There are some things you should know about me:
- I am short. I might “appear” tall on the blog but seriously, I am barely 5’3″. And I don’t really wear heels very often. So look down if you are looking for me.
- I swear a lot more in person than I do on my blog.
- I usually change my outfit a minimum of two times before leaving the house (sometimes up to 8 times or I just don’t go anywhere). If I look fabulous when you meet me, there was likely a lot of spazzing out beforehand.
- I tend to overcompensate for other people’s nervousness. If you are nervous, find me. I can make it better.
- I am a hugger. Feel free to hug me. Just please, not if you’ve had so much to drink that the chances of you puking on me have sky rocketed.
- I’m great with names and faces but this might be a real test of my memory. Please don’t take it personally if I don’t recognize you right off the bat.
- I am a morning person. If I’m chipper at breakfast, don’t punch me in the face.
- I’m not kidding about this: I am covered in freckles.
- I am not staying at the Westin but hopefully I won’t get lost on the .2 mile walk from my hotel. I have a notoriously bad sense of direction.
- I drink like a man: just give me a beer or a whisky or a beer AND a whisky.
(I have SO MUCH to do before I leave on Wednesday. My list has become many lists within a master list. It’s getting ridiculous.)
OMG! I have a draft of a post just like this (as stolen from my buddy Le Petite Chic) ready to be published tomorrow. And you and I have some similar characteristics (namely the hugging thing)! Love it!
I’ll send you an email so we can try to figure out a way to meet up while we’re there. π
Awe Sizzle, you’re so cute! The puking disclaimer cracked me up. Hope you have a fantastic time at BlogHer.
Through all the craziness in my life currently, I am hoping to still make it over for at least part of BlogHer.
And uh that morning person thing? I will try to restrain myself. But props to you for remembering names AND faces. I usually just remember faces.
Have a great time at Blogher! You left out the most important characteristic… you don’t take a bad photo, ever.
You forgot to mention that you are hella-cute-hawt, never take a bad picture, and are a lot of fun to be around!
Gawd I kinda wish I was going to BlogHer, I’m sure it will be fab.
Yay short people! (I’m 5’3″ too)
Yay morning people!
Hey, you’re taller than me. You win! (am 5’2″)
I hope you have a fantabulous time!
Ooo, have fun! My life is very list-y lately too.
Hooray for freckles! π
Ooooh, how exciting to be getting ready for Blogher! I hope you have a most FABULOUS time there! Please soak in all the details for those of us who won’t be attending!
Cool list, love lists, love freckles, have fun! And have some more for me! I want to go too!
Another list? I love it!! π
Have a great time!
I can personally vouch for all of these, especially the part where Sizzle makes nervous people feel better π
I am short (5’1) and round and will hug the shit out of you. And will also drink like a man with you. Drink LIKE a man, but probably with girlie drinks. But I don’t puke. So there’s that.
3 more days!!! squeee!!!
I wish I was drinking with you this week!
Can’t wait to hug you! Woo!
So adorable! I’m pretty short too. 5’2″. Have fun there and definitely blog about it!
OMG – you are adorable!! I want to meet you! Boo for not making it to BlogHer this year. Have a great time and I can’t wait to hear all about it!
i wish i was going! have a total blast!
ps- you forgot to mention that you have a beautiful smile!!
Have fun!!
And note to self: if/when we finally meet, make sure it is not for breakfast. Heh. π
Well that’s just shitastic! Makes me wish I was coming and that we could meet even more. We’d totally close the bars down. =)
Have fun! I am new to the blogging world but this event sounds like so much fun. Who knew that there were so many awesome blogger women?! π
PS – I would smack you at breakfast. I can’t do “chipper” in the morning. My husband is chipper and it kills me.
hi miss sizzle, i been reading your blogs for a quite a while now- and i just love how you write them-it’s always like im talking to you in person and its seems like i really know you. you always brighten up my day … continue writing miss sizzle- BTW my name is ice im a filipina.—
I wish I was going so that we could meet in person!
Your eyebrows look fabulous in the picture!!
Wish I were going just so we could drink Wisky and BEER.
I so wish I was going!!! I drink like a man and swear like one too – we could of had such a GREAT time!!
Enjoy yourself!
I’ll vouch for the nervous thing. And second Dave. You are really good at making people feel comfortable and welcome.
Have a great time Siz! Hope you have lots of beer and whiskey and no one pukes on you.
I really really wish I was going now! Have a great time!
What if I’m not going to BlogHer, are you still short? Or can I keep imagining you’re 5’10”?
Have fun! (without me, sob)
I am so jealous…
Have a great time!
Man, I wish I was going. I like hugging and drinking, too.
Good grief you’re a morning person?! I may have to re-think this entire friendship ;o)
You are going to have the BEST time!
when did you get that sofa???
wait did you tell me and i forgot?
OH yeah and BlogHer …you will have a BLAST!
I imagined you being my height. Hmmmm.
Have fun, girlie!
I’m super short as well. Just thought I’d share that. I’m really excited about BlogHer. I’m nervous, but excited! I’m sure I’ll get lost on my 5 minute walk to the hotel at least once.
I wish I could be there! I look forward to hearing your take on things though!
And just to boost your not-so-tall-girl ego, you would tower over 4’10” me. Enjoy!
You forgot to add a few things:
You are probably the most amazing hugger EVER
You light up a room
When someone meets you for the first time, they instantly like you (Take it from someone who knows)
You not only have a wonderful smile but also an infectious laugh.
It may take you forever to decide on an outfit, but you look so effortlessly pulled together!
Those girls at Blogher are SO DAMN LUCKY.
Have a blast and don’t find an new internet soul sister! That spot is taken!
I wish I was going to SF!!!! Have a few drinks on my behalf, will you?
I wish I could meet you! I love hugs too!
Can I hide in your suitcase and come along?
Hopefully we’ll get to meet in person one day. I’ll keep this list handy for when we do!
I’m also 5’3″. Are you flying to Blogher? At least you’ll be comfortable in the seats π Anytime I fly with Dex he becomes insanely jealous of my short legs. He is 6’4″.

Kinda related – Whenever I read ‘BlogHer’, I laugh a little.
Kiss San Francisco for me, I lived there 20 years.
Have not been back for 8 years and I am really missing it. Have a great time!
I just saw on Nanette’s blog that you’re going to BlogHer too! And totally love this post, and hi love your blog so far π
Hey! I will look for you there. I’m usually pretty nice after I’ve had a drink. Until then, I’m rather irritable ;).
There’s a picture of me on Facebook.

AHHHHHHH! I want to be going. Next year I’m not going to put off organizing my trip. I feel the need to compare height with you (I’m short too!) and swear a lot while drinking whiskey. Have a ridiculous amount of fun!
not headed to SF, but I will be in Seattle in September. Maybe we can hang for a bit?
I wish I was going – I would totally not punch you in the face at breakfast.
Gosh! It would have been a pleasure to meet you. Hopefully when I learn a little more about blogher or if they ever come to my city I’ll attend. AND I don’t care what you say about those brows, matter of fact not sure I believe you’ve never had them waxed but THEY ARE FABULOUS!!!
You are sooooo pretty Siz, you really are!!!
Oh, how I wish I was going to Blogher! Can’t wait to hear about it.
Mayberry Magpie
you are beautiful. it’s going to be grand.
and a chick drinking whiskey? sexy.
have fun! i went to blogher last year and it was great just putting names with websites….
BlogHer??? You brought her!!!
(An old joke from a friend from Bangor, Maine)
π
YAY!
Have so much fun.
Ummm, I swear I’m not copying you, but I just wrote a very similar post seceduled to publish tomorrow in the morning. I am short, likely to be strangely dressed and somewhat shy/nervous. I hug too much so don’t let me catch you off gaurd. Can’t wait to meet you! Also? Promise not to puke on you!
So many ladies who own a lot of the blogs I read are going to BlogHer. Which makes me sad, because I live close to San Francisco, but I’m not going.
AWWW! You make me want to go to Blogher just to meet you! Maybe next year.
Did you put your outfits together for your trip?
I’m SO excited to meet you! I’m not staying at the Westin either so hopefully I won’t get lost on my way!
So sad I won’t be meeting you there! Have a fantastic time. π
We’ll have to meet at some point…in Seattle;) But, I have to ask where you get your eyebrows down — they look great!
At least two things we have in common: 1. I also curse a lot more in person. A. LOT. and 2. My roomie and I aren’t staying at the Westin either. And PROBABLY WILL get lost on the way back.
Also — read your Tidbits page and you had me at Princess Bride. Am e-mailing you my cell number as I would love to meet you. And get my hug. π
I am not going to Blogher but if I was I would look out for you. You sound like my kind of friend π
Wow! I didn’t realise you were that short!
