In July 2009 I’m either going to be in St. Louis, Portland, or Philadelphia! Are you going to join me?

Remember the poll? Well the votes were tallied and these were the top three. Now they’re going to investigate all three cities to see where they can get a good venue for the dates and so on.

Personally, I hope it’s in St. Louis because I’ve never been to Missouri. Where do you hope they have it?

One of my favorite BlogHer memories is captured in this movie. Whymommy and I were at the Silicon Valley Moms Blog party and the venue had a unique way of entering the party. And she has great sense of humor. And adventure. Watch it — it’s funny, you get to see us having fun, and Whymommy has a great smile :)

Where exactly is that hand going?

(And thanks Jill for working your ass off to organize such a great event!)

After reading Maria‘s post I thought to myself, ‘Hey, I was there too!’ and of course started scanning the photo. And there it is! Or to be more precise, there I am!


Hot damn peeps, my freshly-colored hair is in the New York Times. Now that’s what I’m talking about!

(And of course, this story was put into the Fashion and Style section because of my hair and not because it is a story about Women. Right?)

Hey, today is my second Blorthday. Huzzah!

Curious about my first post? It’s a thrilling must-read. Or check out what I wrote last year on my blorthday. And there’s a special place in my heart for my very first commenter.

Before I found blogging I spent so much time crafting the best way to tell a story or a joke in my head, and sometimes I didn’t find someone to tell it to before it evaporated. I’m so grateful for blogging, I just wish I’d decided to take the plunge sooner.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who takes the time to read what I write. Comments are always appreciated, but just the fact that you’re here is more than enough :)

xoxoxo,

Erika

They see your eeevery moooove.

This is what happens when a photographer says “OK, I’m going to count to three and on three you’re going to open your eyes wider.” Sounds sexy, right?

Hawt

Plus my mouth is crooked. Did I have a stroke at BlogHer or was it just too much coffee? I guess excessive caffeine (or electrocution) would explain the hair.

Yikes. Oh, and in return for letting you see this terrifying picture of me, that admittedly isn’t the worst photo of myself I’ve ever shown you, I’ll leave you with this lovely little ear worm.
