Sorry to drop a bomb like that and run, but there has been a lot to do this morning...so let me bring you up to speed.
My wife knows how much I love the Blogging world, and writing, but SERIOUSLY drew the line at letting me go party with 1500 women in a hotel for a weekend. And as we have been mapping out travel plans for the year, BlogHer has always been at the back of my mind. Nagging.
So when my wife's best friend had a baby a while back, she started making plans to go visit them...by herself...with daddy home babysitting for the weekend. And thus began what I refer to now as "Guiltgate".
Now here is the part of the story I can't get into too much detail on...how I will be getting in. See, like all of you, I have made great friends in the Blog world, and some of those friends have offered to help me attend a sold out BlogHer '09 conference. Yes, I will be paying, btw, and that is all I can say.
So as my blushing bride and I sat to discuss last night, again the topic came up. And again I pushed as hard as I could without having to scour the yellow pages for daddy-friendly divorce lawyers.
And then...SHE SAID YES!!!!
only...with conditions.
Condition #1. I'm not allowed to have sex with anyone except myself.
Condition #2. I have to stay with her friend who lives in Chicago. This was a tough one for me, but I understand that doing so will give her some comfort. So dammit, but ok.
Condition #3. I have to call her fucking constantly.
Condition #4. I have to go see family friends who live close to Notre Dame, and that will cut into some of the things I want to attend, but again, so be it.
Condition #5. I have to owe her a lot. For a long time. This one is subjective, so I may be able to get around it as soon as I get back.
Anyway...I AM GOING!!
Now before any of you crazy broads ask, I am not giving out my travel details...another condition of my wife's because she firmly believes you all to be sex starved internet loonies.
But I hope to lay eyes on you at some point!! I should be easy to spot...I'll be the BlogHIM.

very cool. have fun! wish i were going... LOL about the sex starved maniacs btw!!!
p.s. that being said... i would NEVER let my husband go. haha!
Your wife is planning something...be prepared when you come back.
Have fun.
I am so jealous. Now everyone but me is going. Just Kidding. I hope you have fun, but not too much fun because that would probably mean you were breaking some of the "rules."
Your wife is a wise woman. Everyone should always know their boundaries.
Unfortunately, my job won't allow time off to go to Chicago. I really want to meet some fellow bloggers...
The real question is, did you squeal like a little girl when she relented?
Come on, you know you did.
Have fun!!
Jay, do you have a conference pass? It appears I am not attending, now :(
3 of my 6 children are sick, to include my infant who I was going to bring with me. I breastfeed, so where he goes,I go, and since he can't go, neither can I :(
Your wife is smart, too bad she just couldn't join you. I would SO be going with my Hubby! :) Have a blast!
And another one bites the dust. That makes everyone. Everyone but me that is.
Have fun...whatever...
I'm so excited for you........your wife is a darling to let you go (and for the record, I think I'd want her conditions, too). She's smart, too. You're going to owe her for like, forever. :)
I want all the details. Work your magic and bring her WITH you to SITScation in Vegas in October! :)
You guys crack me up!
I'm SO jealous! Wish I could go, but alas, I felt I was too 'green' a blogger to attend. But next year...(fingers crossed!) :)
Your wife is a very wise woman...I think all of her conditions are very reasonable! :) And remember - you owe her...BIG time! ;)
They are all sex starved maniacs but you are a good husband. And your wife is a saint! All the cool kids are at Blogher and I am stuck here being a ref in the great "MINE!" arguement of 09!
Lucky duck! I am so going to try to go next year...
OMG. You pulled off the impossible. So jealous. Maybe if I had promised not to have sex with anyone but myself...maybe that would have worked?
