Today marks the day that I officially exhaust the pool of guilt favors my husband awarded me for relocating us to Ohio. I've definitely not been shy to use those favors. I started by jetting off to BlogHer in Chicago, then to a blogger meet and greet in Minneapolis, then a reunion with my college girlfriends in Atlantic City. And now this. The grand finale (for a while) of weekend trips away from my family.
And what a grand finale it will be! BlogHer Food in San Francisco!
When I found out I got off the wait list a month ago, I told my husband in passing, telling him I would give away my spot. But he insisted that I HAD to go, that I had to feed my passions, follow my dream, go for the gold.
And so I'm off. I'm giddy about the thought of spending two days talking about food, food writing, and food photography with people who are just as obsessed as I am. In addition to the customary business cards, my suitcase if filled with a dog eared print out of the program and a crisp copy of David Lebovitz' Sweet Life in Paris.
The conference is just one day, but the festitivities begin tonight at Sterling Vineyards in Napa Valley with a dinner with Rocco DiSpirito sponsored by Bertolli. Like Cinderella, I will be flying home at midnight on Saturday, but I'll be squeezing in a couple of other parties before that.
I'll do my best to live blog and share the foodie fun in the next couple of days. Stay tuned.
