Staying Sane Before BlogHer

Gawd!

T-Minus ohhh approximately 42 hours until I board teh plane to Chi town!  Supah excited… HOWEVER! In order for this here PROCRASTINATOR to get her ass in gear and settle down these thoughts prior to teh vacation, I neeeeed to do this to compile a list of “THINGS I HAVE YET TO DO and THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEEEE!”  Both lists are intertwined because…

Bare with me. 

And no laughing.

This list is in no particular order, it’s all flyin’ out in the order my little brain can think about it… it may vary from food to clothes to hygiene stuff to parties to pedicures to things you should know about me… rinse and repeat …

Don’t judge.

1.  Jammies
Oh, that’s right, I don’t have any cute ones to wear out in the public…eh, not public…you know…but considering you wouldn’t want to be caught dead with me in my raggy old tshirts and icky shorts or pants… yeah, Tim Gunn would NOT be proud.

2. Jeans
For real, I don’t have ANY jeans for the occasion.  The mother truckers don’t fit.  UGH.  I am making an emergency pitstop on my way home tonight to see if I can round up a pair or two.  I do have one pair at home however every time I bend over, you get the joys of see zee crackz.  Not pretty, promise.  Bring blind folds in case, and if you forget, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

3. Make up
*Pffffffffffffffffft!* This one is kinda funny because dood, I’m totally going STRAIGHT to Target cheapo section, and getting teh usual beauties because I.AM.CHEAP!  However, while in chi town and getting my hair/make up did by Nicole Roger’s for the LBD schtuff, I’m hoping I’ll love what she is going to do, and then maybe I can buy some!

4. Camera
Ugh, can’t find it.  Yeah.  Had it last week.  Can’t find it in my room, which it’s probably there and just under a whole bunch of crap.  Oh hush, you know how easy it is to just throw/toss when you want to take your clothes off after work and get into your comfy clothes.  OCD is not one of my things when it comes to my bedroom.  That’s what the door is for, duh.

5. Hairspray
Zee hairsprayz.  Yes!  Kidding… however, I do have to get some of my good stuff today or tomorrow.

6. Nail Appointment
I had acrylics on 2 weeks ago, however after they annoyed me so damn bad, I tore them off last night and mother effer that HURT.  I always end up tearing them off, I should know better, but whatever.  Gotta go get a new set put on tonight or tomorrow… $40 down the draino.

7. SHOES
Gahd, shoes… I don’t have the slightest clue.  I’m thinking I have all the ones I want, but who the heck knows.  I think I may need a seperate suitcase for just shoes and other miscellaneous crapola, but considering the cheapo airlines now charge $15 for first bag and $25 for 2nd bage for checked baggage… I’m going to stick with the 1 bag for $15. 

8. Clothes in General
Unless you want me to show up nakey, I have to get packing.  First though, I have to figure out what the heck it is that I’m bringing… so far I’ve thought about oh, a few skirts, a few tops, some jeans, sweatshirt that I do not have, uhm, what else?  Oh, I don’t know.  I do however know though, that I will be packing FAR too many items for the 4 days I am there, which will result in having to sit on teh suitcase in order for it to close. 

9. Mini Moos
GAH, CanNOT forget about my supah sweet cards… got them on Friday or Saturday to be exact, and they are purdy.  I better take one pack out and leave them in my purse for the airport, you know because we’ll all be aimlessly walking around, not knowing you just walked by me or that I just walked by you and then we’ll meet somewhere over the next few days and realized we … yeah.

10.  Luggage
Awww shizz, I just thought about all the free stuff we’re going to get and where in the hell I am going to put it all on the way back if #8 happens where I have to sit on my suitcase in order to close it, and that is on the way down.  May have to realign what items of clothing I am bringing… because duh, there is some awesome stuff to be bought and given and received and… okay, if I didn’t procrastinate like this maybe I wouldn’t be thinking about all these little what’if’s in the first place.

11. Things to pack for my carry on…
I know I’ll go spend too much money on stupid stuff that I THINK I’ll use or that I THINK will be beneficial to have with me on the ONE HOUR flight from MSP to ORD… stupid.  Shouldn’t even pack my laptop, but… I’ve seen the way those workers throw around our baggage on the tarmac and I think I would have a coronary if I looked down and noticed it was MY red suitcase flying through the air. 

12. Victoria Secret stop…
For undies.  Shut up, I know when you run out of them, you just go buy more too.  Right?  Well, and the simple fact that I totally suck at having cute undies and when I’m with 1,200 plus wimmins in Chicago, trying to feel cute like everyone else, WHO wants to be wearing granny panties?  Not I.

13.  Sticker for forehead tell you to come talk to me.
Because, HAI… I am shy, for about .22 milliseconds when we meet.  And you SHOULD come up to me and talk to me, or hit me, or introduce yourself… by your twitter name.  That’s how I roll.

14. I’m all about hugs…
But I’m terrified just to walk up to you and give you one.  Some people hate that and get weirded out by it.  I on the other hand, well… nah, you can hug me whenever you want… just know that if I don’t hug you first, it doesn’t mean I don’t like you.  Refer to #13!

15. Moviestar
I may or may not notice who you are, or recognize you… but if you come up to me, and introduce yourself, “Hai, I am… so and so” and I’m all, ZOMG!!!!!!1!!!1!! THE…so and so? Like, @ so and so on twitter?  and you’ll be all, “Ohhhhhhhhhhhkayyyyyy” and turn around and walk away.  For real, don’t do that… I just get a little excited, you know?!  Moviestar you are!

16. Alcohol
I love me some alcohol when I’m around the right people… or having a fun time… or in general.  My real life peeps likely don’t think that I do because I really don’t drink that often because I really don’t go out that often, but when I do… I like me some liquor.  I do NOT like beer, eww… but mixed drinks, any kind?  Yeah, send them my way.  I get very mello, happy, peppy, excited, E!x!c!l!a!m!a!t!i!o!n! point attitudish… yet, like I said, very mello… and I always seem to have those heart to heart conversations when I drink.  And then I get all emotional.  Sheesh.  Oh, and I need to bring my bottle of Cherry UV Vodka – well, I may just leave it at home and buy a bottle when I get down there.  Cherry UV with diet coke?  YUM-O!

17. Tylenol or something…
I need to buy that… and excedrin, extra strength for you know, the morning afters.  Hangovers a plenty in Chi-town and I do not want to have one… or more than one.

18. Jewelry
Pit stop tonight…. haven’t exactly figured out what type of Jewelry I’ll wear with my LBD!  Going to stop at a few places tonight… I’m wearing red shoes, so… something coordinating with that.

19. Luggage, AGAIN.
Just read AGAIN that I better pack light, and even maybe bring an extra bag.  I might have to just buck up and bring another bag.  Gah.  What are you doing?!

20.  Slippers or Jammie flip flops
For the down the hallway prancing in my PJs… oh yes.

21.  Electronic Items
Charger cords for my phone, laptop… uhm, OH! Camera, duh…

22. Confirmations
I have to print my airline stuff and lobbycon confirmation stuff… and make sure I have my ID and everything with me to get on teh plane!

23.  Not related to BlogHer…
…but, I think I will be taking a day off work tomorrow… I have a half day, but really?  Drive 45 minutes 1 way for 4 hours of work and pay $6.50 for parking for those 4 hours… meh.  I better get my ass moving, I’m pretty much caught up – just have today’s work to do…

24. ….to be continued because well, uh… refer to #23… and I’m having a brain fart… I’ll update tonight with party info, contact info, yada yada yada stuff!
