Chirky: DFW BlogHer Meetup

I think the best part of the Dallas bloggers meetup was not spilling food on myself. (Have I mentioned how messy I've become lately? I think it's nature's way of preparing me for motherhood. I can rarely go through a day without finding food somewhere on my shirt.)

Okay, well, no. Maybe the best part of the meetup was getting to know all the great bloggers who came out to meet each other! It was a small group, but was fabulous because we had the opportunity to get to know each other, hang out and talk, learn about each other's blogs, and have great conversations about everything from driving traffic to your site, to rodeo queens and big hair, to privacy and censorship, to summertime TV, to topical blogging, to parenthood, to BlogHer. We had a fun giveaway with several gift certificates to places like Charming Charlie, Sip-n-Swap and Target. And then we promised to do it all again soon, very soon. (If you want in on the action, join the Dallas BlogHer group.)

Here's the list of everyone who attended - it was so fun to meet you all!

Jenny from Conscientious Confusion and A Family Is Us
Anuja from Show me the Curry
Hetal from Show me the Curry
Vanessa from Crazy Says What and The Aisle Files
Colleen from Anything But Nice
Jen from The Trendy Mommy and Sip-n-Swap
Marjorie from My Inner French Girl
Kerri from A-Yet-To-Be-Announced-Blog
Bobbi Janay from When Did I Go From Kid to Grown Up?
And, of course, me.

Pics are here and here.

Once again, thanks so much for organizing this event and it was great to meet you. I had such a fantastic time and can't wait to see everyone again. I know I'll see a few at Sip n Swap on Tuesday, but I almost feel like we should do a ladies night out (or in) because it was so much fun.
