor and ceilings and it was amazingly functional and still in tact and decorated from the 1970s. Talk about working for […]

Half Way - Albuquerque, NM

I drove all night. Breakfast at McDonalds. Hopefully playground will buy us some quiet peace while I sleep through the next leg of the trip. I drove all night so hopefully Hubby will take care of Zack’s poopy diaper.

Yes, he did shave his head. Says he has two weeks vacation to grow […]

Tahoe Spacious?

I think a mini-van boasts more actual space than an SUV.

An SUV sure takes up more room on planet earth, but there is somehow a lot fewer compartments, less luggage area and less leg room for passengers.

* Unplug everything so don’t use (pay for) vampire energy - check.

* Shave husband bald - check. (He […]

Shut UP! ‘08 Tahoe

Shut UP!

That’s what I said when I saw this ‘08 Tahoe Hybrid and all it’s fancy shmancy features.
I said it when I saw the reverse camera and the XM touch screen radio and the GPS and the tire pressure monitor.

Well, read BlogHer or Bust! to find out just how opulent and extravagant a $52,780 […]
