The day you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! My famous Uncle Paul has finally started his own blog! It’s called Redneck Latte Ravings and his hilarious first post explains exactly what a “redneck latte” IS and gives you a peek into what kind of witticisms you can expect from him on a daily basis. So click on over, bookmark him, and subscribe, so you don’t miss any of his caffeinated ruminations!

Oh, and also? You don’t want to miss his “about” page and 100 things!!

“…Come sit by me.”

This is one of my favorite lines I remember my famous Uncle Paul saying (perhaps repeatedly, UP?) over the years. As a result, he’s got lots of great tales to tell!

So allow me to spread a little HYPE around my corner of the blogosphere: in just a few short weeks, Uncle Paul, everyone’s favorite blog commenter, is starting his OWN blog!!

Now Uncle Paul is not a mommy, so it is not going to be a mommy blog. Although he IS a daddy, he is also an empty-nester. He even kicked the dog out. So the topics might not be what you are used to reading, but I promise you, they are going to be hilarious! I have already christened Uncle Paul “the heterosexual David Sedaris” as well as “the world’s first Baptist metrosexual”. I mean LOOK how TAN he is in this picture! Now I will admit I am quite white, but this level of Beach Bronze is not exactly in our family genes.

So…anyways…this is just a teaser! HYPE! Get excited! And I’ll let you know when UP makes his debut!

So, Emily and I went to BlogHer in Chicago this weekend. And it was, as we expected, AWESOME! The people, the parties, the SWAG…we ran from morning ’til night but it was SO worth it and SO fun! Some really super-awesome things happened, like – I slept with a pregnant lady and irony bit Emily in the butt (I’ll let her tell you about that). Also, we wore beautiful, stylish, comfortable Lands’ End clothing, shoes, and accessories. And if I do say so myself, we looked fabulous! And we FELT fabulous!

Thanks to the great people at Tide, I got to meet Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, and he said he “loved what I was doing with the red and pink” (I had on a pink skirt with this outfit) and that it “took guts” to pair colors like that and I was really “making it work”. So, don’t let anyone tell you that Lands’ End is not fashionable AND practical!!

We also got to give away Lands’ End gift certificates and pretty pretty Lands’ End earrings and necklaces to some of our fellow BlogHer attendees. Thanks so much to Lands’ End for sponsoring our trip!

I think my favorite thing about BlogHer was of course the PEOPLE!! We met many amazing ladies we’d been dying to meet and had a great time with those we already hang out with in “real life”.

There is so much more to say, but I am a little too brain-dead to say it right now – BUT! Stay tuned this week for more of our adventures from BlogHer!
