Something I Never Thought I'd Say.

This will be my last daily blog for a while.

I'm a competitive little vegemite and hate giving up on a challenge - but to be honest? Since the day I started this blog in April 2006 (with the exception of my New Zealand holiday last year) I have blogged every single day. Hell, I've technically already completed Blog 365. I have no shame in throwing in the towel on this one.

I value you guys too much to post crap.
I've got loads of things to say but not much energy to post them.
I need to take a wee break.

(Ha! A wee break.)

It's time to take a step back.

  1. We'll be here when you get back, kiddo.

    Don't be weeing on yourself or in your pants or anything!

  2. Good for you to take a creative break when you need it! I have been in that situation before that I had things to write about but did not have the energy to write or just was not able to put my thoughts into a coherent text.
    I'm looking forward to your return though! ;)

  3. Yeah, we will not be going anywhere. Enjoy your creative break and I hope to see you around, refreshed and with lots more LOLcats

  4. I think your record is pretty amazing. I'd imagine that it would feel forced occasionally if you try and keep up the daily posting. I know it did for me. Anyways, quality over quantity is always a good thing. :)

    Seriously.

  6. Oh girl. I am there right now. Sometimes you want to post, but don't have anything worthwhile to say. Or sometimes you want to post, but don't have the mental capacity to make it what it should be.

    I totally understand. Go with it, girl. :-D

  17. Aly, as much as I love reading you every day, I think you've made a good decision. We all get tired and a little jaded on the blog front now and then.

    We know you won't be going far, but there's no shame in just blogging every couple of days, or whenever you feel like you have something to say!

  18. Will miss you! But we'll definitely be here when you get back from your break.

  21. I am new to your blog and am so excited to keep reading! I have a blog too and there is no way I could write something every single day so I am totally amazed that you could do it for so long. You deserve a break and I will be here when you get back!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I shall be here waiting with baited breath for you to return :)

    Hopefully with pictures of something fun that you did!! And more info about your US trip!

  23. That sounds good. Blogging isn't a contest, and quality over quantity is better any day of the week.

  29. I honestly don't know how you have done it babe. I have been blogging since August and I am down to 3 maybe 4 a week. I just can't do it everyday.

    Especially with my self imposed visit and comment on every commenter blog policy, blogging was becoming a chore.

    Take a break and you will find you will be excited to blog again. I just know it.

  30. I totally understand. Well when you come back I have moved. I used to be 1218blog but now I am with wordpress.

  31. Have a great break- you'll just have all the more time and energy to go out and do really exciting things that we'll be dying to hear about whenever you're ready! Don't forget to remind me when you'll be in New Orleans. We should definitely meet up!!! It would be my first meet-a-blogger experience! wheeeeeeeeeee!

  32. Yay! Join me as a lazy blogger... when you do post it will make it all that more special.

    Love you xx

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh yeah! And I forgot to tell you - come back even if it's just to say hi and give us an update. It doesn't have to be only moving, thoughtful posts.

    Deal?
