Blog Sugar '11.

Last night I attended Blog Sugar.

It was fantastic and oh so sweet!

From the decor to the food to the speakers, it was all fabulous.

When I first heard about Blog Sugar I was hesitant to go, so I asked my sister to go with me.

I'm not super outgoing and I knew if I had a friend with me I'd be more comfortable.

As I was getting ready, trying to decide what to wear and how to do my hair, I began to get nervous.

I was going to be meeting some serious bloggers, that are seriously awesome. 

My insecurities started to set in.

My blog is not big and fancy, I don't have an etsy shop, my pictures are not fantastic and my writing doesn't dive deep.

I felt that I was going to be a tiny fish in a huge pond.

But I was wrong.

Now that doesn't mean I wasn't a tiny star-stuck, (blog-struck?) when I met

Heather, Jules and Lisa Leonard.

I mean, they're pretty great, right? 

And I'm pretty sure I looked like a big dork talking to them. Fantastic.

Anyway, as I walked into the courtyard all my nervousness and insecure thoughts vanished. 

I was there and I wanted to have a good time.

I needed to make the most out of being there and I did.

I met a ton of fabulous ladies and I can not wait to learn more about them through their blogs.

I was inspired by the speakers.

I was encouraged to write and tell more.

I was challenged to do more personally and with my blog.

I walked away feeling welcomed, happy, and warm.

Thanks for an amazing night! 

When can we do this again?

Marking My Calendar.

Well I did it.

I registered for this, sure to be lovely, event.

It's a little ways away but I'm excited.

And my sister Erin is going with me. She just started blogging and I'm happy to have a friend to go with. 

In a few weeks I'll be seeing this pair in concert.

I grew up listening to Rod and Stevie and I can't wait to hear them live. 

It'll be awesome, I'm sure of it.

Then just a few days later I'm going to this.

If you've never heard a song of Mumford & Sons, get on iTunes right now and have a listen. 

I love them.

I listen to them everyday.

Ok, I'm a bit obsessed.

So needless to say, I'm so overly excited about seeing them live.

Plus, the whole concept of this tour is amazing. Check out their website here.

Last but not least, I'm seeing the cast of Glee live.

I imagine my ears will be happy for days and days upon hearing these fine people sing.

So there you have it. 

A few things that are filling up my calendar and making me one happy gal.
