Vortexia's Secret

so i'd like some feedback on a couple things. and i realize that fridays are probably the worst days to ask for feedback because about 90% of you don't read blogs on friday for some reason. isn't that the universal day to slack off and not get work done because it's already sorta the weekend? you guys must have a much better work ethic than i would have. but here it is...

this baby's first birthday is coming up fast. i feel like i've been at this for much much longer than just a year. so we should have some kind of celebration. maybe a "best of..." ranking, favorite memories, things to improve, poems and tributes to me, the blog, or other regular members of the posts (mayhem, the beer...), whatever.... or maybe all of us will get lazy and the birthday will come and go without any of us noticing.

the next big thing is the holiday season. i am in somewhat of a quandary about what to do with that. i'll be out of town for a week and a half before christmas, with the fam for christmas, unsure about the new years part, and then out of town after new years. i don't want to take a 3-week hiatus from the blog, but i'm not sure how much time i will have to post. with the whole anonymity thing i can't really do audioblog posts, and i don't want to make somebody else guest post for me for 3 weeks during the holidays. can you email posts to the blog???? if you can, then i could probably email posts except during my first week and a half trip away. even then it is possible that i could get one in (the people i'm visiting were pre-internet-in-the-home last i checked, and definitely aren't people from my personal life who should know about this blog.) so big quandary.... but that's still a little bit in the distance, so there is time to figure it out. if any of you have suggestions then please let me know. or if all of you are going to be away from checking blogs for those 3 weeks straight, then maybe i don't need to worry about it. so anyway, let me know if you have ideas, suggestions, or submissions for either idea.
