Oh, dear sweet bloggers who are smarter than myself.

Thanks for the advice of Sharpreader.

Best Ever.

Things I learned in Nashville.

Do not eat at the Gerst House at 10 at night (Advice given from Hutchmo. Woefully, it is so true as my appearance at the Mothership would explain.)

Big Hair brings you closer to God. (Advice given after my complaint about my hair growing into something that is akin to Cousin It over the past few months. This came from the fab Ginger.)

Huckleberry Hound is much better than watching hours of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. (Joint observations from Sista and Sarcastro.)

Kerry Woo’s kindness at showing me his camera was so wonderfully awesome that it inspired me to rejoin the 365 project. (Thanks Wonderdawg.)

There are no words or thought processes that Ivy is afraid to say. (Also, she has a new gig in blogtopia.)

The Blackstone and Blogger Chicks go together quite well. (Meeting a good reporter was cool as, all of you campers well know, sometimes I refer myself to a Hack. Groovy Meeting of the Girl’s Club.)

Kudos to two of the nicest people from Nashville who bought me breakfast and allowed me to be myself. (Thanks Desdemona and Slartibartfast.)

Crack and Cheese is really what it’s all “cracked” up to be. (Yeah, bad pun and I’m a damned nerd.)

That Kathy T. and I are so very comfortable with each other that I wonder if she is my long-lost sister. (And I mean that.)

That Smiley and I’s new favorite saying is “pounding sand.” And that Ms. RUAbelle is one of the finest people I know. (Hope you had fun in the keys, kids.)

And there are some people that make you want to be a better writer and express yourself more openly and that they came to hang out meant a lot. (Thanks B.)

Badger is really funny and it was determined that she sounds like this guy (May he rest in peace. And thanks guys, she had a great time.)

That Finn and Scout make me happy because they just do.

Now going to mourn the temporary coma of my beloved laptop.

As I’m on a borrowed computer writing this, campers, blogging will most likely be light unless I can work something out. Apparently my beloved laptop is going to have to go to the doctor which, unfortunately, is in California.

Crap.

Of course this is frustrating, so bear with me the next couple of weeks.

Thanks from all of us from the west.

Happy Birthday, Sista.

And to all of the Nashville bloggers that made all of us feel so welcome by joining us the past few days, we offer our gratitude. Each and everyone of you, thanks for your hospitality and making us feel a part of your community.

I raise my glass.
