Just so you know...

I'm beginning a self-imposed blog break today.

I feel like there are more demands on my time right now than I can possibly meet if I'm using precious time to write a daily blog entry.

In the next couple of weeks, I've got to move back into my kitchen, (organizing as I go, since this is the perfect time to really plan out how my kitchen should work,) finish Christmas shopping, get three Christmas trees up and decorated, supervise the finishing of the remodel, make sure my kids stay on task with homework and other obligations, wrap all the presents, plan two birthday celebrations, do some Christmas baking, train the dog, clean the house top to bottom once all the construction is done, stay on top of laundry, etc, etc, etc...

I just need to remove the distraction of the computer for a few days.

I will be checking my email - once in the morning, and once at night, so I can still connect with people that way, but for now, the blog is officially on hold - at least through next Wednesday. Call it a fast from blogging, if you will. A blogfast.

My break will also include reading others' blogs - so if I'm a regular at yours, you'll know why I'm missing.

Thanks for understanding. And if you don't understand, don't whine about it.

I'll be back, I promise.

But in the meantime, I've GOT to be productive in my real life world.

Talk to you next week, friends.

    Why 3 trees? Can you give one of the kids the chore of doing laundry or at least the folding part? Sounds like you need some help. That is a Buttload if I've ever heard of one. Hee!

    WOW! That is some major will power you have. Good for you! I may have to do the same thing when I travel out to the PNW. I'm already freaking out about losing touch with my bloggy friends. Cathy, I'll miss you, but I admire your dedictation to the things that are your priorities. {{{HUGS}}}

    Blogfast with breakfast!

    Good luck on all your tasks (training the dog sounds like the most daunting one, to me)~

    I will miss you but like you - I have felt that something does get left on the back burner to long and that frantic feeling because you aren't doing your real life well is just not worth it. I stand with you in making the blog thing stand down for a moment, just so you know who is in control....good luck and many blessings - see you in the new year.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
