I’ll Have What She’s Having…
I was chatting with Karen on Twitter last night when she told me about entering a sponsorship opportunity, hosted by An Island Life and on Barefoot Mommies, for BlogHer.
My jaw dropped at the amount. Energizer is offering $2000 sponsorship for BlogHer expenses. OMG. This is the stuff that dreams are made of!
My first thought was ‘Thanks Karen. Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into,” because, of course, now I have to enter it. That’s a lot of money when it comes to a conference on the other side of the continent and in another country. I know there’s no place like home, but who doesn’t want to experience NYC at least once?
So when I woke up this morning, I looked in the mirror and asked myself ‘Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”. Maybe.
But then again, what do I have to lose? I wish I had unlimited everything at my disposal, but it’s not like I’m Bond….James Bond or anything. And in lieu of a sports car with guns in it, $2000 would be awesome.
It would certainly help out more than just me. It’s not like I’m being greedy, even though greed, for lack of a better word, is good. $2000 would cover the room costs and give my three roomies some extra spending money too. Just think of how many martini’s $2K would buy (Shaken, not stirred, of course)
I could also use some of that money to buy a couple of Energizer Smart Chargers. Because 4 people in a room, + 4 laptops, +4 cameras, + 4 cell phones, + 4 of a lot of other things = a lot of battery power.
But then I realized, Houston, we have a problem. I have to come up with something interesting enough to grab their attention.
I’m not the type to jump up and down on a couch screaming ‘show me the money!‘
I really don’t have any special amazing talents. It’s not like I see dead people (that’s Vista’s forte).
I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.
So, I’m really hoping An Island Life and on Barefoot Mommies read this post and immediately think “You had me at ‘hello’”.
But even if I don’t win, we’ll always have Paris NYC
**I’ve hate asking you guys to retweet anything for me, but I’m asking now, cause, OMG, $2000! Could you let Kailani and BarefootMomma know that they should pick me for one of the sponsorship opportunities and use the hashtag #energizer? I’ll love you forever! xoxo**
Good luck!

DUDE!!! IF i were stil on twitter I would so re-tweet this for you, because you so deserve it!!! Best of wish mama!
This post made me giggle.
A) Because I don’t really understand any of it – I am your totally non-geek friend. But I DO understand 2 grand, and
