7:35 amTaking a Break
Hello, lovely readers… you really are looking nice today. *wink and finger point*
I’ve decided to take a break from the blog. It would seem that my life has no balance, and the blog has been getting a disproportionate amount of time and energy. Time and energy that should be put elsewhere. This probably seems weird since most of you are saying what time and energy? you hardly ever post?!? It’s a mystery, for sure. There is some sort of time/energy vortex that opens when I sit down and open up my blog. I sit for long periods of time, stewing and vexing, and then in the real world there isn’t much to show for it. (I request that some more scientific studies are done on this anomaly. But not by me.) I feel badly that there is time and energy being sucked from other areas of my life that deserve more attention. I’ve wanted to write “for real” for sometime, and if I would put as many words-per-day into my novel as I put here… well, maybe I’d be an actual novelist by now. Or not. Who knows…
So farewell for now, friends. If I can get it all together, get all my balls in the air, and then figure out how to get the blog back in there without all of the balls falling… well, that would be ideal, wouldn’t it? You can keep me on Google Reader, maybe I’ll surprise you sometime. For now, though, I’m focusing on family and other interests. I’ll still peek in on your blogs, though, from time to time.
Until we meet again…

Man, now I’m gonna have to call you to see what you’re up to. What a hassle!

Awwwwwwwww. But completely understandable. Yes, be in touch occasionally (we care!). And maybe you’ll just want to hang out in San Francisco this summer - I bet there’s a BlogHer session on Balancing Real Life & Blogging! Come on…It’ll be fun! (My best friend is going and she doesn’t even have a blog!)
Here’s hoping peer pressure works
And the sheer power of exclamation points. !!

Hey Suzanne. It’s a bummer to hear - because I’m all kinds of selfish - but I get it and have tossed the idea around too.
I’ll be looking for you, here and in my bookstore.
Take care.

The only reason I’m not crying over this is that I believe by taking a break, you’ll find inspiration and be back to the blog in no time. At least that’s what happens every time I say to myself, “I’m taking a break.”
At least I hope you’ll be back, at least now and then. Because I’m selfish.

I know we live close by — but how will I ever keep track of you guys without your blog??????
How about one day blogging, one day writing, one day homemaking, one day Jon, one day kids, one day everything else in the world you have to do, one day of sleep/rest? THEN … rinse and repeat!
luv u - mom

*Sigh* Just when I was becoming a regular reader. Was it something I said?
Hope you’re digging into your book and making some good progress.

I call foul. You should blog at least once a week — or at least more than that guy who posts yearly on www jtoo dot net.

I agree with Grant. I think once a week would keep the masses pacified. I’ll even commit to doing a weekly post (not that anyone reads my blog but that’s not the point.) if we can get just one short post each week.
