Make Me Laugh Monday – Shadow Fail
G’mornin’ glories! It’s a new week! Did you have a good weekend? I sure hope you did! My Make Me Laugh Monday post is a picture from my weekend. I had the privilege of attenging the BlogHer ’09 conference in Chicago. *swoon*
Actually, I had MANY things that made me laugh about the conference, but I am still sorting through pictures and memories and business cards and and and… I may still have some wine or cocktails pulsing through my bloodstream. I’m not kidding.
So, one afternoon my pallies Chris and Kim over at 3 Giraffes and Diana at Of the Princess and the Pea were sauntering the streets of C-Town… seeking out a recomended Tapas restaurant. *Sangria!* I thought it would be cute to take a self-portrait of me being victimized by the wind in the Windy City. I was going for something like this:
That was nice right? Well, that wasn’t my first attempt. No. One could give my first attempt several different titles:
Self-Portrait Fail
or
I Gots Me Mah Baby Shadow On…
or…
You see the juxtaposition of my purse, my swag bag, my phone and the bright flaming orb we refer to as “the Sun” all aligned their agenda in such a way that one might have thought I was getting something other than my conference “on” while away from my family. No. It was just a cruel trick of the universe.
Although *scratching head* after that trip that shadow “baby bump” could have been my Liquor Baby. Those blog people pour that stuff like it’s going out of style. I love me mah blog people. Now I must away. It is time to google “liver cleanse”. Just kidding. A little. But it seems I do need to go scan the interwebz. Word on the onlines (And So She Blogs) is there may be a video or two of me dancing at Sparklecorn. I also need to hunt down any evidence of my karaoke at the BlogHer cocktail party from Friday night where I rocked the mic like a vandal and sang “Ice Ice Baby”. IRL, memories are just memories… in blog-conference land… memories have lives of their own…

You are adorable, and I imagine your purse baby is, too. I love purse babies because they never cry or whine, they just eat all the receipts, lip glosses and mangled up granola bars I can shove in them.
“Does this shadow make my butt look big?”
Yes…and pregnant!
So…at this Blogher thing…is this free booze they offer? ‘Cause I might need to make this a priority for next year if that is the case…can’t pass up free booze…
Oooo….I do remember you singing that song! Mrs. P just kind of bobbed up and down. Someone fit her inside the photo booth! I had fun meeting you at Blog Her. Here’s a funny picture I once posted: http://motherventureadventures.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html
Have a great day!
Ooooooooohhhhhhh, how SSSWEEEEEEEETT!! How many months are you?!?!
Congratulations!!! I’m sure your husband was as surprised as you!:)
Oh, and you know that the windy city isn’t because of the wind, right? It has something to do with politicians being full of hot air, or something like that.
Personally I have yet to walk through the canyons of skyscrapers and not felt the wind, so what do historians know, right?
Free booze? Can us boys go?
LOL
Love pic #1 – you can see your pink locks so much better!
