In Which I Prove That I Can Actually Read
If you happen to be in Atlanta this weekend, you know, on your weekend jaunts across the country, or you happen to live here and haven't outed yourself yet (and aren't having a baby), then please consider visiting me and Mir at the Decatur Book Festival. We'll be reading from Sleep is for the Weak as well as our blogs tomorrow from 11:15-12pm (check the schedule for exact location).
And if you plan on throwing anything, I prefer candy over tomatoes. So sue me. I'm pregnant.
Since it happens to be a family friendly event, I probably won't be offering a dramatic interpretation of Crocs of Shit, To Catch a Thief, or that post about a vibrating leather cock ring, but I will be reading a couple of my faves, perhaps edited to "Motherhood Slightly-Censored" status, but my favorites all the same.
Also, Rita, our fearless editor will be visiting me the following weekend for our official book signing party on September 6 at the Beehive Co-op (4-7pm). Again, kids are welcome and we'll have plenty of books and door prizes courtesy of Cool Mom Picks from ATL locals like Tiny Revolutionary, Blabla Kids, idbids, and Darling Mummy (you know, just to name drop). I'm not sure our humble Atlanta party will drum up as much controversy as the DC affair, but I suppose we could always try.
Where's my hedonist bully when I need her?
And finally, if you participated in the Blog the Recession by not only writing a post AND placing a button your blog, then make sure your blog name is linked in the post. If it's not that means I didn't receive your email or you did email me but I couldn't find your post and/or your button link. Best fix that and drop me an email (motherhooduncensored@yahoo[dot]com) before Monday so I can link you up and enter you in the prizes.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hey, Pretty Bride was out of town (with me in Nashville) that weekend, but she left a dress for your "goodie bag." My understanding is that it had owls on it?

I just got my copy of the book and I'm hoping to come to Beehive Saturday and out my Atlanta self (Mableton counts right?) - can't wait to meet all of you and here is hoping the 13-month old will be on her good public behavior...

Missing the book signing where you are going to be makes me miss living in Georgia.
You should totally come up to the DC book signing! It's not that far. 10 hour drive. That's nothing when you are pregnant. heh.

Congrats! That's so cool. Have fun at the book signing.

Enjoy the book signing - wish I could be there to see all of you, but while I love driving, that's a little too far for a day trip.

Have fun at the book festival - I wish I could be there to cheer you on! If you get candy, I hope it's imported chocolate. Have a fabulous long weekend.
Oh - have you thought of doing a baby naming contest? The winner could be the person who guesses what you end up naming the baby. Could be fun. Maybe?

Wish I could make it! Maybe next time. You sure are busy for a pregnant lady about to pop! Have fun!

Good Luck! So wish I could be there!

Dude, I can be everyone's hedonist bully. I'm not exclusive.
EVERYONE BUY BABY STUFF FOR KRISTIN!!! DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE AND, LIKE, FORCE YOU TO DO COKE OUT OF A PROSTITUTE'S NAVEL. OR SOMETHING.
Did that sound convincing?
Okay, my job is done here.

It's a holiday weekend and you have a lot on your plate. I hope you have a great time, and look forward to hearing about it!
