July 6, 2008 | BlogHer, D.C. Metro Moms Blog, Mom Road Trip, Other Bloggers, badassery, tourists

So remember forever ago when I told you that I had something really exciting happening in July and I told you I would tell you what it was and then I never mentioned it again?

Well, I couldn’t tell you yet because we had to wait for all of the legal stuff to get taken care of. But I can tell you now.

I’m going on a road trip to BlogHer!

That’s right. You heard me. Me and three other suckers from the Silicon Valley Mom’s Blogs (DC Metro Moms Blog, Chicago Moms Blog and the soon to be launched Rocky Mountain Moms Blog) will be driving to San Francisco.

I know it sounds crazy. Yes, I know it is 2823 miles from Washington DC to San Francisco, but we are getting a Hybrid Chevy Tahoe to drive and I don’t have to pay for the gas.

I hope you will check out our website. Devra and I will be leaving here on Saturday. We drive to Chicago to pick up Meagan, then to Omaha, then we will pick up Aviva in Colorado. The next day we will stop in Salt Lake City, Utah and the day after that Reno, Nevada. On Thursday we will stop off in Silicon Valley to pick up Jill and then we will show up at the hotel for BlogHer.

We will be blogging and posting videos the whole time.

I realize that a road trip of four Moms going to a blogging convention may earn me a nomination into the nerd hall of fame, but I expect it to be a great time.

Did I mention you can follow us on Twitter?

My Friends Have Cool Friends

Originally uploaded by Sarah606

Check it out - Mike Ditka, Mommy at Work and Gale Sayers.

Clearly her job is cooler than mine. I bet neither of these guys spit zucchini on her yesterday. I mean - we didn’t discuss it, but I think it is safe to assume that they didn’t spit anything on her.

I personally cannot remember running across any hall-of-famers in my line of work, unless you count watching “SportsCenter” at nap-time.

Come to think of it - I get to watch “SportsCenter” at nap-time. Maybe my job isn’t so bad after all.

I had my first fantasy football draft last night and I got Willis McGahee in the fourth round.

WILLIS MCGAHEE IN THE FOURTH ROUND.

Granted, there were only eight teams, but still, I feel kind of like a badass.

I also got Larry Johnson with the fifth pick.

Am I going to kill these people or what? I am almost sad it isn’t for money.

(Hi guys!)

Last night I set my alarm for 6:00 am.

I usually don’t set an alarm unless I have a flight to catch or it is a school day for The Goon Squad. It is Summer, and I am not going anywhere. So knowing that Ian will wake me up before 7:00 am at the very latest, why did I need to wake up so early?

I also write over at Strollerderby. Most mornings we run a feature called “Strollerderby Playdate“. I am in charge of Thursdays. Since I never got around to doing my post for last night I figured I would just get up early and finish writing it this morning.

After hitting snooze a mere three times, I actually got out of bed and turned on my computer. I was about 3/4 of the way done when I realized what you probably already know.

It is Wednesday.

Okay. Let’s move on.

Mel from Freak Parade thinks I am a Rockin’ Girl Blogger.

She must have seen my guitar.

(This is a button that I got from Jessica at Oh, the Joys - She is also a rockin’ blogger.)

Now for my nominees:

Dawn totally rocks.

Bossy Rocks.

Tink Rocks.

Jess rocks and rolls.

And Chase - Chase rocks the mic like a vandal.

This is not to say that the rest of you don’t rock, but I could only pick five. So there you have it.

Oh, and one more thing…. anal fiesta.

So, I just got off the phone with Steve Case.

No, really. I was on a conference call with Steve Case, and he was really cool. I was joined by Cindy, Kelly, Jenn and Jenny. We talked about his new website Revolution Health. It is a brand new site that is kind of like WebMD, but better.

The other ladies were very professional and asked well thought out, intelligent sounding questions while I said things like Holy Shit! Steve Fucking Case! “Uh, duh, ummmmm… What is WebMd?”

I’m kidding. I did okay, even though I am pretty sure everyone could clearly make out the sound of “Madagascar” in the background. I guess you if want Mommybloggers, you get the added bonus of getting to rock out to “I Like to Move It”.

You are supposed to sing that title to the tune of either “Born in the U.S.A.” or “Banned in the U.S.A.” depending on which one you think is funnier.

Either way, my friend Mark (I still haven’t been able to figure out why he is wrestling a donkey in that picture) is currently working on shooting a movie somewhere outside of Addis Ababa, and he says that the Ethiopian government has banned Sarah and the Goon Squad.

I feel like such a bad ass.
