Hold me now, don’t start shakin’

Eighty-eight days until Blogher, and I’m already anxy!
Today, driving to day care, I practiced my introductions. (Yes, out loud in the car with the baby in the back seat. Hush.)
“Hi! I’m Mary Beth. I have a blog called Supafine.”
Urrgh. Glearghl. *barf* *panic* *die*
Seriously, is there any way to say “Supafine” out loud without sounding like A.) You’re trying too hard to be, y’know, downtown (“SOO-pa-fiiiiiiiiiiiine”) or B.) You have some sort of speech impediment? (“Yeth, Thoopafine. Thowwy, I can’t thay my owwwwws.”)
Go ahead. Say it out loud right now. Feel my pain. It’s OK, I’ll wait.
Ugh.
A three-year-old blog is probably a little too established to up and change the name, huh. And having already bought my plane ticket, registered, and promised Jess (not to mention Jeff), it’s probably too late to back out of going … Sigh. Better start breaking in the hip flask, then, and rehearsing in front of the mirror.
Thanks to Victoria for all her help and support for the Blogher Thing and also for this Polyphonic Spree song, which is now totally stuck in my head. Victoria, you totally need a blog so I can link to you an’ stuff.

Leaving me a comment, eh? Have I mentioned how gorgeous you look in that shirt/kilt/jumpsuit/riding ensemble?
who’s there?
Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there.

Good grief. Don’t even go there. You could always just put on a nametag. hehehe Or wear a t-shirt that says Supafine on it, which is a really good idea ‘cause there’s nothing I like better than a woman who knows she is all that and supa fineeeeeeeeeee.
Introductions. Man, I can feel another nightmare coming on - hopefully this one won’t involve Jesus. Oh hello son of God, I have this blog called Daily Dose of Denise, I’m sure you haven’t read it since I don’t actually believe in you… and ummm yea, nightmare is coming and it probably will involved Jesus. Thank you oh so very much. Sheesh.

Oh, I know there will! But you also know that I would wear your stitchery with pride. And maybe pimp a few peeps in your direction.

Hey wait! I need a shirt too…we could have matching ones that say “please don’t speak with us, just admire us”
We are totally hiding out together.
Reply to thisMay 2nd, 2006 @ 8:29 am
but if i had a blog, what would i call it?
and, no, you can’t change the name. because it is cool and stuff.

ok, first, it _will_ be on your nametag.
second, I suggest that everytime you say “supafine” you do it a la Mary Katherine Gallagher’s “superstar” thing on saturday night live.
at least, I dare you to!

oh jess, how would I do it without you! We should totally have matching shirts — then we’d feel REALLY safe!
victoria, I have a hundred and one ideas of what you could call it.

awesome! I have to tell you, that’s how I say “supafine” in my head, _all the time_, and always have.
Reply to thisMay 2nd, 2006 @ 11:31 am
hmm, i’m thinking the tee shirt idea is a good one! you and jess think of something and let me know…you’ll be the coolest ones there! heh.

“Yeth, Thoopafine. Thowwy, I can’t thay my owwwwws.” I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!!! OMG that was great (wiping tears from my eyes).
I feel the same way about Mama C-ta though, when I say it I throw in some fake and totally inaccurate Spanish accent. Actually it comes out more like Hispanic gangsta slang. People should really warn you that someday you may actually have to SAY the name of your blog and not just read it. I’m so jealous you are going! You’ll have a blast.

you should make business cards. not just because you need them if you don’t actually want to talk to anyone- but mostly because you’d have fun designing them before you go.

@debbie (and jess, kinda) — hmm! I say, hmmm! And, speaking of business cards. “Oh, what a lovely shirt you’re wearing!” “Why, thank you! It’s a 60bugs! Here, have a card!”
@mama c-ta — yay, i made you cry! Wait, I mean yay, i made you laugh! I always say your blog’s name out loud in my head with a little fillip at the end: mama SEET-tah! *ass-shake*

Thanks, Izzy!
I will totally see you at Blogher. Maybe, If you’re lucky, I’ll do the Superstar introduction instead of the regular one.
