I never win anything.  I have loved the world of blog contests because my 30 years of bad luck have turned around and I’ve picked up some nice prizes, but I just won the most awesome prize ever!  You might remember me telling you about the biggest contest I had ever posted.  It was the chance to win trips to BlogHer 09 sponsored by the mom blogs, MomDot and Momma Findings along with  Label Daddy.  Between them they were giving away a complete sponsorship (flight, hotel, and conference fees) and two convention fee scholarships.  

You won’t believe this, but I WON the portion hosted on the MomDot site.  Yes, you are reading correctly.  Thanks to Label Daddy and MomDot, I will be at BlogHer 09.  I had really not even allowed myself to think about BlogHer that much as I knew it was just out of the question, but now I am going.  I will be there. I WILL BE AT BLOGHER 09!!  I have known for a couple hours now, and I’m still as shocked and speechless as I was when Trisha told me. I can’t wait.  I’ve downloaded Ding from Southwest to start watching airfare prices. I pulled up the hotel information tonight too and will book that on the next payday (come on March 15).

So – who else is going? When are you arriving?  I can’t wait to meet all the ladies who are going (or still hope to go) in my favorite mom forum and pick up as many tips for blogging as I can.  It’s still a while away, but I’ll be doing lots of posting so that all of you can experience it through my eyes.

Wanting to go, but need some help to get there too? Be sure to show up at Friday Night Live where Trisha will be giving out tips for gaining sponsorship to Blogher. I’m going to be there taking very close notes (hey! maybe I could find someone to sponsor a portion of my airfare or hotel – you never know)!
