Come out, come out where ever you are…
I am declaring today Immoral Matriarch Delurking Day. I ask that if you are someone that reads but doesn’t like to comment that you do so today. I want to tell you how much I adore you. If it’s your first time here and you like what you see, or if we’ve fallen out of touch and you happen to be reading this, let me know. If you always read me in your reader, click over and make an exception! Even if you just leave a smiley. If you’re not a lurker, say hello too. I’d like to see how many people are out there today. It’ll be just this one day a year, I promise. I saw someone else do this on their blog, and I’m just curious. (:
***
I’ve been in a blogging funk lately. So, I’ll be taking a break for about two or three weeks at the end of this month, going into the next. I’ve lined up some awesome guest posters [like seriously, AWESOME] for you during that time, and a couple of people want to rent out this space for the weekend so we’ll have those coming up soon as well. I have enough posts already written to last me up until then, but I’ll warn you, they suck.
By the time my self-imposed hiatus comes along, believe me, you’ll be ready for me to be gone.
***
I’ll leave you with this gem. Try not to have wet dreams. :)
Lesbian Dad, ME!, Mr. Lady

Never read your blog before. Got an email from Divine Caroline and your site had the most votes so far in the Parenting category, so I thought I’d drop by and see what the fuss was about. I enjoyed reading your blog. To quote the Governator, “I’ll be back.”

Don’t we get a vote or something? Not sure that your “hiatus” is sanctioned. I demand to be entertained. Oh, what’s that you say? This is YOUR damn blog! Well, then fine - take your “break”! See if … oh, who am I kidding. I’ll still be here. And I’ll probably enjoy every minute of the blog-sitters too. Is Lesbian Dad coming over? After seeing you two on a panel together, I can only imagine the foul language she’d throw around on your site.

I think you’re a very good writer, with a LOT of potential - the best part about you is that YOU ARE REAL. You ain’t afraid to bring it. I love that about you.
Writers always have room for improvement.
