Yeah...I might lose some followers after this...and I'm fine with that.
I'm reading a lot of blogs from people who travelled to Chicago this past weekend. I'm seeing a lot of complaints about people not talking to them or being standoffish.
Well who gives a rats ass!!!! I made sure to speak to, hug and shake hands with everyone at least once. After that....whatever!!! Life is what you make it...your weekend should have been about you. I'm sorry, but I don't feel the need to go above and beyond to speak to anyone. If you just stand there and stare at me like I'm a science experiment...then no...I don't want to talk to you. I'm not about to kiss your ass to be your friend. We are all adults...this is not elementary school...grow the fuck up.
On a more positive note. It was a great weekend. Some of the ladies that meet were a little shy...which could be expected. All of the women looked BEAUTIFUL!!!!
There were ladies there who I don't follow on the blogs...and I didn't know it. I will start to follow some...others not so much.
I hope everyone is having a great week!!!

I can say in all honesty that I had a great time, made an effort to introduce myself and meet everyone, but at the same time I went into this trip knowing that when you have a large group of women, not everyone is going to just click with everyone else.
The point of BOOBs is to meet people in person and to connect with those whose personalities mesh with your own. I made sure to introduce myself and talk to people, both new and returning and I had some great conversations with different ladies...not just the planners, but I'll be damned if I'm going to feel guilty about spending time with women I am deeply bonded to and are dear friends of mine, who I only get to see 1 or 2 times a year. This was our vacation, too...not a job where we were being paid to act like "Julie, the Cruise Director".
And...I won't delete you, evah!! :)
I would hope no one would delete you for speaking your mind.. it is YOUR blog afterall.
I agree that to set up expectations that you are going to get along with everyone would be foolish, as that just never happens. We have 1 thing pretty much in common and to find other things in common with each other is just a bonus. And to build lasting bonds and friendships is just icing on the cake.
From my own perspective, you were quite friendly to me, you are ridiculously hilarious and such a beauty to boot.
I did have an issue with the fact that there were times I did feel like I was trying really hard to meet and get to know people and it just didn't' happen, through no fault of anyones. Did it ruin my trip? Hell No!! I just mentioned it in my blog as part of my recap. Is that the thing that I'm thinking about now, 4 days later at home? No, i'm laughing when I look at all the pictures and remembering some of the funny moments..
It's been a long time since I was in high school.
The only thing that comes to mind is........people show you who they are.

While I have no idea about all the drama, since I wasn't there.... I just wanted to say that I saw some pics of you and you looked super pretty :)
Hope you are having a great week also!
Fair enough. I would say though that maybe insecurity plays a part in all of our lives as "fat girls" and maybe some lose it with the weight, some don't? Dunno. I haven't read any of the whingy blogs...but hopefully they learn from something like BOOBS that hey are just fine!
Well said :)
I won't delete you.
Well, I stalked you at Trader Joe's, so it's all good. You're the first person I met from the whole gathering. The very first! That's worth something, right? :)
Well said. I wasn't their either but I agree with Elizabeth ~ you look great in the photos! Chicago is a fun city and if people can't entertain themselves there is something really really wrong with them.
Hope to meet you one day!
I would and could never delete you are one of the most genuine people I have met on the blogs!
I love your frankness and honesty most of all, but I agree with Jen you are hilarious and so much fun to be around.
I had a blast in Chicago, and I felt welcomed back by each and everyone of you! There is not enough hours in the day to spend time with everyone up there. I like to shop way to much LOL.
I loved that I got to spend the time I did, just sad that Nichole and I got sick on Saturday night and did not get to enjoy the dinner nor all of your company!
You are right we are all adults here and these blogs are our own, ever apologize for writing on your blog how you feel!
Hugs
Missed out so I don't know about drama but saw pics and you were gorgeous!
I was so sad to miss B3 this year, but I remember the first BOOBS and some people felt left out or not liked. You really cannot please everyone all the time. Maybe the new people did not know what to expect, or they expected too much. Anyway, I am glad you had a great time and I will not be deleting you my dear!
Tell it! I love you bunches.
