A fun blogger event in happening right here in Portland, OR and guess what? I'm not there! The conference FitBloggin' 13 is being held in The Nines hotel in downtown Portland and I didn't catch on soon enough that it would be just fine for me to attend. The primary focus is on fitness, of course, but it also is providing info. on topics that I would love to learn more about and, most importantly, it's meeting other bloggers. I'm such a dunce! Well, I fretted about it for a while then I decided to drop in this afternoon so I could meet 2 bloggers that I've been chatting with. I was so-o-o happy to meet Pepper from PepperScraps and Beeb of Super Coupon Girl. (Did I take a picture? ah-no. I didn't do that either. GAH!) Next year, we all said. Next year I'm there! Enough of my complaining- time to start the Virtual Girls Night Out!
For our weekly Friday night blog hopping party all you need to make this party complete is to grab a beverage of your choice (cocktail recipe below for inspiration) and your fuzzy slippers!
