Happy Birthday Scott

by Late Enough on August 1, 2010

in Holidays

Yesterday was my wonderful husband’s 32nd birthday.

And my gift to him?

Besides this:

And this:

I was unplugged. From 5:30 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Sunday.

Except there was one flaw in my plan of wifely AWESOMENESS. On Friday night, Scott was post-call. And asleep by 9 p.m.. I haven’t gone to bed at 9 p.m. since before Obama became president. (And that might have just been a Bush-years depression.)

So I was unplugged mostly on Saturday.

I AM THE BEST WIFE EVER!

Or for like 90% of his birthday weekend. Otherwise, I’m just a pretty good wife who loves my husband very much.

And managed to make his entire birthday post about me.

So maybe I AM THE BEST WIFE EVER {in my mind}

Welcome back to the Late Enough Advice Column: I Ask. You Answer.

So I know y’all fall into one of four categories:

  1. I don’t know what BlogHer or the BlogHer 2010 Conference is
  2. I don’t care about BlogHer
  3. I wish I was going to BlogHer
  4. I am going to BlogHer

So I have questions for EVERYONE because I’m oversensitive TOO!

But first the basics: I’m going to BlogHer.

If you don’t know what the BlogHer conference is, well, I don’t either. But from what I’ve gathered it’s the biggest blogging conference. And it’s about bloggy stuff. And companies are there, too. And really big important bloggers. And really little but STILL IMPORTANT bloggers.

And me.

And I don’t really like people.

Or I don’t like how people make me feel. Which would be UNCOMFORTABLE.

So besides going and not talking to people, what are your suggestions for situations such as:

  1. I see a really famous blogger?
  2. I see a blogger I don’t like or strongly disagree with?
  3. I run into a blogger who only likes the one other person that I know at BlogHer?
  4. No one wants my super cool buttons, stickers, or business cards?
  5. Wait, back to number 5. How do I even give OUT my business cards, buttons and stickers?
  6. What can I do to make you feel more a part of when everyone else is at BlogHer and you are blogging at home? And feel like all the PFs (potential friends — pay attention people) are now BFFs and you don’t count (even though you DO)? I want to use Twitter and my blog to help! (You can also check out BlogHer At Home.)

So those first 5 questions can be answered by anyone in categories 1-4, also known as EVERYONE since falling outside of those categories seems difficult. And the last question is clearly geared towards those who wish they were going to BlogHer (category 3) OR people who didn’t go last year and remember the suckage of it all (previous category 3s who have moved to a category 4 person).

And finally, if you ARE going to BlogHer and want to meet up, let me know! Comment here, email or DM me. Because I REALLY want to meet you, too! (This isn’t a question but neither were most of the other ones.)

PS. Seriously, help me out. Because my current plan if things go south is going in disguise.

Me: What’d you do today? E: I pooped out my food. Me: At school-camp? E: No before school. Me: Me, too. E: You pooped out your food, too? Me: Yup! Actually EVERYONE poops out their food! E: Really? Me: Mama, Dada… E: N? Me: Even N. She did it right before I picked you up. [...]

Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover. Unless It’s Cover Is Also Toilet Paper

this is NOT my sexy face

It’s the old adage our parents and teachers like to bring up on occasions that we make assumptions about who a person is and what she is trying to accomplish. The saying is from the Bible or William Shakespeare or Sarah Palin or someone. (google it if you must. report back here IMMEDIATELY) My favorite [...]

Without Friends I’d Be Dead. Stop Calling Me Dramatic.

July 26, 2010

My Son, Revisited

July 25, 2010

This is an update to the post: God, What If I Can’t Handle It? We’ve been to the feelings doctor three times now. I have no idea what is or is not being accomplished. I’m impatient and oversensitive so I’m disappointed we aren’t FIXED. However, the night episodes seem to be waning. more parents go [...]

I Ask: What Should I Do For My Photo Shoot?

July 23, 2010

As I mentioned early this week, I am Ms. November in the Blogger Body Calendar. But I am not a photographer, nor am I a visual person. I live in WORDS people. My photos are blurry and boring. Seriously. I’ve read the posts my Medicinal Marzipan on her AWESOME photo shoot idea and attitude. And [...]
