Chicago, Chicago, I'm going to Chicago & BowlHer

Thank you to Collective Bias and Campbell’s for sending me to Chicago next week.

During the BowlHer, #GNO twitter party this past Tuesday I entered a contest by tweeting my favorite fast and easy family recipe (under $10) to John Andrews of Collective Bias. This was my entry:

I’m the girl who never wins anything, so I didn’t even think about it again after I sent the recipe. When John Andrews called me the next day, I was in SHOCK. I was so excited, I couldn’t get the words out fast enough to tell my husband.

I wasn’t sure how Jason was going to feel about me leaving for a few days over his birthday. Yes, I said I’m going to be partying at BowlHer in Chicago while my husband is at home with our 4 kids on his BIRTHDAY!! I have the best husband in the world.

My mind is still racing because I am a planner. I need weeks and weeks to prepare for trips and this one came out of the blue so my mind is working on overtime. I’m nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. I have to go shopping for real clothes and get business cards printed, get a haircut and a thousand other things that are on my To Do list.

Ultimately, I am so excited about this trip because I get to finally meet so many of the people that I have met online. If you see a short chick with long blonde hair and a purple iPhone in hand, stop me and introduce yourself.

I will be uploading pictures and blogging during my trip, so you can come with me on my journey. Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
