Be sure the check out this year's Blogathon. Tomorrow is the deadline to register to participate, but you will be able to sponsor participants until the day of the event.
I participated last year and it was a great deal of fun. I won't be able to take part this year because we'll just be coming back from a conference/vacation on the day it begins.
Vacation? Yes. To Los Angeles to see my grandparents and to San Diego to attend OSCON.
I have six minutes to finish packing and get into the car before the tyrant leaves without me. Believe me, he really said he would leave without me. He said the trip would be a whole lot more fun without my nagging and screaming and incessant chatter. It's true! Don't listen to anything Anil says.
I'm a helpless little flower.
I like to exaggerate.
Ben is not a tyrant. I am not a helpless flower.
As one reader wrote in response to Ben not "letting" me get a banjo: "How much does he spend on beer in the space of a year?"
Ben doesn't drink beer. That's why I married him.
(Not that there is anything wrong with beer drinkers.)
Those who know us personally, know our dynamic. I'm bossy and loud and in no way could ever be dominated by someone.
Perhaps my sick, twisted humor is lost in this medium.

We thrive on the sick, twisted humor. It is what makes your online identity so... sick and twisted.
Enjoy the vay-cay! Shun!

Those of us that have the same sick twisted humor, and are also bossy & loud, completely understand!!! My husband is the quiet, reserved one and I am the loud, opinionated one.

Don't apologize. I'm another helpless little flower (ahem) married to a tyrant (ahem).
