Listen, I have some things to tell you and you’re not going to like it.
And to be honest with you? It’s taken me about 5 false starts just to get this post out. Because I so very much want you to like this place. But sometimes… well, sometimes I just have to take a deep breath and say “fuck it. This is my space, not theirs.”
So…
**Deep Breath**
Housekeeping links that everyone absolutely hates to read on blogs:
I am guest posting at Secondhand Karl’s place today. Technically, I am copying and pasting an old post of mine over there. Don’t you want to just run right over and read that? Of course you do. Everyone loves a rerun.
——————————————————-
I am also posting today at Blissfully Domestic’s Style & Fashion channel. We’ll be relaunching in a few weeks and I’m so excited about what we’re putting together there. And have I mentioned I’M THE EDITOR OF THE CHANNEL?!?! Ahem. Yeah. I’m a little excited about that. (P.S. I’m looking for more contributors. Email me if you like fashion, style, clothes, makeup, etc. etc. etc. Shallow Whores UNITE!)
———————————————————–
I had a blast on Clearly, You’re Retarded last night. We discussed Ageism and established that I am brilliant and Adam is an un-evolved shit. Don’t believe me? Download it here! (P.S. My husband listened in and joined in the chatroom. Is it weird I found that ridiculously hot?)
———————————————————
And FINALLY – I have a special discount available for a blogging conference here in Orlando! IZEAFest is happening September 11-13th (or, um, just the 13th for those of us who have to work. Dammit!) I’ll be attending and asked if I could extend a discount to any other Florida bloggers who want to make the trip! Register here to get $15 off IZEAfest registration.
———————————————————
OK. That’s it. Are you still here? You aren’t, are you?
I knew it! I knew if I stopped performing for you for even one minute you would drop me like a hot potato and move on to a younger, slimmer blogger and you would forget all about me! I’m just an old feed to you! *SOB*
(P.S. Have you entered my contest from this weekend yet? It ends tomorrow!)

Yet you didn’t pimp out my Halloween party or the T-shirts or the raffle to win a roundtrip plane ticket to Orlando?
I hate you.

Rumor has it the new Style Editor at Blissfully Domestic is doing great things over there.
Not that I am one to spread rumors.
Just sayin.

If you want an article on designer purses, I happen to have one since I am a proud Dooney Whore. Everything else I wear is cheap but not my freaking purse. I even use it as an avatar. I am so fluffy I embarrass myself.

The end? Hardly.
I fully expect to win.

I think I entered the contest. I’m pretty sure. I don’t know. I’m starting to go into a catatonic state from lack of nicotine. :wha:

Fashion? Does spending way too much money at Gap count?
Although I can get you into a pair of jeans that make your ass look fabulous! But it’s part of my job.

Actually, I’ve left you for a blogger who smokes.

Why am I awake?

I wish CYR wasn’t on Wednesday nights. Don’t ask me to choose between pool and a blogshow.

Still here.

I shop at Target and Cato, my purses are kick ass knock-off’s of Coach and Prada, my make-up is barely there minerals (barely there because I always forget to put it on) and my shoes are generally slip-ons or flip-flops. Contributor I am not.

geez I barely know you and you’re already calling me a shallow whore? well, it’s good to know where we stand i guess!

Of course I’m still here! And I even read a few of your posts over at Blistfully Domestic. I suck at accessories and that’s all I’m saying about that.

I can do makeup and skincare. I could live in Sephora, Ulta and The Body Shop.

Thanks for the guest post, hon. Think I’ll join you for the IzeaFest.

I can’t help you out with the girly-girl topics. My daughter thinks Stacy and Clinton could do a 2 hour Special Edition on me!
Blogging conference?? Orlando?? SWEET!

Hanging in there? GOODY!!! :clap:

I am definitely interested in contributing to the channel you edit – can you send me your e-mail address? I am also good @ HTML if you need some help with that….
Reply
That’s awesome. Is it weird that I wanted to ask what kind you were wearing and how they fit you?
Talk about taking your work home with you. heh.

You gotta do what you gotta do. I’ll still be here for you. Your feed never looks too old for me.

My favorite part about today? Besides this housekeeping post? Was you and Adam cat-fighting on his blog this morning, through the comments. Quite the chuckle!
And, yes. Still here!

I wish I wasn’t so chicken…i’m afraid I’d be a bumbling idiot. I love me some shoes, but damn….I can’t afford the good ones!
I’m thinking of leaving my Shoes and becoming the “PurseWhore”.
I’ll just be a loyal reader. Sorry I suck.
