Dear Readers,

Please do not be alarmed by my lack of posting. I’ve had a busy week. In fact, just yesterday I was in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia again, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

I’ve been kind of busy over on the Mom Road Trip site.

(If you haven’t been over there yet I am with Devra and Meagan and we are currently headed toward San Francisco to go to the BlogHer conference.)

Speaking of which… do you want to see me on the news?

Do you want to see me on the news trying to squeeze my ass into a pair of size 8 jeans?

I knew you did. Here it is.

Now, I will try not to neglect you but I can’t guarantee anything. I don’t even know if I will even be able to access the internet the entire time.

Love,

Sarah

This morning a gentleman in a 70 foot truck dropped off a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid at my house.

(All the neighbors got excited until I told them I didn’t get to keep it.)

This afternoon a crew from CBS will be dropping by to film me (and Devra) in the car. Then (I assume) they will be putting us on television.

On a normal Friday I would be doing stuff like grocery shopping and laundry.

At this rate I can’t wait to see what happens this evening. Maybe Ed McMahon will come by with one of those huge checks.

If he does I will buy EVERYBODY drinks at BlogHer.

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?
