Putting my best face forward
Tomorrow morning I’m leaving on a jet plane. And not just any jet plane…the party plane.
The party plane is a Southwest Air flight with about 20 bloghers on it. In my head, I imagine it’ll be a lot like a big sleepover. Only on a plane. And with alcohol. The party plane will land in Chicago and be met by not one, but two stretch limos (whatever is worth doing is worth doing RIGHT) to drive to the hotel.
And once there, I have 3 days full of things to do. Including meeting 1399 women and learning a thing or two. I even got a super-amazing bit of news today (which I can’t share yet because a) I’m afraid I’ll jinx it and b) I’m not 100% sure I can tell you) in regards to an event within the event, and well, it’s awesome.
As these 3 full days come upon me, my stress has risen. And now it hath overflowed. Onto my face. First it was the most horrible acne outbreak of pretty much my whole life. The zit on my chin is going to enter every room 5-10 full minutes before I cross the threshold. DUDE.
And, wait for it, tonight, I realized that my eye was itching. And when I went to rub it, I felt it. The tell tale sore, swollen, warm lump. A stye. A stye in my eye.
If you’re going to blogher, or if you’re at LAX tomorrow, I’ll be the girl with the leprosy and lumpy eye. Pleased to meet you.
(I should gleefully add here that the stye is not noticeable anymore, which is possibly my one and only BlogHer miracle. It was almost immediately counteracted by a U-haul on fire. More on that another time.)

Welcome! I'm Katie, a 28 year old, full-time graduate student who just happened to have brain surgery in November of 2007 to give my ginormous brain a little more space. This blog chronicles my daily life, from relentless headaches to being a doctor's wife. Sit down, get comfortable and stay for a while.
Just keep buying everyone drinks and no one will notice much of anything.
Have a great weekend. Can’t wait to hear all that transpired, all that you learned, and all that you put yourself through.
The latter is usually the most entertaining. To us, that is.

It appears that the ONE thing bloggers do NOT do at a BlogHer conference is…
…BLOG!
