OMG! Here She is, Mess America!
When I was a little girl, I'd wake up, walk slowly down the stairs with my infamously wild bed-head and my mother would sing, "There she is, Mess America." It became my morning theme-song. That and the bed-head look stick with me today as I received news that I've been selected by Dawn at Alex Year Two to receive a scholarship to attend BlogHer '09. I immediately called my mom, who said without me asking, "I'll buy your train ticket" as I explained it would be $272 to just get there.
"Third-Hand" Smoke Hurts Kids and Adults
When I heard about the recent study on the health risks of "third-hand" smoke, I admit I was puzzled. I've heard of second-hand smoke, but what exactly is third-hand smoke?

False Courage (The Internet, not Alcohol)
It is hard to make friends. It just is. It took me the first two years of college to make good friends, and before I knew it I was graduated, married and not living with those friends I had made. I'm not the most personable, I'm often accused of being mean (i like to call it overly-honest) and I don't make a whole lot of compromises when it comes to the kind of people I like.
After graduation, I started a job at a company where I knew no one, and everyone there had loads more experience than me. I thought I would never get to know anyone.
The BlogHer Business Conference will take place on Thursday, July 23. Details, including the agenda, will be available by December 15th. You can review last year's BlogHer Business agenda here.
Now in its third year, the BlogHer Business Conference is an annual "crash course" on best practices for reaching the most influential and powerful consumers -- women online -- in the quickly evolving social media world.
Attendees find themselves on fertile ground for innovative ideas, interacting with a mix of social media experts, business bloggers, and brand marketers who have experience building campaigns and working in social media environments.
The BlogHer Business audience is comprised of several key groups:
* Brand marketers working within corporations * Communications/PR professionals * Media buying executives * Business bloggers/social media consultants
This event is kept at a smaller size (150-200 attendees) to facilitate deeper discussion and more valuable networking.

Building on the momentum of four consecutive sold-out annual conferences, BlogHer '09 will bring bloggers from every corner of the blogosphere together for hands-on learning, rich discussions, opportunities to meet with the brands that support them and plentiful networking opportunities. BlogHer ’09 will take place on July 23-25, bringing over one thousand attendees together to celebrate 2009’s theme: “In Real Life.”
One of the number one reasons we all attend BlogHer every year, whether coming for the first time or as an old-timer, is to meet our online community "in real life". So after five years we think it's a great time to celebrate the fact that our blogging, whether personal, professional or political, has brought us real work, real friends, real satisfaction and is most definitely a significant part of our real life!
BlogHer '09 will be at the The Chicago Sheraton and Towers from July 23-25, 2009. We will kick off on Thursday July 23rd with out third annual BlogHer Business Conference, and will continue with the two-day 5th annual BlogHer Annual Conference on Friday and Saturday, July 24-25.
