How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Clinging To The Bliss

in Uncategorized on 10/17/11

I’m home.  Back from four nights and five days away from my family to attend Blissdom Canada.  Thanks to AccudDial for sponsoring me! Before I left I had the laundry up to date and the house ship shape.  You know, because I am such an amazing domestic goddess. 

Now that I’ve returned, I’m back to dog hair on the floor, crumbs on the counter, countless field trip forms and endless to-do lists.  Sigh, I’m exhausted and honestly, bordering on grumpy.  I’m in no shape to write up the powerful post that Blissdom deserves so for now….some pictures to try and show the friendships that were formed, the smiles that were shared and yes, the bliss.

Thanks to each and every incredible woman who spared a moment of their time to talk to me, inspired and shared of themselves.  Thanks for bringing the Bliss I will do my very best to hang on to it!

      Don’t you hate it when reality smacks you in the face and takes away the calm, relaxed feeling you had on vacation

      Seeing you & getting to hang with you makes me happy. I definitely want some quality time with you next conf/event/meetup. I think part of the reason Sat night & meeting Jordan Knight was so fun was because it was so unexpected! You are gorgeous!!

      Mmmmkay…I am so, soooo sad and so, soooo jealous!!! 😉 Looks like you all had such a blast! Wish I could have made it to the conference too, but happy to have made it to SCCTO just a few weeks earlier. You ladies look so stunning (hey, you’re all matching in the first pics!) and I’m glad you had so much fun! Steven and Chris!?!?! Jordan Knight!?!?! Cynthia and the rest of my fave tweeps (including YOU)!!! Wow. xoxox
