BlogHer Prep

I got highlights last week (with a new stylist in my ongoing pursuit of a good hairstylist).

I did laundry on Tuesday so my one pair of jeans that mostly fits was clean as well as my other pair of jeans that almost mostly fits.

Today: I got a mani, pedi, and eyebrow wax and bought some jewelry at Target so I could jazz up my outfits.  I can't afford new shirts and shoes right now because I haven't gotten any maternity pay in a month (eep) so I'll be wearing stuff I already owned, which is fine.  It actually feels more genuine, in a way.  And I'm excited to have new jewelry to wear.  I even bought two "statement rings" - something I never wear.  It'll be a fun little edge to add to my normal way of dressing.  I even bought new mascara and lip gloss (lip gloss being something else I rarely wear).  And I bought a belt so that my jeans that nearly fit can at least stay up.

I've already put my conference pass in my purse because my fear is getting there and realizing I forgot it.  I left myself a note reminding myself to leave Kate my house and car keys so she can take Nate for a walk with the stroller tomorrow if she wants to (and if it's not a zillion degrees).  I explained to Nate that Mommy will be away for two days, but she'll be home for bedtime (he falls asleep every night between 11pm and midnight).  Then I cried.  (Yes, the mascara I bought is waterproof because I'm pretty sure I'll cry a few times in the next two days.)

I think I'm as ready as I could be.  I know what I'm wearing, when I'm leaving, where I'm going, what I'm seeing when I get there, and who I'll be missing.  Bring it on, BlogHer!

So jealous. So, so, so, so jealous. I would put my pass in my purse early, too. I want details!
