It's Been So Long!

I have spent the last four days up in Happy Valley/P-town, and there were a lot of highlights of the trip that I will blog about tomorrow (one of them was the meet and greet). Today I am up to my eyeballs in laundry. I got on the internet a couple of times while I was gone, just to check my e-mail, but I hardly did any blogging. When I got home yesterday evening, my Google reader was up to 412, and by the time I went to bed is was up to 445. I am tempted to mark all as read, but I don't want to miss anything! So for the next day or two you probably won't be hearing from me comment-wise, but I am going to do my very best to read your posts.

Also, thanks for being so awesome and helping out my friend Melody on Friday's post. She wanted me to post this:
Thanks so much for coming through with so many great tips! You guys are so smart and creative (and I'm sure your homes are all sparkly clean, too). I'll email some of you off-board in the next couple of days if I need more info about how your cleaning trick works or to get your city/state for the magazine. Thanks again (and thanks to the extremely wonderful Erin)!
Seriously, I was blown away by all of the ideas that you came up with. Maybe my home will be sparkly clean one day, too... (one day, I said. Certainly not today.)

Have a great day!

Well, I didn't add anything to your friends post because I don't have any secrets. I think I will go read everyone else's though.

LisAway said...

Wow, 412!?! You read too many blogs. ;)

I have a really hard time not reading every post, too. And I sort of love sitting down and catching up with everyone after a weekend or so away.

But I've never had 412 post to get through. . .

We have missed your blogging. It sounds like the meet and greet was great fun at least from reading other's blogs. It is true that laundry is the worst when you have been gone. Have a great week and good luck catching up.

Annette Lyon said...

It was great to meet you (wish we could have had time to chat!).

I totally understand the bloated Reader. It's hard!

Kristen said...

Glad you're back. I have seen pictures on other bloggs about the meet and great. It sure looked like fun!

Me (aka Danielle) said...

Good to hear you made it home safely!

I say go for it girl...be daring, be bold hit that button and "mark all as read"!

It was so great to meet you on Saturday, my only regret is that we couldn't spend more time chatting. The whole event was a whirlwind! Good Times though!

I wouldn't worry about every post. Just read the most recent from each blogger. That'll take you enough time as it is!

Glad you had fun.

Jillene said...

Laundry is my nemesis. I have to finish it today--blah!!

Shauna said...

So happy you made it home safe Erin! I was so happy and excited to meet you in person Saturday! Wish we could have visited more! You are AWESOME :)

Kristina P. said...

It was so nice to meet you and be able to sit by you! You are exactly how I pictured you. Well, expect for being 7 feet tall. :)

We'll have to do it again!

Harlene said...

I was so bummed I didn't make it to the meet and greet when I saw you were there. I was very preoccupied with my baby leaving for the Army.

Love your blog, it feels like friendship doesn't it?

Jan said...

Erin, I have missed your couple of posts off. I have seen all the great pictures of you floating around from the meet and greet. How fun.

Glad that you got so many tips. I don't like laundry. Sorry you have to touch it.

Lara Neves said...

I'm giggling at Kristina's comment. I'm usually surprised by how short people are, because I picture everyone to be tall like me. But when I met you, I was surprised by your height. Mostly because most people are never taller than me.

Good luck with the laundry. Worst part of leaving town.

Jessica said...

Welcome back to blogland! I'm bummed that I missed bluch and meeting you. Maybe next time.

queenbee4 said...

Devri said...

I really wish I could have been there at the meet and greet. There were so many people I would have loved to meet in person there. oh well, glad you had great time.

My house will never sparkle..

Strawberry Shortcake said...

I am jealous of the meet and greet. I am hoping there will be one in June and you will go to that one too! Good luck with the laundry and reading all of the blogs. That's a ton of work (literally :)

Anonymous said...

I saw you in one of those pictures at the meet and greet on somebody's site. That looked like it was a great time!

Tracey said...

I've missed your blog entries! Over 400?!? WOW... Be careful what you delete... You might miss an announcement or something, hint, hint. Just read "A cherry on top." You don't have to read the rest of mine;)

That Girl said...

Launder. Sleep. Read. Then come back to us.

Heather of the EO said...

I've had close to that many posts to get through and it's SO hard to mark all as read. I too want to be sure not to miss anything.

Welcome back! :)

Anne-Marie said...

Did that lady really invent the Snuggie? Wouldn't she be a millionaire & not have time for a meet and greet?

glad to have you back.

Kimberly Vanderhorst said...

Glad to have you back:) We missed ya!

I was tempted to be a smarty pants and say "If you really want your house to sparkle, pour glitter everywhere!"
But I didn't.
