Just to go along with my total procrastination streak with BlogHer it only makes sense that I'm up at 3am writing this post. I will be in NYC in about 10 hours and I'm so freakin' excited! Having BlogHer in NYC is a total treat and an excuse to return to the city we were living in just two years ago. I'm sad to not be going with my favorite blogging ladies, Krissie and Miranda, but know that flying solo to the event will force me to step out of my comfort zone and mingle with all of the other bloggers going.
I'm typing out my agenda for the next six days right now and hope that if you're going and you're reading this we get to meet! On Friday and Saturday I will be attending all events at the hotel, I have a full pass and will pretty much be getting my moneys worth for the event. Here is my mapped out agenda for the weekend:
Friday Workshops:
10:30-11:45: Passions: Gen Y Passionistas-Making your passion "work" for you
1:15-2:30: Passions- This year you're in! Fashion Blogging is Serious Business.
2:45-4:00: Writing Lab: Good Blog Design: The Role of Layout in Blog Design (Grace Bonnie from Design Sponge!!!)
Followed with the keynote, reception and the people's party.
Saturday Workshops:
10:45-12:00: Writing Lab: How to use your blog to become a better writer
1:30-1:45: Fitness Blogging: Motivate yourself and your readers (Roni from Roni's Weigh is speaking!!)
3:00-4:15- Writing Lab: Humor Writing (I need this one!)
Saturday evening I plan to spend visiting friends. Sunday we are going to Coney Island, Monday maybe a trip to the old neighborhood and returning on Tuesday.
Now I need to pack...
See you there!
So jealous! I’ve never been to NYC. Have fun!
Sounds exciting. Have fun and feel free to share any tips when you get back.. NYC How exciting, my bff are planning a vacay there someday!
Hi Lorrie,
I’m the totally psycho girl you had the unfortunate experience of sitting next to at breakfast the other day! I’m sorry I was so crazy excited to meet you—I’ve been feeling lame ever since. I think I have a bit of celebrity psychosis. Hope you weren’t too weirded out! : ) Anyway, it was an honour to meet you. Hope you’ve had a great trip.

It was so great to meet you at BlogHer! We went to so many of the same sessions… I guess we have things in common.
I wish you still lived in Brooklyn (where I am now), but at least I can stay in touch via your great blog!
I hope you have the time of your life; lucky you!
Hey, I love your blog, I got it from Roni’s post about Blogher. I think you are rocking the dry humor. I have thyroid meds too, it;s a recent thing, so I’m always interested in how someone else deals with it.
So…uh…now I have nothing.
Hello!
I started reading your blog and have to tell you how much I love it. You are so funny and candid. I am on a weight loss journey at the moment and started my own blog. I find it to be such a wonderful outlet! Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and thanks for being so inspiring!

Those workshops sound so interesting! I didn’t have the guts to go to Blogher, but I love reading about other people’s experiences.
OMG, so sad i didn’t get to meet you at BlogHer… you’re one of the first bloggers who inspired me to become a blogger..
I had fun chatting with you at BlogHer. (Sorry if I overran the conversation.) Hope to read more posts from you soon!
The book is ‘The Renaissance Soul’ by Maragaret Lobenstine, and I thought of it immediately when you mentioned your question.
Whoops I posted that in the wrong spot! Sorry.
