On My Mind

by Marilyn on April 11, 2006

Over on Zoot’s blog today, she was was talking about BlogHer, and how she’s so nervous about meeting everyone there.? *She’s* nervous?? Frankly, I think she has nothing to worry about becuase complete dorks like myself will be fawning all over her. :)? Now me? I’m nervous and rightly so.

First off, I’m nervous about just getting there PERIOD.? Surprisingly, not worried about making the trip a mere two weeks after the baby is born.? I’ve already talked to my doctor about it and she says we can even make sure to schedule my two week post-op follow up a day or two early in order to make sure we get it in before I leave for San Jose. No, what I’m worried about is the $$.? As of yet?? Haven’t been able to purchase my tickets.? And my bone-chilling fear is that they’ll run out of room before I’m able to buy my tickets.? Even though I’m going to be helping out with a couple sessions.? Part of the problem is we don’t use credit cards.? So when I pay for something, it’s with actual money I actually have.? :lol? And right now?? Don’t actually HAVE any money.? Everything is earmarked.? Even future monies are earmarked.? In the near future, there’s our trip to San Jose (my parents live there after all, so we’re going for Easter) and the boys going to Great America for the day.? There’s also all the money we have to pay the OB this month.? After that, there’s the projects we need to get done in the next two months: the powder bath installation and the changes we’re making to the baby’s nusery (putting in chair rail, crown molding and ceiling fan).? Let’s not even consider all the baby stuff we need to get because we HAVE NOTHING.? (Okay, that’s a lie.? We have a crib :roll)

(*panic*)

Secondly, I’m nervous about meeting so many cool cool cool people.? Me?? Not so cool.? And I’m going to be 2 weeks postpartum so I have NO idea what I can wear. :lol I’m going to look like a dork and I *know* I’m going to act like a dork. And I’m liable to be shy.? I don’t want to be, because I want to meet people and have lots of fun.? But this is me.? I know me.? I’m going to be shy and awkward.? Bleh.

But still?? SO EXCITED.

Good luck with the money. Money always ruins everything!
