Where Will I Not Be In 20something days?
Posted by Heather in Evidence File for The BettyWhere will I not be 20something days?
Blissdom, that’s where.
(I know, the world mourns with you.)
I made the decision I was not going months ago.
Oh, I’ve had enough of blog conferences, what with my extensive TWO conference attendances. What more can I learn?
Am I getting enough value for my money? It’s the Great Recession, after all. Pay cuts and loss of equity and the sky falling!
So it was settled before 2009 ended. 100%. I will not go.
Pfft! I don’t need it! What do I care? I won’t care this year. This time it WILL be different. I won’t care. I won’t!
And so yet again I approach a large upcoming blog conference with the ridiculous idea in my head that I won’t be jealous nor feel like I missed out.
Uh huh.
And then I see the beginnings of Twitter chat about the conference.
Hmmm, is that a little green monster getting itchy under my skin? Why do I have the infantile urge to unfollow people I normally like?
And then I see the first “I’m Going To Blissdom and Have Tips For Those of You Going Too!” post
Asshole.
Oh, wait. I was the asshole last year.
And THEN I hear Harry Connick, Jr. will be playing.
Well. I suppose Harry Connick, Jr. is fine. But he’s no Dave Matthews, where if he were the musical performer, I don’t give a damn about any recession or pay cuts or falling skies, I would be there and I would not be wearing underwear. Not that I even find receding hairlines that attractive, but, oh, that man’s voice makes me accidentally on purpose forget to wear underwear.
My acts of self-soothing justification have no limits.
What is an isolated housewife on house arrest to do during the winter?
The good news is is that Blissdom is scheduled right smack in the middle of Mardi Gras.
In 20something days, I may not be at Blissdom, but you can still tune in to my blog that weekend for more drunk Mardi Gras blogging. I know you can’t wait, so you’re welcome in advance.

Oh no! We will miss you, seriously!
But you’ll have Mardi Gras, which is very cool and probably even better blog fodder.

I’m not going either. I don’t even have Mardi Gras as my excuse, I’m just cheap. I’ve chosen to stay home and Twitter and blog about it with bitter mockery instead. Eases the pain a bit, you should try it. Or drink a fifth of rum and flash your boobs at people. We all cope in different ways.

You and me, too, sister. OMG. He calms my nerves and takes me into the blue sky until the end of the world…
How about Dave Matthews AND Mardi Gras?!?!?! Now that would mean all kinds of blog fodder trouble.

Party-Gras!!! Cool! I don’t mind drunk blogging, thats when we get all the good dirty info ha ha Cut loose flash them boobs get your beads, Hell if Beads were money hunny I would be RICH HA HAH…. Hey what ever happen to your wedding ring?
At least you won’t get stuck in any elevators. Probably.
I must be the only one that wishes you were going to Blissdom: only b/c I know you’d be the one to give us the true lowdown. None of this lovefest /sisterhood thing: but the real deal on what goes down.
I’ll miss that.
But your mardi gras blogging is awesome, too.
Guess that means you won’t be at Mom 2.0 either.
Though Mardi Gras…

“On Facebook- Join BlissDom on Facebook. Find a room-mate, go green and plan a carpool, and bond with your fellow BlissDom friends even before you meet. No one is ever a stranger at BlissDom.”
Would it make you feel better if I tell you it sounds a little like a cult?
Just kidding, ladies.
I’m not going either but mostly because no one likes my blog therefore they wouldn’t know who the hell I was. LOL!

If you don’t wear underwear to see singing-boy-that-makes-you-wet…then, what do you throw at him?
I know, I totally missed the point.

I too will not be at Blissdom in 20something days. Being a blog conference virgin, I’m fed up with them. Okay. Not really. I’m curious like a mofo and can’t help but feel my blood boil inside my veins when people Tweet about it. Because, damnit don’t they know that I’m still a baby in this world of blogging about babies and my baby was born the 8th of February and baby, oh baby if Dave Matthews were playing I “wouldn’t have” a baby, or my baby, because didn’t that crooner with a receding hairline spot his wife in the crowd of one of his own concerts and know? Just know that she was the one? I could be his second or additional. I was into that sort of multiple-wives, year supply storage, hours of church meetings on Sundays life for about 9 months after high school. What? Hold on. Oh yeah.
Meh, we won’t be jealous. It’s just another conference right?

I’ll be joining you for the at-home Mardi Gras celebrating instead of Blissdom, too. Sadness.

Hey! I won’t be there, too! AGAIN! I will, however, look ever so forward to drunken Mardi Gras posting.

Will you be wearing underwear during the drunk mardi gras blogging?

“Blissdom?” Never heard of it.
I’d go with my gut and my gut says that Mardi Gras and drunk blogging is a much better option…Good call.

I am quite positive that Mardi Gras will kick Blissdom’s arse.

Doing some browsing and noticed your blog appears a bit messed up in my Safariinternet browser. I think I’m the only one still using it….
You might try coping with it in the same manner as I do – I just don’t give a rat’s ass about it. But Mardi Graus, now that is something to be jealous about! I’m wishing I was going to be THERE.
Knock Knock. Where did you go to? Did you fall face first into a martini and couldn’t get up? Or wouldn’t get up? LOL.
Hope all is well in your kingdom.
How disappointing. I met you at Blissdom last year and you were one of the few people that didn’t say “no wonder you look so well rested” when I said I didn’t have kids.

It was definitely time for a Heather fix and once again I am so happy I dropped in. My meager travel allowance only permits trips to my imagination these days. I’ll be right there with you raising a glass of Mardi Gras spirits on The Twitter
