Hello everyone!
So the Portland Bloggers’ meetup is having an upcoming event…this time an evening cocktail mixer! If you’re a Portland-area blogger (blogging about anything, not just fashion! Women AND men both welcome!) please email hostess Jenni for more details!
Also, if you are a local business and want to inquire about sponsorship opportunities to help get your name, product, and service in front of a group of connected and resourceful bloggers and a large pool of potential customers, please email Jenni for more details!
I think this might be a good occasion to get out a party dress… In my case…a DIY party dress…
See my coverage from the last Portland Bloggers’ Meetup – and see other area bloggers – by checking out my post on it (clicky clicky the link!)!

I’m a member of the Portland Blogger’s Brunch group: a meetup of about 50+ local bloggers who meet once every two months to network, talk about all things blogging, and make some local blogger friends. I went to my first meetup in December, and it was so much fun!
Yesterday we had our February meetup, hosted by Nicole of Nicole-Marie Who? (above) at her lovely apartment meeting room setting. 
We enjoyed a delicious brunch of mini croissants, quiche, chocolate truffles, ambrosia fruit salad, coconut macaroons, and champagne and orange juice. (more…)
I was working furiously on a DIY Links of the Week Roundup this evening when I realized I still have to put Lil Tot in his bath and get him ready for bed, and by the time I’ve done all that I’ll probably be too tired to stay up and keep at it. Ahh, the life of a woman with a 6-year old! I always find myself completely spent by 9 PM…
So, in order to post something to make up for my lack of posting these past two days…here are some crazy comments I’ve received on some of my posts throughout the last four years of my blog being online. Trolls, foot fetishists, Anonymous mean stuff, overly praiseful Spam, and just plain nutty (literally in some cases)…hope you guys get a laugh out of these!!:-D

Sunday afternoon was the monthly Portland Blogger Meetup – where we noshed lunch munchies, networked with other local bloggers, did a holiday craft, and exchange Secret Santa gifts. It was great to meet up with other PDX [airport code for Portland, OR if anyone was wondering] bloggers, and see the range of styles and blogs represented.
So, in the interest of interacting in different ways online, I’ve joined a couple social sharing communities…and I’d love to see you guys there!
Jux.com is a new micro-blogging platform (similar to Tumblr) that is driven by large-format, beautiful photography.
