So I'm glad I was there! Jenn - I guess Twitter is my form of text messaging. And even that I don't even have it on my phone. When I leave the house I am completely disconnected. And right now that's the way I like it to be. I don't need to be connected ALL the time or else I'd be truly in trouble. Florinda - It was great to meet you too! Now I can put more of a personality with your posts and picture you behind the computer! Darlene - I love putting faces behind the names. Makes it so much more personal. Meghan - Fun was had by all that's for sure! Jessica Marie - Between the ones in California and the ones I've met in Utah I don't know how I've been so lucky to meet so many. TexasRed - It is very exciting. I still have a couple of more posts to write about it too. KIm L. - Exactly! I was trying to explain that to a neighbor and they just looked like I was crazy. But it is crazy! Anna - They were all awesome! There personalities were just what you think they would be like. Heather J. - Oh yes, I'm a little camera happy at times! So glad you enjoyed the photos. Trish - Don't worry about this weekend. I know it was a fast and busy trip. I wish I had reasons to go to Dallas. One of these days we'll find a good time to meet. And there shall be a lot of squealing! My husband knows that in the past three years I have literally had no vacation and haven't been more than 70 miles away from the house (pathetic) and have never spent a night away from my kids. So I'm so happy that we was supportive. He was at our Utah book blogger party and thought everybody was really nice. So at least he knew that they were great people only if you only knew them online.

My husband things this whole blogging thing is weird (and I'm guessing mostly because it hogs too much time in the evenings, which I'm trying to be better about). I felt really bad about this weekend, Natasha. There has been a lot of stuff going on lately and it just wasn't the right time (way beyond blogging stuff). :( I'm hoping to be back to Utah sometime later this year since my grandparents aren't really able to travel anymore, so hopefully then we can meet up.

Wed, 06 May 2009 15:29:41 +0000 http://blog.mawbooks.com/?p=3006#comment-39612 THANK YOU for posting all those pictures! I really enjoyed reading all the other recaps of the day from the bloggers who attended, but most of them used the same few group pictures and it was hard to see individual people. I had such fun looking through all the ones you posted. And I'm totally jealous of you all since I couldn't be there. :( THANK YOU for posting all those pictures!

It would be so fun to meet some of the book bloggers in person.... sometimes I feel like they are just a character in a book rather than a real person ;) Awwww it looks like everyone had an amazing time!

But I know exactly what Lisa's talking about, although I'm more concerned about my chins than hers. SUCH a fun time - sorry I wasn't there for the whole weekend, but looking forward to next year (and regretting that I won't be going to BEA). Thanks for the chance to relive it one more time!
