Back from BlogHer ‘08

For the first time since I started blogging, I took a long weekend off. Did you miss me?
The reason for my absence was a long weekend away – to attend BlogHer ‘08, held this year in San Francisco.
What great fun to see Christina, Kelly and Elizabeth again. We all met last year at BlogHer ‘07 in Chicago, and we had even more fun this year. And to meet Jody, Tracee and Kristen.
There were informative sessions, my favorite probably the one about photography. I learned a lot, and while I’ll struggle to put much of it into practice, I think I got a few good tips that will a good place to start.
In addition to the sessions, there was also plenty of opportunity for extra-curricular activities, including shopping in the Union Square area of the city (Macy’s, Gucci, Louis Vuitton), a walk down to the Nordstrom Center, and looking for a computer store located in the city (my laptop died).
Evenings were spent singing and carrying on at the nearby Irish pub, Lefty’s O’Doul’s.
Great people, great friends, great times!
Now I’m back – and back to blogging!
