Top Ten Tuesday - ready for Blissdom

I leave for Blissdom in less than 36 hours and I am so excited!  I honestly am most excited about spending time with old friends and new friends. I packed last night, but am not quite finished, so I decided to write my Top Ten Tuesday about the to ten things I need to pack for Blissdom 'll.

1. My laptop and it's cord- going to a blogging conference without a laptop is a sin- it's just not done.  During breaks, there are piles of laptops charging- it is hilarious, but that makes it important to label your laptop somehow.  I have a violet skin (get it?  The Violet Fig?) with a little Sisterchick bling that Amanda gave me last year.
2. My camera and it's charger- the second thing you MUST bring to a blogging conference is a camera.  I took so many pictures last year- especially fun is taking pics of celebrities. 
3. Business Cards- business cards are how people can remember to find your blog. You exchange A.LOT of these at blogging conferences.  I went cheap again this year, but next year plan to get some nice ones.
4. Roommate Gift- I can't say what I got, but I done good.  I can't wait to give Amanda, Mandi and Staci their gifts! While you're at it, check out Staci's Top Ten Tuesday from last week- it was all about Roomie Swag!
5. Medicine- it's always a good idea to bring some "just in case" medicines in addition to the ones you need.  I will be bringing my antibiotics that I'm on for some residual sinus problems after my surgery  and some tums because it gives me heartburn!  I also need carsick medicine for the long ride from the ATL to Nashville. Ibuprophen and Nyquil will also be brought- just in case!
6. My humidifier- see above- my nasal passages must stay moist so I will be the crazy person lugging around a humidifier! I literally am bringing a second suitcase just so I can bring it- lol!
7. My NeilMed Sinus Rinse- again with the sinus surgery...I'm a little concerned about this one. I have to use it at least 4x a day...with distilled water that I have to heat up in a microwave...will I have access? I really don't want to use warm sink water, but may need to...ew.
8. Smart Phone- oh yeah, that's right...I'm not up for renewal until January 29th...just days after Blissdom ends...next year I will bring my iphone and I will be able to tweet/browse the net even when my laptop is charging!
9. Cute clothes- this year I borrowed two dresses from a co-worker- I needed to feel good in some new clothes, but lack the money right now, so borrowing was the next best thing.  Thanks, Allison!
10. Last minute trip to the store- for me that is to try to find some leggings for under my dress- I was going to go with tights, but it's just not the look I want- so off to Kohl's it is- lucky for me there is one almost next to my ENT office and I have a visit tomorrow afternoon!

So, those are the things that I have to remember to pack for Blissdom 2011! See more Top Ten Tuesday links at www.ohamanda.com.
