One of those posts I need to apologize in advance for the length of ...
A goodly portion of this post was written around a week ago, and I was conflicted on whether or not to hit the publish button. I'm not sure the wisdom of posting this ... but in the end I decided to, and I've interspersed some additional thoughts now that AHS12 is over. I apologize for the various awkward wordings, typos and case changes that resulted that I just don't have the time or patience to correct.
Let me start by saying that I am amused by the predictable reactions of some about the web to my not going to AHS12. If I had a dollar for every time I've been accused of "not having a life" I'd be rich, but when my life outside this blog actually gets in the way? Well then, now there's really got to be some other reason, ulterior motivation or nefarious cause for my "backing out" of attending the paleo event of the year. Well folks, it really is as simple as my husband starting a new job, this throwing a monkey wrench in my travel plans, and all sorts of things that now need to get done in August before my own job starts back up. I have far more scheduling flexibility than most, like my husband who has a "real job" and not a whole heckuvalot of vacation time. I'm glad I forgot to purchase his ticket to the Barefoot Ball which would have been our only "us" time. We planned to take a friend of his along so he would have someone to hang out with about Boston while I was doing my thing. I also wanted to stay at least through Monday as it's been a long time since I've been, and I dunno about y'all, but if I'm spending like $1000 for 4 days and 3 nights that don't include relaxing with my husband, I'm wanting to spend just a bit more to make a true vacation of sorts out of it. Maybe that's just me, but I'm thinking not.
