{5 more sleeps until…}

BLISSDOM! It’s almost time to go!!! I got my hair did, I picked out my nail polish color, and I think I know what I’m wearing. I’m READY to meet you, to spend time with friends, to hug & chat & laugh & stay up late. And drink lots of coffee in the morning *wink*. Hooray for roommates such as this gal and this gal and this gal, and our honorary roomie — this lady. And… her.

OK, 5 quick things for me to remember:
1. bring business cards
2. smile — don’t look exhausted {getting out of the house *is* rare, but no one needs to know that…}
3. bring a photo of Bauer & Zack so I can kiss them goodnight
4. say hellooo to the people I want to meet {don’t just gawk}
5. five more sleeps — yeow!

    I’m completely jealous! Love your hair, love your creativity! I am just now learning about Blissdom and again with the jealousy because I am not that far away! Criminy – have I been under a rock? Blissdom is exactly what I need! Ugh, I’ll cry this year and vow to be there next year.

    You’re hair is super cute! I was just thinking, maybe I should get my hair cut like that. But my hair is straight without the wave. I’ll let you rock that style and just admire from afar. Have fun at Blissdom.

    Hi Gussy!

    I just found your blog and love it. I just started my first little online handmade business in September and am always looking for advice, encouragment on how to help it grow. So much good stuff here. And I saw that you have Joanne Heims button on your blog. How do you know her? She taught at a bible study I was in last spring. I’ve been praying for their family like crazy. Well just wanted to say hi. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I’m definitely going to check out blissdom. I’ve never heard of it before.

    This year will be my first Blissdom!! I learned about it last year as I was looking through my blogroll & read a post by Lisa saying she was (literally 2 miles away from where I was sitting) at the conference. Decided that it was probably something I should look into for this year since I was already so close in proximity. :)

    I’ve had a few chats with Stephanie Bryant lately — who speaks oh-so-highly of you :) — and am hoping to find a moment to meet up with her. Would LOVE to meet you as well!! Love your smile, love your ruffles, & boy would I love to talk with you about quitting that day job! :)

    You look fabulous, sounds like you’re all ready to go(LUCKY!) I am uber jealous that you’re rooming with Angie. I got to meet her in person this past spring and she was one I felt an instant connection to. We emailed a few times but after her DD was born life just took precedence. Have a blast!!!
