Lovely Readers, first let me say thanks for all of the great comments and tweets of support and congratulations in regards to my recent trip to Lane Bryant's Headquarters in Columbus, OH for the first ever Blogger Conference. I have so many thoughts about the day, the other bloggers, the friends that I made, Lane Bryant and more running through my head.
Over the next few days I will be sharing more and more information along with pictures from my time there. Today though since I have many more blog readers and subscribers than I do on Facebook and Twitter, I thought I would re-post my Tweets from the day along with some pictures to start things off today.

Loved the video! This was great, what a great opportunity for you! You were so close to me, I live 2 hours from Columbus! It is really cool to go behind the scenes, glad you got to experience that..you deserve it!
Next time you come here and I do not know I will beat you up. OK. I really won't. Maybe. But since you don't know for sure and are in doubt you won't do that again, will you? Or will you?
It was such a pleasure meeting you and chatting it up! I really had a blast!
