I’ve been meaning for an entire week now to sit down and write about The Sony Mommy Blogger Event. I know how I am, though, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to write about it without going on for days, so I had to sort of brace myself for it. Okay, here goes! What a whirlwind trip it was! I flew out to gorgeous, sunny LaJolla, California last Wednesday along with lots of other Mommy Bloggers®. When Paul took me to the airport, it was SNOWING, so I was pretty pleased to be heading out of Colorado into the land of sunshine. Anne Marie from My Readable Feast was on my flight with me, and she and I shared a limo to the hotel as well. I have to admit that I was a giant baby when I discovered that our limo driver was holding a sign with her name on it, but not my name. Ha! AND! We both had a suitcase and a carry-on. The driver grabbed her suitcase and her carry-on, and I schlepped my own stuff to the limo. The hell? Whatever, though.
When we got to La Valencia, the bellhop took my bags up to my room after I checked in, and…holy cats. This room! It was just amazing. And honestly? It wasn’t all that amazing, compared to some of the other rooms. I didn’t realize it at the time, but my room was sort of closet-like in comparison to the multi-room suites with spalike bathrooms that some of the other ladies had. But I didn’t even care – it could have been a room at the Super 8, and it would have been just dandy, because I was GLORIOUSLY ALONE, in a gorgeous place, with no small children hanging off of me!
This stuff is just insane. I mean, it would have to be, right? Have you seen the commercial? With that same guy who shouts at us in the OxyClean commercial? (Aside: I’ve always thought Paul’s coworker Jason looked like Billy Mays, the OxyClean guy. Don’t believe me? Look for the “Net Jet Review” post on this very blog. There’s a picture of him.)
Now here’s the part I don’t understand. How do people use 
I am so in love with Diet Rite Red Raspberry soda, it actually hurts my feelings a little bit when I go to a supermarket that doesn’t carry it. I love the Cola too, but the Red Raspberry is my favorite. I’ve even got Paul’s little brother hooked on it, and that’s saying something – they don’t like “diet” anything! This soda has no carbs, no sodium, no sugar, no caffeine, NO ASPARTAME, (it’s sweetened with Splenda) and it actually tastes REALLY good. I had no idea, though, that it came in
