Hello and welcome to the new and hopefully temporary digs of Friday Playdate. Blogger has decided that the ORIGINAL Friday Playdate is a spam blog, and has locked me out. I can draft but not post, and where’s the fun in that?
I’m blaming Chris for this whole situation; she linked to me twice in one week and tripled my traffic, which apparently is a sign to Blogger that you are Up to No Blogging Good. Also because she is so wee and pretty and funny and I’m sad that tomorrow when I wake up she won’t be right here throwing gang signs.
And yes, I realize that it’s time to get a new hosting service. If you have any suggestions, let’s hear ‘em. In the mean time, we’ll be hanging here. And fuming.
I have all sorts of things to tell you about Chicago and about the conference and about our hotel room which had a window that opened out of the bathroom and into the actual ROOM which made it a little awkward to pee (and never mind doing any OTHER sort of bathroomy business, if you get my drift). I had a fantastic time even though I was stalked by paparazzi and clearly in need of an exorcism. Or an intervention.
But tonight I’m really really tired because Chris and SJ made me stay up waaaaay too late every night, but tomorrow I will tell you about our $1,600 bar bill and the Nancy Drew Dress and the man who was jogging in his tighty whiteys.
I love Chicago. Blogger, however is On My List. Now who wants some cheap Viagra?

I think I read in Twitter that you’re in Okla. City. Is that true! I grew up there and have pity on you….. hope it’s better than it was 20 years ago!

Flippy and her partner Leighanne do my hosting and I’ve never had any problems. Give ‘em a holler

Hmm. Don’t ask how I found you. It wasn’t from the old place (of which we shall not speak) but I really love you more than I ever thought possible and yes, the best time was that first session sitting in the back and making snarky comments with you and your sexy voice.
Let’s do that again sometime.

I LOVE Bluehost with a WordPress plugin. I have had not one problem with either, and Bluehost support is amazing.
Sounds like a blast was had by all. Here’s to next year for me!

We just threw the doors open, and, sang sow tunes to signal the other person we were done.
As if the other person didn’t know we were done anyway.

We wasted a lot of water because of those damn shutters. (Ass exploding? Turn on the shower! No one will hear!)
I just wanted you to know how much I love you. I totally get what SJ is talking about now. She has always told me what an incredible person.

I miss you. That’s really all I can say right now. I keep expecting you to be just everywhere and you’re not and it makes me sad.

I was surprised when I clicked on my favorites and it brought me here. I was like where am I? Who is this that I am visiting? I was all disoriented.
I recently made the switch to WordPress and wondered why you took Friday Style off of WordPress and went with Blogger. I have been having problems of a different sort with Blogger. There is no way they would think I am a Spam blog, but it freezes my screen and that just cant keep happening.

Hosting Matters is my hosting company, though these other options sound lovely. I am just too lazy to move mine.
I can’t wait to hear about the $1600 bar bill. I am not surprised, with SJ around (*snort*).

Okay. I know the restaurant bill but not the official room tab. Am scared. Am digging the press of the word.
Also, yesterday, I fell asleep on the tarmac on the airplane before it even started. And thank you for packing my dildo in the baggie. It stayed nice and snug.

Ooooh, I miss you and your cute wrap dresses.
Also, Dreamhost and WordPress. It’s the new Brad and Jen. Or, wait, Brad and Angelina. Or whatever.

This new blog, it is adorable.

Love the new header. Am jealous of the wonderful time you had with friends. Must start building alcohol consumption ability before next year’s Blogher.

Gee, you’re awesome.

In an ironic twist, I was upgrading to WordPress from Blogger too!
I knew about the dinner bill, because I was there and all, but what’s this about a 1600.00 bar tab? I remember the drink trolley and the limoncellos, but I didn’t think I drank THAT much!!!
It was lovely to meet you. Must do that again. But with less walking.

So. Much. Fun.
I wish you lived next door.

You know what pissed me off about you? You can’t take a bad photo. *shakes fist* Darn you, and your adorableness!! OK, I wasn’t really pissed off, just an admirer. Plus you are just so kind. I want more, please.
