Brush Your BlogHer Blues Away
I’ve got a case of the every-blogger-I-read-but-me-going-to-BlogHer07 blues and the only cure is more cowbell!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_PILVkA0MY]
Ok, maybe not. I’m still feeling pretty envious. Damn my health insurance to Hades. I’d have the money to go if I wasn’t shelling out hundreds every month for the privilege of having health insurance not to mention the $4000 deductible which I am now in hock with the hospital for. Levi was my priciest kid yet! He’s lucky he’s cute.
If he was ugly I’d auction him off to pay the bills. The other children only cost us $400 a piece, they had the luxury of general crabbiness and vomiting copiously everywhere.
But since this is a done deal, since BlogHer started today, since I am still rotting in Florida pining for all my regular reads as they whoop it up in ChiTown, I need to break this malaise. I can’t think of a better way to kick this funk to the curb then a contest! (Ok, I can but it involves voodoo dolls, straight pins and meat hats)
Since all this bitterness over not going has left a bad taste in my mouth, I’m sure it has done the same to many of you. Fear not my mopey readers! Drop me a comment below, make sure to link to your blog and/or leave me your email address, and you will be entered to win a Brush Those BlogHer Blues Away gift pack featuring Preserve toothbrushes
Two lucky winners will receive multi packs of environmentally friendly Preserve toothbrushes as well as some other equally exciting natural mouth products. This is a one time entry open to US and Canada residents. The contest closes at 11:59pm eastern standard time on Sunday July 29th 2007.
And if you need more chances of winning to help kill the blues check out this and this (Levi’s bib in the above photo came from here, you’ll be hearing more about that soon enough)
And for those of you who aren’t ready to admit that they are jealous of those Blogher folks, you can wear your badge of blase courtesy of Damselfly 
To sum it up:
Want a chance to win one of two Brush Those BlogHer Blues Away gift packs featuring Preserve toothbrushes? Then drop your name and either your blog link or your email address in the comments of this post by 11:59pm EST Sunday July 29th. Even if you have no idea what BlogHer is or if you are a dude, you are welcome to enter. Good luck!

You know I don’t normally enter sweepstakes, but you mentioned meat hats so I just had to try my luck!

Oh Fidge … if one Blogher deserved it, it was YOU!
No contest for me, just condolences and the comfort of knowing there were a lot of us folks that didn’t get to go. AND to top it off … it’s in my hometown (double bummer for me).

I am in. I am also very bummed not to be there as well but like you finances and a reluctant husband have kept me home.

Add me to the Not At BlogHer Conference Club. Wah! sharonandkids at gmail dot com

Awwww… I really hoped you’d be able to attend. Next year, right? Right!
Thanks for dealing with your disappointment in such a generous way!

If it makes you feel any better, we pay $221 a month for major medical and have a $10K deductible on just about everything. Oh yeah — if I want another baby? Gotta pay for it all out of pocket because we don’t have a maternity rider (which is $400 a mo by itself). They’d pay for the c-section (since that’s considered a required surgery), but the rest? All us. Yeah. Maybe we should move to Canada.

I didn’t go to Blog Her either, it sucks
Maybe next year

I LOVE the look on Levi’s face! What a great shot! I love the bob too so I have to go check out that link now!

LOL! I’ve got a fever. The only cure is more cowebell….
July 26th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
I didn’t go either, and I am only 4 hours away.
Both of my kid cost somewhere around $25,000 a piece to bring into the world, of which insurance covers approx 80%. It takes forever to pay off the bills. AND they sent us to collection because the monthly payment plan we set up didn’t get entered into the system.
But I digress. I’ll enter. You know who I am….right?

Hee hee, great! Thanks for this fun contest to wash that bad taste out.
Glad you like the button too.

There’s a lot of disappointed people in the blogosphere.
Best wishes

I’d love to be at BlogHer, but alas…
Next year perhaps?
Levi is too cute. No, seriously. I think there are laws in Florida regarding the cuteness quotient of babies, and he is way above limit. Look it up.

Good idea! Loving the ‘not going’ theme everywhere!
July 27th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
I didn’t realize it was such a big deal until I started reading everyone’s posts about NOT going. Oh well.
Would LOVE to try out those toothbrushes. They look cool!

Ah, last year I was bummed I didn’t go. This year I hemmed and hawed over it, and I could have easily gone with relatives and friends right in the Windy City and all. But I don’t care one bit. Too many bloggers I’d want to hit with sloppy spitballs. OK just one or two who I probably wouldn’t even run into.
July 28th, 2007 at 1:27 pm
If it’s any consolation, I’m not going either. I’d be happy to just post a million blogs in dedication to you and your gloom.
Did you see Sicko yet?
