The other day, we were standing in our front yard when Eli began looking up at the sky. That is when he stopped and I could see his brain wheels churning. Then he giggled:
Hey Mom, did you know that the Sun is the Earth’s lightbulb?
Of course I asked him if he learned this amazing fact on television and he giggled once more and replied,
Nope, I just thought of it myself.
The boys have found their Halloween costumes and have put them on. I have just re-painted my toenails because I seriously smudged my hot and sexy pedicure. I don’t get pedicures often, but I wanted one for this weekend. Why? Because I bought myself a last minute plane ticket and I am going to Blogher. I still can’t believe I am going, but thanks to good people, I am. I am nervous and nervous to leave my boys. If you happen to be reading this and also happen to be going to Blogher, if you see me, please stop and say hello or drop me comment or an email. Sometimes I am shy and sometimes I am terribly deep in thought.
P.S. I have felt better this week. Oddly enough, my Yoda post really helped. Thank you all for your input. It really does make a difference.
Hey Beth, that’s a lovely photo of the two (four!) of you. I hope you have a wonderful time at Blogher!
Yes, Beth, have a wonderful time. I’m sure you will miss your boys, but it is sure to be a time of fulfilling refueling for you, both as a woman and as an amazingly talented blogger. We love you!
I’m so happy to hear that you’re feeling better! You look so bright in the photo!
Hey Beth- have fun at Blogher!
You look really hot in that pix! And I mean that in a totally non-gay way!
🙂
I’m so excited that your going. Yea Beth. And to echo the above, you look great in that photo. I wish we were going together, or you were coming here.
Love you.
I am jealous. I wish I could go.
You’re so beautiful, Beth!
I just finished painting my toes and they look like CRAP.
I’ll be at blogher too, so HAPPY to know you’ll be there.

I’ll be at BlogHer tonight! I’ll come up and say hi if I can think of something interesting and relevant to say in place of “You are cool! Let’s be friends!” I’ll be the one with the split ends. 🙂
Awesomeness! Have a kick-ass time! You two are so young and beautiful. 🙂
Hi Beth, You will be coming to my hometown for Blogher. You will be missing the heatwave…..thank God for that…last weekend it was 108 around here. Hope that you have a great time here, you could sure use the break and a change of scenery. Enjoy

“You look really hot in that pix! And I mean that in a totally non-gay way!”
And I mean it in a totally gay way. What? Someone had to say it and why not me, the gay. 😉
I hope you’re having a good time at BlogHer and that Y is doing The Worm for you.
Beth, I’m at BlogHer, too, and I took the same path (left my kids in SLC). I don’t see you at the moment (Keynote Address), but I saw your post over the shoulder of my friend Jessica, and I wanted to give you the hello you asked for.”
Hey, Girl! Way to stick up for mommy bloggers today in the session. You rock!
Beth-It was great to meet you face-to-face (and no, you weren’t shorter than I thought you’d be). I’m only sorry I didn’t get to talk to you more. Hope you had a wonderful time.
Beth, YEA for admitting we all want to be heard (mommyblogging panel). When Jessica and I heard you murmuring “Yes, we DO CARE what our readers think” it was all we could do not to push you out of your chair to get you to a microphone!
Your boys are beautiful. I left a 9,6, and 3 year old behind to go to Blogher. It seems they’ve survived without me … who would’ve thought?
