Blog On

I helped out as a rep during this past week's press event, and my assignment was helping corral the 'Social Media Moms Celebration' conference that coincided with the press event. At first I thought these were just moms who blogged about Disney and life as a mom, but it turns out most of them are all making money off their blogs. The 150-ish moms listened to a bunch of different speakers (the CEO of Build-A-Bear, Kathy Ireland) and networked with each other, learning the best ways to use social media to their advantage. I listened to a man (Guy Kawasaki, who they all knew and were excited to see) speak for an hour about Twitter and how to use it to sell yourself. I never knew that much thought went into tweeting! Of course, I thought mulitple times that all of my favorite mom bloggers should be doing the same thing. You're all so entertaining and crafty, so what are you waiting for?!?
I hope you all keep popping out kids because at this rate, your kids will be in college by the time I have children and they won't want anything to do with mine! I guess if all else fails I'll have babysitters ready to go. : )
In non-kid/mom related news, I need a new vacation to plan. I mean, Keri has like 17 planned for the year, I feel way behind! I'm probably going to Vegas in September, but I need something in between. Although I will most likely be moving in June since Lauren is moving to Jacksonville, so I should probably cool it on vacation planning since I'll have moving expenses to deal with. Ugh. I hate moving so much!
Alright, gotta go focus on the TV..Hoarders is about to start. That show is totally addictive and makes me want to clean out my closet immediately!

Hello 2010

I am terrible at keeping up with this blog. Clearly. My last post was in August. Part of the issue is that my computer is retarded and decides to not connect to the internet when I turn it on. I have to go in and set up a new connection, and it doesn't always work on the first try. Stupid wireless internet. I think it may be time to upgrade my computer. Since my computer is a pain, I use my lovely new iphone for most internet things, but I mostly use it for email, Facebook, Weather Channel, and TMZ. (All of the important things in life.) Anyway, that's my excuse.

I'm so over this cold weather. It just reinforces my desire to never live in a cold place. My hands are constantly freezing and my skin is dry, I haven't run in two weeks, and I'm running out of sweaters. Plus it took me an extra 15 minutes this morning to leave when there was a thick layer of ice on my windshield. Thank goodness for CD cases..they make excellent ice scrapers. Thankfully I am getting out of this state and headed to LA for the weekend to get some warmer temperatures. : ) Just a short weekend trip to visit my friend Keith and hit up Disneyland. I'm excited to go back since it's been a few years, and I love me an In-N-Out Burger!!!

I worked today to help with a film shoot at DisneyQuest for a family from Extreme Makeover Home Edition. It's an amazing family and I loved them before I even met them after seeing their video. Here's a link to part of their story, hopefully it will work so you can see how great they are! https://www.box.net/shared/dhffci1ee7 While they're here, Disney is planning a fairy-tale wedding for them, since they never had a real wedding. We're talking Cinderella's coach and all. The production manager invited me to go, so I will definitely be doing that! Seeing how weepy I got watching their video, I will have to bring a box of tissues to the wedding!

I will try to make it a little less time before my next post. Can't guarantee anything though!
