Random and Cheeky

A little bit of random on this lovely Friday afternoon . . .

• If you're in or near Pittsburgh, you like beer, and you like wild animals, you should head over here and enter to win two Brew at the Zoo tickets. Go! Go! Go! I'll wait right here for you until you get back.

• Welcome back!

• I'm in Newark for work, and there just so happens to be a little tiny conference happening just up the street in New York City. I'll be wandering over that way late Friday and all day Saturday, so if you're at BlogHer, holla my way so I can stalk you.

• Speaking of social media conferences, PodCamp is going to be here before we know it. I hope you have registered to attend. In case you don't know, PodCamp is a free social media conference for people of all skill levels, experiences, backgrounds, etc. Bloggers, podcasters, tweeps, and Facebookers all stand to learn a little something-something and have fun. It doesn't matter if you maintain a site or enjoy sites maintained by others, I guarantee you will have a good time. I'll be speaking and I REALLY hate talking to empty rooms, so at least a few people need to show up, please and thank you.

• Why, yes, yes I am posting this early just so I can push down photos of myself in a swim suit. So what?

• I am not a clothes whore. At all. If you were to look through my closet, you would find pretty much nothing but jeans and solid-colored shirts. I am a chicken when it comes to fashion. (BAWK! BAWK!) I have a dream that one day I'll convince @spicymeatball to find me one perfect outfit that is completely outside of my comfort zone. As part of my attempts to con her into that little adventure, you should go vote for her to help her win a walk-on role on Mad Men. Please? It's two clicks, and if you're really nice, you'll do those two clicks daily until voting closes on September 17th.

• The new Old Navy commercials about booties smiling "cheek-to-cheek" creep me out so badly that I actually had a nightmare about a bunch of bare booties in a room making faces at each other. Analyze that, dream people. ::shudders::

• I talked to Alexis on the phone last night and our entire conversation was around what I was going to bring back from New York for her. I asked her what she did at school. She asked what the surprise was going to be. I asked her about what she was going to do with daddy all night. She suggested I bring her back a swimsuit. I asked her if her booty was smiling from cheek-to-cheek. She reminded me that I better not return home until I have a gift for her. HOW IS SHE NOT PHASED BY THE SMILING BOOTIES?

Other than my maternity clothes (which have taken over my closet), my normal clothes are all jeans and plain colored tees too. My sister keeps telling me I *need* to bring some patterns into my life. Bah, I say!

I would almost consider moving to Pittsburgh for a brew at the zoo event. That sounds right up my alley. Getting drunk and checkin out the critters. Of course the Pirates make a move to Pittsburgh impossible.

I hate that stupid commercial! Also - what are you bringing me back from NYC?

[Brooke G]

And so I had to scroll down and see the bathing suit photos - I must have missed that one. You look darling :D Have a fun weekend -that whole BlogHer thing sounds like a crazy good time!

[Elaine]

Oh man, I hope she's good with pens and reusable bags! ;0

Enjoy your time at the conference. :)

She poses like that just to amuse you. See? No smiling cheekies. Any where.
