Michigan Blogger Bash

Hey Chicksters,

Oh my goodness - I had such a great time at the Blogger Bash....you know something? We have some awesomely cool teachers in Michigan!!!!

{And I didn't get lost!}


I walked in and told the hostess I wasn't quite sure who I was looking for - she says "A group of sweet, wonderful, kind, talented, lovely, cool, blogger chicks?" {My heart was beating so loudly, it was hard to hear - but I think that's probably what she said}

I rounded the corner and there they were...I heard them before I saw them.  HA!  Just kidding - but we were a gabby group!

We went around the table sharing lots of different things - your wildest kid moment, what technology you have in your classroom, are you married, do you have kids, how long have you been teaching....lots and lots of topics flying every which way good thing Andrea pulled out her notebook to do some note taking. No kidding - she doesn't go anywhere without her note taking tools.  Not to be showed {Shown? Showed?} up, Rachel whipped out her notebook AND her purple flair pen...

Don't think for a minute, Rachel, that your purple flair went unnoticed...love those things! Beth tried nabbing it - but I told her that wouldn't be right. 
Lots of giggles and stories that made my jaw drop.  Which teacher do you think has been spit on, kicked, chased a little one out a window and has been called every name in the book?  There wouldn't be just one in the bunch to tell a war story...

Jessica got the award for traveling the farthest...are you home yet?  I think she said she had a three hour drive.  Hopefully that field of deer I saw on my way home didn't decide to cross over to the other side as you were driving along.  Wait, I don't think you went my direction...right?  You went north? Or was it west?  Maybe east? No, I went east, I think.

Here's who was there...go check out their blogs if you haven't already!!!!

  5. I should have known that flair pen was a hot commodity. Good thing I didn't bring my whole box of Flair pens and Sharpies, which I take a lot more places than most normal people would!!

    I had a great time! So happy I got to meet you IN REAL LIIIIIFFFFEE!!!

  6. It was such a FUN day! I'm glad you got to see all the deer on the way home- I didn't see any. And I'm super glad that all you did was SEE them. :)

    And you obviously made it home without getting lost forever since you're blogging again!

    Everyone was amazing- I so hope we can do it again soon!

    :)

  7. I really do go some places without a notebook...Just can't think of one right now...
    I'm SO happy that I could make it! I loved meeting you and had so much fun! Can't wait to do it again. Now I have to go and read about how you met the hubby and of course, comment.

  10. Ha ha.. yes I made it home just about the time you were posting this. And I did run into deer but hopefully not the ones you did otherwise they travel faster than both of us. :) So HAPPY to meet you yesterday! All your sweet comments and talk on your blog you do in person do and I love it. Can't wait for the next meet up. I am so going to check out that pencil sharpener right now. Love the picture...look what you did with text boxes :)
