Top Ten Tuesday- Getting Ready for Blissdom


I leave for Blissdom in two days...that means I only have two days to finish getting ready for my trip! What better way to get ready than with a list...especially since I am NOT an organized girl.

1. Spray Tan- Today I have a woman coming to my house to give me a spray tan. I won this from a local spa for coming to their open house. I am very excited, but also nervous. I have never gotten a spray tan before and I don't know what to expect. I really don't want to look like a cheese doodle!

2. Haircut- I had an appointment to have my hair cut by my favorite stylist Naomi over at Salon Three-13 on Saturday, but I cancelled it because I'm trying to get it a little longer...now I'm having major reservations. My hair is not doing what I want it to. Hopefully my sisterchick Amanda can help me out since hers has been longer than mine for a while and we share stylists.

3. Laptop- Obviously, since it's a blogging conference, I need to bring my laptop. That's not a problem- I just have to remember my cord! Also, I don't have a laptop case. We haven't had our mac long and the case I use for my work computer is too small. Not sure if I'll have time to get one before then...

4. Camera- I need to make sure I not only have my camera (which I keep in my purse at all times) but also my camera charger! There is nothing worse than a dead camera!

5. Vado- I won a pocket video camera last year and I have only used it a handful of times. I can't wait to get some use out of it at Blissdom!

6. Medications- I won't forget to take my regular meds, but I need to make sure not to forget to bring my Vertigo meds...just in case. I haven't had vertigo in a few weeks, but it came back today- I woke up totally stuffed up, so it must be related. Frustrating


7. Harry Connick Jr. CDs- I can't forget to bring my Harry CDs for him to sign. My very favorite cd of his is Blue Light, Red Light- This was my first introduction to Harry and has remained my favorite. I listened to it over and over again in high school. Years ago, I sold most of my CDs- I had them on my itunes, so I didn't save the hard copy. Now I wish I had my favorite so I could have him sign it. Have I mentioned that I adore Harry Connick Jr?


8. Flat Iron- This is a piece of a equipment I will be lost without. I have a side tail in my hair....and my long sideburns that REQUIRE a flat iron or they become a weird, curly, taily mess.
Don't be afraid... my tail does NOT look like the following, which would be classified as a "rat tail".


Shudder....................


9. Cookies- we need some road trip food, so I plan to bake some yummy thumbprint sugar cookies with raspberry jam for the ride with Amanda, Staci & Mandi! I couldn't think of three better roomies!
10. Ipod & Docking Station- I've had my ipod for a while and I've had my docking station for a while- it's more like a boom box, if you catch my drift. It finally has stopped charging- it still plays, but that's it. So, I put it in my newly finished basement and bought a new one...the i-Home H16 is also an alarm clock- my kids got them for Christmas and they love it. I love waking up to music, but hate it when it is a loud song or talk radio, so it's nice to get to pick what you wake up to. I woke up to Aqualung this morning!

Hopefully I will remember everything for Blissdom, especially since tonight is LOST and that is certainly on my mind! Hop on over to OhAmanda.com to check out the other Top Ten Tuesdays!

  2. I'll say the same thing I said on Mandi's post. The jealousy has ARRIVED! You guys are going to have SO MUCH fun! Can't wait to follow the tweets.
    I have a pink laptop sleeve that would protect your laptop if you want to borrow it. I'd survive w/o it for the weekend. Let me know. I can run it up to school Thurs if you want. I'm working from home.

    Have an AWESOME time!!!
