The other night I sent out a Tweet saying that I needed a picture of myself and since I don’t have a Casey or a Mishi nearby, I was forced to self pic it.

I  twitpic’d it and asked for honest opinions.  The responses that I received both in DM’s and Tweets were overwhelming and made my heart grow two sizes.  A few tweets asked what the picture was for, but I couldn’t say, until now!

I’M GOING TO BLOGHER!!!! SQUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

yes, all caps is completely necessary

I won a Kodak #printprosper BlogHer Scholarship!!!

I was absolutely devastated when the economy kicked me in the dream and I had to pull out of BlogHer this year but, I threw caution to the wind and entered this contest, never thinking that I would actually win.  BUT, I DID!

I’M GOING TO BLOGHER!!!

I get to finally hang out with girls I met and fell in love with at BlissDom and I get to FINALLY  meet so many others who I have been following, reading and connecting with for the last year and a half.  We’ve touched each other’s hearts, laughed together, cried together and rejoiced together yet, we’ve never actually touched hands or shared a hug.  Finally.. Finally I get to do it.

The joy in my heart is overflowing and the grin on my face.. it ain’t goin’ anywhere.

    If you happen to recognize me before I recognize you, I demand that you yell at me and tackle me before I even know who you are. I’m really bad with faces.
