So when I got home on Saturday I kissed my driveway and vowed I wouldn’t leave again for a long, long time. And then I remembered that I’m flying to Nashville on Tuesday. Which is today if you’re reading this after midnight and you are because I’m auto-posting it to go up after midnight.
Not only am I flying to Nashville, I’m leaving on a 6:45 a.m. flight. For those of you doing the math at home that means I have to leave my house at 5:30.
Rumor has it that it’s still dark at 5:30.
I wouldn’t know because it’s an hour I try desperately to avoid.
In case you’re wondering, I’m going to Nashville to film a little intro video for the DotMom Conference that will be in Birmingham, Alabama on September 21-22. You can find out more about it if you click over to the DotMom page.
(I mean you can find out more about DotMom, not the intro video I’m filming because I have no idea what it’s going to involve. Other than bad acting.)
And I’ve learned in all my travels that it really helps to pack a bag full of clothes when you fly somewhere but that still hasn’t motivated me to get to the actual packing portion of my trip preparation. I keep hoping that a house elf will show up and pack my bags and my owl for me.
(Shout out to Harry Potter.)
Anyway, I’ve made the executive decision to not bring my computer with me. I don’t think I’ll really have time to use it and it just seems like one more thing I have to drag through security and I don’t want to mess with it.
What I’m saying is I’m not going to blog again until Friday.
So I’ll see you then. Unless you happen to be on my 6:45 a.m. flight to Nashville. But, let’s be honest, I’ll be functioning at about one quarter capacity at that hour. And possibly resting my head on a stranger’s shoulder while I sleep. That shouldn’t be awkward.
Y’all have a great week.

I once was on a flight and was fighting a cold at the time. I looked like death, but didn’t think much of it. When we landed, I woke up with my head on a stranger’s shoulder next to me. I didn’t even remember falling asleep and I was mortified, but the woman was super sweet and said she was a momma who knew a sick child when she saw one. I couldn’t believe I slept on her shoulder for close to an hour!
Everyone knows pre-7am flights require double doses of caffeine.
I was registered to go to the DotMom conference last year but backed out at the last moment. Living in Birmingham I just received the flyer for the one this year. I will have to check it out… thanks for the reminder.
I went last year and it was SO good!!!! Try at all costs to go because there is nothing funnier than Big mama and Boo mama! And that just gets the party started. YOU HAVE TO COME TO .MOM
Okay, I will forgive you. But only because I have done much healing over the past four years, so I think I can make it a few days without you. In 2008, I would have probably emailed you novellas until you returned. Love ya – be safe!
I hope to make it to the dotmom twitter party tonight. I’m so good at missing these suckers!
I wish for a house elf on a daily basis. Especially at dinner time. Safe travels!
Just got home from the FH Bloggers trip…over 30 hours of travel, and I’m so thankful not to have to get on another plane until next month. Hope you have a fun trip
Mmmmm Hmmmm. You will be attempting to blog on your smart phone. At least I hope so. This sounds like one of those events that will be a hilarious post later in the week. I can’t wait to hear all about it!
You are going to stop at SATco while you’re in Nashvegas right? I have fond college memories of queso and fresh tortillas. Have some for me!
So glad you mentioned the .mom conference. Last year’s conference was outstanding.
I will be in the exhibit area promoting Mom to Mom. I will also be participating on LifeWay’s Mom Squad. Would love to meet you. In the meantime if you have the opportunity, I am inviting you to visit our blog site, passthebreadmom.com.
