Eli’s Lids was able to represent at the 2nd Annual Blogger Ball (last year was a blast). This year, Embassy Suites in Anaheim hosted the event in one of their big ballrooms, we had twitter (#OCBloggerBall) streaming on a large screen, yummy food, the kiddos were home with a sitter and Hot Hubby and I were dressed to impress…
Marcy from The Glamorous Life Association was the MC for evening.
The highlight of the night (besides meeting local bloggers in person) was a raffle.
I love a good raffle.
I think they are so exciting.
REALLY! (I’m that much of a dork.)
The most coveted of prize was a $50 gift certificate to Eli’s Lids… or the iPad (donated graciously by Atwater). 
Adam the Dad his beautiful wife and I talking smack on Tracey from Shutter Sisters for winning the iPad (you know I’m only joking Tracey… not really… really… now you’ll never know!!)
Steve from The Bush Report won the $50 to Eli’s Lids. Whenever I put our stuff in a raffle I get anxiety that the winner won’t like the prize. I was so thankful Steve won because he has an adorable little guy at home that will look awesome in our Lids!!
On the way out I got a chance to talk with some of my favorite bloggers Jen from Tiny Oranges, Shanna from My Favorite Everything, Sarah from Whoorl and Hair Thursday, and meet the most famous hair stylist in blogland, Tera.
By the end of the night I had to high tail it out of there because I was about to explode.
As in, nurse Cy.
As in, my cup size had doubled in the course if the evening (see picture above).
As in, is this too much info about my boobs???
