I’m on holiday. Whether I like it or not.

So, I’ll be back in the saddle September 8. Until then, I’m being forced to enjoy myself without the pleasures that work brings.

And I blame the Republicans.

You see, the Republican National Convention is being held next week a mere seven minutes from my home. Since my husband works near the venue – and since my daughter attends preschool where he works – everything is pretty much closing down because you won’t be able to get within a mile of the place in any sort of vehicle.

And good luck walking around there. Jeez.

We decided to simply take the week off, clean out the garage (joy!), visit with family, and even get oral surgery. Seriously. I’m getting oral surgery next Wednesday. All of this is preferable to the RNC.

In the meantime, here are some of my favorite entertaining and informative bloggers (not an exhaustive list):

The Pink Pamphlet

A Shot at Technical Simplicity

Go Big Always (duh)

Bemused Embrace of Nihilism

It’s the truth, even if it didn’t happen

There are more, but I’m tired.

I shall see you when the madness has moved on (unless I get some really awesome out-of-town wack jobs at my front door. Then, I’ll take pictures and at least tweet it).
