I hate being a grown-up. I really do.
Blissdom ’09 is coming. In February. Considering I write for Blissfully Domestic (shut up. I do. I just have writer’s block.) You’d think it would be a good idea that I go. You’d think that since I’m an editor for Blog Nosh Magazine, and Megan’s speaking, that it would be a good idea that I go. You’d think that since I have started my own business, it would be a good idea that I go.
But it’s in Nashville. So, flying, hotel, some food, and the conference itself, brings the cost to a little less than $1,000. I kinda have the money. I mean, between the money I got from leaving my job, and the Christmas fund (if I get nothing), maybe. But I’m sort of saving for Poe’s teeth getting fixed.
I hate this. Not to mention the kid care arranging, since my husband has to work that Friday. I don’t know what to do.
I have that thought every single time I hear about these wonderful blogging conferences. It’s like hearing about Prom but not being old enough to go! In my case, it would cost me sliiiiiiightly more than $1000 considering I’d have to FLY THERE FROM AUSTRALIA but hey. In my mind I’m rich and it’s totally normal to fly 20+ hours to go see some people I’ve never met in real life for a single weekend.
Totally normal, LOL.
Cheers,
Lizzie

I’m totally catching up on stupid Technorati inbound links and just found this. First of all, can I just say that I love how it says “participation” above that Blog Nosh button in your sidebar. Pffft. An understatement, my dear.
Second, I soooooo understand the money thing. As soon as I get a smidgeon of cash and even think about thinking about spending it on myself, someone falls off of a roof or something.
I don’t know if you have since decided that you’ll be able to go but it really and truly will be worth it. If we don’t take care of mama first, who will? And how on earth will we be able to refrain from strangling all these needy people that live in our homes?
