This would totally be a post about BlogHer '11, but...

I WON AN iPAD from the fabulous ladies at Help a Mother Out and Momversation!

Shown posing here with my absolute favorite piece of swag from BlogHer '11, a USB drive from I Can Haz Cheezburger.

How did I come by such a fine piece of swag, you ask? Pure kismet, my friend. Delicious, delicious kismet.

See, I already knew about the goodness that is the Hershey's S'mores suite at BlogHer. So when we hit the first break after the opening morning welcome, I already had a priority, and I went straight there.

The Hershey's S'mores suite ROCKED IT this year, too. I was glad to sink into a comfy armchair, and the Hershey's staff was quick to light the bunsen burner right next to me.

And then, three delightful ladies sat down on the couch, and I noted that they were wearing matching lolcat shirts.

And then I preceded to turn total fan girl when they said they were from I Can Haz Cheezburger. LOLCATS, PEOPLE! THESE PEOPLE BROUGHT US LOLCATS!!!

And I scored the best USB drive EVER, that which comes in the shape of a cheezburger. And enjoyed not one, but TWO delicious Hershey's S'mores, one of my favorite treats.

And then after BlogHer, I found out I won an iPad. From the fabulous ladies at Help a Mother Out and Momversation. Which I have sent every available moment since it arrived loaded apps onto, and which is perfect for reading screenplays, and which makes me want to cry because it is so hardcore awesome.

I must note that I still went to yoga on Wednesday, the day it arrived. Because I am hardcore like that, people. And I really needed to go to yoga for body and mind, post BlogHer '11 Awesomeness Overload.

What's kinda funny that after my LOLCats/S'mores moment of bliss I ran to the Samsung sponsored session, "Being the CTO of Your Life." (If you're not an Apple lover, there's a great review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 by A.V. Flox here at OMG. OMG. OMFG.) Towards the end of that session the panelists were talking about what apps they use, and I jotted them down thinking, "Someday..."

Someday came sooner than I ever could have imagined.

And I promise another post about BlogHer '11 is coming. Just as soon as I've got my iPad fully optimized and I can pull myself away from it for longer than it took to write this post.

Thank you SO SO much, Help a Mother Out and Momversation!!!

Wow, way to score some awesome stuff! I'd love an iPad, but am saving up my money for a PowerBook Pro. Daddy needs a new laptop.
