SheCon Blogger's Conference {My Ramblings!}

I went to SheCon and was super excited about the people I met at the conference but I have to tell ya if it were not local and free for me I would have been pretty disappointed.  The first thing that went terribly wrong was the date...apparently a HUGE Triple XXX convention was going on at the Miami Convention center this weekend?  Who Knew?  Well, apparently more people knew about that convention then knew about SheCon!

The downside - feeling terribly overweight and overdressed as a walked through the entrance to attend my convention....
The upside - the porno convention had an Awesome pink carpet welcoming you to their convention...I felt like a pretty pink princess for a minute :)

and yes...the whole time I am snapping pictures on my phone and sending them to my husband .... bet he will want to go to the next convention?!

The downside of the convention - my goodie bag did not have a schedule in it and I couldn't figure out what was going on when because everything seemed pretty empty.
The upside of the convention - I got to really look at some cool products and talk to the reps at each booth....You KNOW I headed straight to the "Liquid Gold" booth....ah.....New England Coffee and Bailey's creamer.....loving it....

The downside - there were not a lot of vendors in the vendor hall.
The upside - the vendors that were there were quality vendors!  American Standard, Wilson, Chevrolet to name a few!

The upside/upside - The Balancing Act had a booth at the convention and I love this show!  They are all about empowering woman and they helped us spread the word about organ donation a while back when our own little Savvy was the "star" of the show ... well...our segment ;)

Overall, I personally had a great time and met fabulous bloggers .... when I returned on Sunday the expo hall was already shut down at 10:30 am....it was not scheduled to open until 11 am.... the lack of bloggers in attendance was clearly something the vendors were not pleased with ... and I can't blame them!  It will be interesting to see what happens with this convention next year....well....atleast I know the porn convention is not going anywhere!  Who knew one could wear 9 inch heals with amazing balance?!

Things are Good! {My Ramblings...}

It has been a little while and I wanted to update you on why I was M.I.A.  Savvy has been sick for various reasons leading her in and out of the hospital.  The most severe being for internally bleeding.  Turns out she had varices in her esophagus that bled and required surgery.  Her "Gift"...her donor liver and her native veins have not grown up with her and so essentially there was a back flow of blood causing her to bleed internally. 

We flew to Philly so her transplant team could head her treatment and she had the balloon dilation (similar to angioplasty for the heart)...we had complications...they saw a clot, the was bleeding out and required a blood transfusion, and more details that I just don't care to relive...needless to say within hours of her surgery and minutes of a Massive amount of blood leaving my child's body she told the drs she needed a "boo boo sticker" for her "stinky foot"...yup....that is my kid!

We are home...she is home with the boogies...and let me tell you...I am thrilled to have a sick kid at home simply because it is "normal" sick kid stuff...the yucky aspect is that she is missing out on her swimming at school but the good thing is well....everything!

I will be returning to my blogging....and actually doing so with a BaNg since I will be attending SheCon this weekend!  I have to tell ya...NEVER did I think when I started blogging that I would be heading to a convention!! Yup...it is local and it is free to attend...you know me ;)
