I Fear This May Be The End For Us

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

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!)

  1. avitable says:

    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.

  2. Sybil Law says:

    :o hgreatone: I follow you, oh great one. :D

  3. i have been adding the i support quitters picture to my posts. hope that counts. although i can’t remember if today i actually did the link to you thing. dammit.

    mmmmmmm, i love shoes, but as you are all too well aware, i am so not into fashion. make turnbaby write a shoe column.

    i’m curious which post you put up over at kawol’s, however exhaustion is winning out. sleep now, read more tomorrow.

    now go kick adam into sending me my ipod thingy so i can download all of your shoes, dammit! (although considering that today is hnt, ya might not wanna look at my site today.)

  4. MammaLoves says:

    Your place. You get to say what you want.

    Isn’t that the deal?

  5. 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.

    xoxo.

  6. Winter says:

    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.

  7. Jay says:

    The end? Hardly.

    I fully expect to win.

  8. TSM says:

    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:

  9. Willie G says:

    and this is what I get for my birthday… no vaginas, no honking, no no Avitable bashing, nothing….

    My birthday…. yeah… ahem gets commercials and old post. Happy freaking birthday to me

    See you tomorrow :hug:

  10. Sarah says:

    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.

  11. SciFi Dad says:

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

  12. Poppy says:

    What contest?

    Why am I awake?

  13. whall says:

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

  14. Cricky says:

    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.

  15. 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!

  16. Robina says:

    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.

  17. Finn says:

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

  18. Karl says:

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

  19. DCup says:

    I’m still here. You’re not swimming the streets with the alligators are you?

  20. Miss Britt says:

    avitable: why would I do that for you?

    Sybil Law: woo hoo! thank you oh loyal sybil!

    hello haha narf: it totally counts. He hasn’t sent you your shuffle yet?

    MammaLoves: well, that’s what we tell ourselves anyway. ;-)

    Undomestic Diva: what?!?!?!

    {Alli} Mrs. Fussypants: MUAH! Rumor has it someone has inspired her. :wink:

    Winter: you have an article already? Heck yeah – send it on over!

    Jay: your comment confuses me.

    TSM: yep, you did!

    Willie G: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Can you hear me singing??

    There’s a dance too.

    Sarah: I am wearing GAP jeans right now, as a matter of fact.

    SciFi Dad: wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :(

    Poppy: are you sure you’re awake?

    whall: we are so much more than a blog show.

    maggie, dammit: whew! Thank God.

    Cricky: you sound like me – and I’m an editor! LOL

    Jenny from Mommin’ It Up!: no, no, not YOU. Of course. YOU are our moral compass. :D

    Robina: it’s never too late to learn. :wink:

    Finn: I am emailing your awesomeness right now.

    Karl: sweet!

    DCup: not yet – I live on a hill!

  21. 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!

  22. metalmom says:

    Yes. I entered the contest. I wrote a post. What? You want more? Aren’t we the needy one? :lol:

    Hanging in there? GOODY!!! :clap:

  23. Robin says:

    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….

  24. Sarah says:

    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.

  25. Shelli says:

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

  26. 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!

  27. Stephanie says:

    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.
