So…What Was I Saying?
After yesterday’s post I was in a melancholy mood all day long. And then my dad & sister sent out emails with content that, although laughable, was really just depressing and I was in even more of a funk. (In case you’re interested, this is the video my dad emailed out and this was my sister’s response).
The kids both napped, which was nice, but they wouldn’t nap at the same time, which wasn’t nice. So, by the time 4:00pm rolled around I was MORE THAN READY for my planned wine drinking, snack eating, chatting, kid-included get together with some of my girlfriends. (Hi girls!). Where, of course, I re-hashed my entire post from yesterday and asked what they thought. They pretty much told me what you all had told me, which gave me the kick in the pants I needed to actually approach DJ with my whole plan.
I was prepared. I had all my arguments mapped out in my head. I was going to be effective and convincing. I was going to be FIRM. So, I took a deep breath and started in. We had a VERY LONG AND IN DEPTH conversation about it. Here’s how it went:
Me: So…I really want to go to that blogging conference in San Francisco in a few weeks, and…
Him: So go.
Me: Uh…what? But I had arguments and reasons and all kinds of intelligent things to say about it.
Him: Do we have the money?
Me: Well, if I do this, this, this and this I can make it work.
Him: So go. Have I ever told you that you weren’t allowed to do something? If you really want to go, then go.
Yay! I’m off to register and figure out my rooming situation. And guess what?! I’m going to meet her and her and her and her and her and her! Yay!

You will have a great time! And the break from being with you children will make you an even better Mommy than you already are.
I took a trip by myself a few months ago, I called it REHAB and it was great!

Dude, I was totally gonna comment on the last post stating that I feel ya. I would love to go to BlogHer and won’t for the same reasons (not contributing to the money factor of the family, etc.) then I read this and now I’m all like. YOU BITCH! In a nice way, like the “DAWG” kinda way, like the “man, I’m jealous” way. Etc.

Yay Meghan! Of course DJ told you to go… we love to bitch about our husbands and get annoyed with them on a daily basis, but you’re way too smart to have married a man who wouldn’t see that this was important to you

Don’t ya just love it when they’re so easy and agreeable? You’re like, “what was I so worried about?”. And I’m jealous you’re going. Of everyone who’s going. I’ll have family in town so I won’t be there this time.

Okay, MEG, I have been thinking. This venting thing on your BLOG TOTALLY works for you. First you were all, “alltop – boo hoo” then you launch all mediocre which is going great and you are all like busy and famous (I assume anyway since you never stop by and visit anymore). Then you’re all like “my camera sucks. DSLR please” and then you get one like within a week. Then you are all like “blogher – wanna, can’t” and then in A DAY you are going. So this is great!
I think you need to write a post about how you want to live in Santa Barbara (wasn’t that it?) and see if any realtors come through with a screamin deal.
Then you need to write a post about how you want a boat and see if anything comes through with that.
SERIOUSLY. It would be funny to see what happened.
Love ya girl.

I almost feel a little sorry for San Fransisco – poor city doesn’t have a clue what is about to descend upon it.

Amy-
I think SF can handle us. It is the home of the Castro District after all. If it can handle what goes on there, it can handle us!
