Today I’m linking up with our friend Amanda from OhAmanda.com and her Top Ten {Tuesday}. BlogHer ’09 is right around the corner and Jenny and I are pumped. Here are the Top Ten things I’m excited about (at this moment. Subject to change 359 times between now and next Thursday), in no particular order.
1. The Luncheon – OHio Style, hosted by our very own Amy in OHio, at Dick’s Last Resort. I’m super excited about this luncheon not only because I’ll be surrounded by 75 of my closest current and soon-to-be BFFs, but also because I’m dragging my husband along and can’t wait to hear what the not-so-courteous staff at Dick’s has to say to the only man sitting within a group of 75 women.
2. Dinner with the Fab 15 and our fab guests at Carnivale, courtesy of Only in a Woman’s World and Frito Lay. I’ve already got the drink menu memorized.
3. Going out on the town with Andy on his birthday… we’re still trying to decide where to go to dinner, so if you have suggestions, throw them my way!
4. Partying with mah girls from Room 704.
5. Spending the weekend with my virtual–turned–in–real–life BFFs.
6. Reuniting with the Magical Moms.
7. Meeting people who I feel I’ve known for years for the first time.
8. Having someone make my bed for me. (And seriously, the beds at the Sheraton? I am hoping one will be included in the swag bag.)
9. The intellectual discussions about how to advance my blog and myself through SEO, creatives, affiliate marketing and all avenues of social media. (Did anyone buy that? I didn’t either. I copied it from Amy.)
and last, but certainly not least… (and not really even last – I could go on, but it’s called Top TEN Tuesday, not top 359 Tuesday)…
10. Jenny and me sporting our amazing new wardrobe from Lands End, our fantastic BlogHer sponsor.
So there you have it. Needless to say, we are a little excited about our upcoming trip. We’ll try not to be toooo geeky about it for the next couple weeks, we promise. But you know us, so you know how much stock to put in that statement!
All of that sounds wonderful!! I’ve never been to the area, so I can’t recommend restaurants … but either way, I’m sure you’ll have a blast!
Yeah ba-bay!!! Can NOT wait!!!
Can’t wait!! It sounds like you have lots of fun stuff planned too! I am really looking forward to all of the fun too!!

The Chicago Chop House on Ontario — usually makes those “best steak houses in the US” lists. LOVE it. It’s a little on the expensive side, though — check out http://www.chicagochophouse.com
Ditto Ditto Ditto – love ya lady!
So excited as well! 9 days, baby. 9 days!
See you in Chicago!
blah blah blah.
Bloher this. Bloger that.

can’t wait to see you girls again! This time I am not getting the giant salad, because none can top that last one I had.
The Dick’s Last Resort in Chicago is sooooo much fun! I’m super jealous!
