I am heading out to BlogHer in New York City in just over 2 days. I am SO excited. But I admit that I’m a little stressed, too. There are a few things still left to do before I head on the Hershey’s DC bloggers mega train to New York on Thursday morning (more details on THAT later!).
Here is my list of things to do before I head out:
- Make a list of all of the cell phone numbers and email addresses of the bloggers that I am dying to meet. Plug phones and email into my iTouch AND my cell phone so that I won’t be scrambling to look for those numbers when I need them.
- Charge all electronics and pack all charging cords.
- Figure out what in the world I am going to wear.
- Take the kids’ insurance cards out of my wallet (and pray that no one gets sick or hurt while I’m gone!)
- Finish the laundry!!
- Come up with some organized way to collect and store business cards.
- Find an extra, collapsible bag to bring home all that extra swag.
- Shop for some extra snacks for the road and for the hotel stay (I don’t want to go hungry in between classes!)
- Paint my toe nails!
- Organize all of my classes, events and parties into one comprehensive list.
- Get cash from the bank!
- Print off all of my party tickets and put them in my computer bag.
- Find a notebook to bring along (I WILL be taking notes)
- Pack a few extra memory cards for my camera (I’ll be taking lots of pictures, especially as one of the official photographers for the e.l.f. Cosmetics/Xbox Glamour and Games party on Saturday AND the i heart faces Photo Walk on Thursday!)…and remember to install Lightroom 3 on my laptop so that I can upload and edit pictures on the go.
- Find an extra tutu for my roommate, Safire, to wear for the BlogHer 5k on Friday morning (I don’t want her to feel left out next to my amazing tutu from Manic Mother!)
- Get some sleep.
- Find all of my bloggy business cards and signature lollipops to hand out (and figure out a creative way to carry them?!)
- Narrow down my list of shoes to bring.
- Gather some bling to wear.
- One last shopping trip (wish me luck on finding the perfect dress to wear to accept my award from SEED at their exclusive party on Thursday night!)
Are you heading to BlogHer as well? Are you ready? Or does your to-do list look something like mine?
If you’ll be in NYC this weekend and would like to meet up, send me a quick email. I’d love to bump into you!

You call that a few things?
I’m glad my little list helped! :)
I will be tweeting, you can count on that! Thanks for the support…and hopefully I’ll see you in Philly soon (will you be there in Sept?)
You just reminded me about the kids insurance cards and getting cash…
Thank you :) Honestly!
OMGOSH! I am so overwhelmed reading this! To think I stressed about going to Bootcamp!
While I won’t be at BlogHer, i will be cheering you on in spirit as you accept your award and I’ll be following along with your tweets (and will be seething in jealousy. LOL)
Have a fantastic time!
Making the to-do list…..that’s exactly why I wrote this post. I needed to get it all down in writing! :)
I really hope we can see each other for longer than a passing hello! Let’s make sure we connect, ok? I’d love to see you!!
The only reason I’m going is because I’m sponsored. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the budget, either!
I’m going to BlogHer!!!
The first thing on my to do list? Make a to do list. I’m am such a procrastinator.
WooHoo! I wish I were organized enough to have a list to be overwhelmed by! Oh well, it gets done or is doesn’t, right? I’d love to catch up with you if I can find you!
Good luck with your planning. I wish I had the budget to go!
I’m excited too!! Just don’t feel stressed because of my list. :)
Same here. Maybe we can run down together! I’m sure there will be plenty of people going to both.
I’ll be at the SEED party….before I head to socialluxe. Crap, what to wear?
oh goodness- your list is just adding to my list that I already feel overwhelmed by. :) I’m so excited that you are getting an award and i get to cheer you on. woohoo.
