This is a hypothetical situation. Wouldn’t it be cool if a blogger you knew, no one in particular, was asked to do something really fun, like say, author a blog for her organization?
Of course, if something like that happened, the blogger probably shouldn’t be talking about it on her personal blog. It’s possible, in fact, that management might have suggested in plain language that she don’t mention anything on her personal blog. And since the blogger might have become aware in the same conversation that management had already been reading her blog (right about the time a blogger might have been discussing such credibility-enhancing issues as toilet habits of stubborn three year olds and Flying Spaghetti Monsters) it would probably be in that blogger’s best interests to keep her mouth shut for once.
I’m just sayin’.
On a completely unrelated note, I’ll be doing some business travel in the next little while, and I’m completely freaked out about it. Not so much the travel, but the traveling while leaving Beloved behind with the Wee Beasties. While he’s more than proven his mettle as a capable stay-at-home dad, three days without backup is a long stretch. The Wee Beasties will be in daycare for two of the three days, which helps, and my folks are just around the corner.
I’ll try not to fret too much as I order room service, stretch out in the crisp sheets of a bed I don’t have to share and leave my wet towels on the bathroom floor for someone else to pick up and put away. (Okay, I’ll be leaving a big tip for the maid, too, but it will be worth it!!)

I say, take is as a compliment. If they thought your writing sucked, they wouldn’t have recruited you as an author.
Anybody who can make a 3-year-old’s potty training travails seem lyrical must have something on the ball…

Seriouly jealous
P.S. have such a good time.
Laughing. Make sure to fling your limbs out so you take up the WHOLE BED. And have a great trip.
You already know how I feel…for other reasons but the thought of 3 nights ALONE in hotel room(s) with room service &/or take out or even eating in restaurant with NO crayons at the table turns me every shade of green with envy.
Do your thing (and I know you’ll do it in usual most excellent nature) and enjoy your time.
Just think – travel time – sipping diet coke reading magazine/novel and minimal interruptions, except for a refill. Aaaaahhhh….congrats!!
hey Dani! congrats on this cool job opportunity and enjoy your alone time, a very special and rare treat. You are a very lucky woman to have such an exciting job AND a dh who can find his way around the house with his 2 boys.
Enjoy and tell us all about it on your return
