Blog Widows
We have just arrived home from the 2007 Blog Awards, held at Cool Runnings in Fourways.
A very successful and entertaining evening with the 'South African Weblog of the Year' going to Tertia Albertyn's blog, So Close. Congratulations Tertia! The venue was a tad loud for my taste but the atmosphere was great. The food was excellent and the guys had a great time playing foosball and just playing around in general.
On a more personal note, I found myself seated with three non-geek/blogger wives. At this point I must mention that although I do blog, I still consider myself a non-geek. So it was great to find myself in the company of these women.
We all came to realise over the course of the evening that we are not alone.
I now know that its not just my husband who is permanently attached to his computer, who watches TV and blogs with his laptop plugged into the nearest power supply at the same time, that I'm not the only one who refuses to share my bed with my husband and his laptop.
Its great to be able to talk to other women like me, women who understand what its like to be a blog widow. Don't get me wrong though, we love our husbands and wouldn't change them for the world!
So, this post is dedicated to all the women (and I'm sure there are men out there too) who lose their spouses to the computer more often than not. There are others out there, you are not alone.
