• Two and a half days is not enough time to properly see New York City. I purposely did not buy a full conference pass because I wanted to see New York. And I still managed to not see the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building or Central Park.
• This year there were three of us in the room. I asked for a roll-a-way bed because I’m a terrible sleeper, especially when I travel. I slept great all three nights. Roll-a-way bed for president!
• My two roommates were great, although we sadly did not get a photo of the three of us together.
• The Pink Twitter was my drink of choice the whole time I was there. It was called different things at different parties, but it was so good. Ketel Orange vodka, lemonade, soda, grenadine, and mint. Make it. And drink one for me.
• I did not get to see everyone I wanted to see. And several people I did want to see, I only got to see them for 5 minutes. I don’t like this.
• I did such a great job of packing that I did not have to check my bag on the way there.
• I did an even better job of selecting what swag to bring home. I didn’t have to check my bag on the way home either which shocked me. And I still came home with lots of stuff!
• Free shapewear is amazeballs. (thank you Yummie Tummie and Spanx)
• The NBC store and 30 Rock might have been the highlight for me. (you can see where my priorities are)
• The Sparklecorn and CheeseburgHer parties were off the hook this year.
• I got to see Padma Lakshmi from Top Chef. She’s so gorgeous and classy.
• I laughed at the commercials for the PH Balance tampons. Well guess what? I got a free box while I was there and thanks to Mother Nature was able to try them out right away. Without going into any gross details, I will say that I really like these and as long as they aren’t a lot more expensive than the ones I buy, I will totally switch.
• I totally scored a free Scentsy warmer. This excited me way more than it should have.
• I ate a Magnolia cupcake, and lo, it was good.
• I really wish I would have planned ahead to see a show. Specifically Promises, Promises starring Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth. (did you know she’s from Oklahoma?)
• I was able to eat a hot dog, a pretzel, a bagel, and authentic NY pizza while I was there. I like carbs.
• The scale today was still down 6lbs from last week. Yay for exercise!
• I really missed my friends who couldn’t make it this year.
• God bless Kelly and Maura who made the trip so fantastic for me.
• I was all set not to go to BlogHer next year and then they announced it will be in San Diego. I should have known they wouldn’t pick a place I didn’t want to go.
• I guess we’ll just see if I make it for a fifth year.
• I got my first henna tattoo and I love it.
• The people at the Hilton hotel were very friendly and accommodating.
• I did not see a single hobo while I was there. We must have been on the nice side of town.
• NYC cab and shuttle drivers scared the cheeses out of me. Driving in Tulsa is such bliss.
• I rode the subway all by myself!
• All of my planes took off and arrived on time or early.

My brain is fried and that’s all I can think of now. But if you would like to view my entire set of flickr photos you may do so here.
