**Mrs Fussypants and I after all the swag bags had finally been filled**
It’s going to take some time to come down from the high that was Blissdom 09, because despite the estrogen and pink overload (Lord have mercy) it was really truly an incredible weekend. Were you there? Leave your link in the comments so we can all find you and read about your experience!
I have a unique perspective since I wasn’t exactly an “attendee”, but worked the event with my fellow One2One Network cohorts. As a blogger and writer and social media addict, I was able to really notice and appreciate what I witnessed around me. Connections, relationships. Love being actualized, as each woman met that bloggy friend/crush that she had admired and read and adored. It was really special to witness from the outside looking in, as I ran back and forth, and helped make sure things ran as smoothly as possible.
I knew what surprises were in store for everyone, and had such a blast watching their faces as the fun (or, ahem, men) unfolded.
I have more to share, so many beautiful faces to tell you about, generous sponsors to thank, and more. I also still owe you fabulous Disney Cruise stories, and so much more. All of it will be worth the wait. Promise.
For now I’m cuddling my almost 7yr old (something he has never wanted to do…sometimes being away has it’s perks) and recovering from a bit of the BlissFlu. Be sure to watch the BlissDom conference site for pics, and don’t forget that you can buy transcripts to all the sessions (including the one I moderated on Writing/Passion and the one I spoke on, Branding).

I had a wonderful time! Just wish we would have had more time to hang out, but SXSW is coming up fast. Thanks for mentioning the transcripts. I think they'll be a wonderful resource for both attendees and non-attendees!

What a great conference. I think we should all use our Lands End canvas bags at BlogHer. It would be like a secret handshake.

I had an amazing time – but finding that my BlissDom post is slow to come. I don't know yet how to put into words how amazing it was to connect with people, who I had basically been connecting with for some time now. To be face to face with the peeps I have grown to adore was complete fabulousness. I give a lot of credit to One2One and absolutely to Allison because I know a ton of planning went into this event. And MUCH LOVE to the sponsors who showed US much love. Too awesome.

It sounds like you had a fabulous time! I can't wait to hear your full "re-cap."
So, I'm curious. What was in that Swag Bag? ;)

Arianne… I totally wrote your name wrong in my post. I was rereading something and glanced and saw that I had written Adrienne when I full well know it is Arianne. Anyway… know it is fixed. Also, I appreciated your comment ;)!
The iPod Touch is a phenomenal giveaway. I will definitely tweet about it for you!
Happy Valentine's Week <3

I hope I get to go next year! It looks like you guys all had so much fun!

Man I wish I could have gone! Why is there nothing like this in Oklahoma or the Dallas area??

THIS year, you are going to have a really really annoying leech–ahem-FRIEND following you everywhere.
But that is just because I love you and didn’t get nearly enough of you at Type A Mom—which was like, totally the beginning of it all:)
I just found out that I am like 99% sure of getting a ticket—and I wanted to tell you first<3 Consider me booked for tears, snuggles and TALKS
(or listens….or silence…whatever you need).
I am so grateful for you.
