Missed Blogging Conferences, Birthdays and Photos

This weekend was interesting.

If I had had my way, I would have been in Las Vegas attending Blogalicious.

But it was C Dub’s birthday and I spent precious time with him and Pookah instead.

I went to Blogalcious last year, and it was awesome. It was my first blog conference, so I didn’t have anything to compare it to.  But now that I have been to BlogHer AND Blogalicious, I can honestly say that I think I prefer the smaller blog conference.  BlogHer was HUGE, and I learned so much and met people that I really wanted to meet. But at Blogalicious, not only did I learn, but I felt more part of a community you know? I felt like I connected with folks. Not just took their cards and followed them on twitter.  I am actually still talk to some of the people I met there.  It’s something to think about as I start to plan out my travel schedule for next year.   Of course, this all depends on where all of the three conferences on my radar are next year.

C Dub’s birthday was great…for him. LOL. He got to have a child free morning to himself, he got to play golf, he had dinner at his favorite restaurant, he got a new golf club that he didn’t have to pay for, AND he got laid……

SMH.

I wish my birthday had been so good.

I spent the weekend attached to my camera too. Which is something that hasn’t happened in months around here. And it was good.  I actually took photos, practiced a few things I wanted to practice. Experimented. I never get to do that anymore, and I was beginning to feel like I wasn’t growing anymore. Same poses, same locations, same angles.  But this weekend I felt like I fell back in love with taking pictures around here. And that is good.

He agrees.

Well, that’s my weekend. How was yours? Did you do anything exciting? Learn anything new? Share!
