Blog Break
I'm in need of a blog break, BAD. (See? I'm so stressed out I've stopped using adverbs.)
I'm going to rest my bloggy brain cells, and I'll be back on Wednesay for WFMW. Incidentally, it will be a themed edition this time: it's What DOESN"T Work For Me. Share with the internet some things you've learned the hard way. (Just remember your kids might read this someday...)
Speaking of sharing things, I have a post up at BlogHer today that invites participation from readers. Want to tell us the best things your mom taught you? Head over there.
See you in a few days.









Enjoy your break.

rest. confident that your previous contributions to the blogosphere have made a difference. Today, I . . .
. . . took my purse inside 7-11 with me today, just for the few short minutes it took to buy Slurpees. Instead of leaving it in the car. Like I have for - oh, EVER.

If anyone understands the value of a blog break it's me. :) See you Wednesday!

I always say I'm gonna take a break, but then I go crawling back...I'm addicted to blogging, plain and simple...

Darn - I just discovered your wonderful blog. Oh, well, I'll be waiting patiently for your return. I understand the need for a break from blogging! I have a lot to read here to keep me busy until you get your groove back. :-)

I'm doing the same this next week--a short blogging "sabatical." Ah, looking foward to it...

Have a nice break!
Also, is there something in the air? I've noticed that a lot of bloggers are taking breaks right now. Anyone else noticed that?
(And then there are those of us who probably *should* take breaks, but don't.) :)

Hi. Hoping this isn't TMI for a not very often commenter. But tampons don't work for me. Not on Wednesday. Not on any day.
Probably not what you were looking for but after twelve years of trying to use the damn things I've finally decided my body is not designed to have cotton wads shoved up it. Or vice versa. Whatever.
Take another nap, you deserve it.

Condoms didn't work for me. Thanks Trojan! Thanks a lot!
(Anyone know if you can sue a condom company for child support? :P)

Enjoy your break. This should be the least of your worries when off-line life gets hectic. I personally love the tampon (which I'm totally in complete agreement with) & condom (which I'm PRAYING will work for me until my chicken-butt husband goes to the Dr!) comments so far! Maybe contenders for 'What DOESN'T work Hall of Fame'???

Just a whisper into the quiet to say:
Rest in the break, Shannon.
We all need time away. Peace. Quiet. Solitude.
I hope you are finding it all abundantly....

Enjoy the break though I have to say that I'm glad there's lots for me to read here while you are gone (I'm relatively new as well) because I love your blog.

There must be something in the water - I tried to do the same thing. Having a hard time fitting blogging into my daily life. I will check back when your posts are up again - always funny and always fun to read! Thanks!

Oh, how fun! I've been thinking of suggesting this idea to you forever, but I kept thinking, "I don't know her and it is her blog after all." I'm so glad you're doing this. I can think of lots of things that don't work for me, hee, hee.
Enjoy the rest of your break!
