You will thank me, really…

I really don’t know what I was thinking.

I don’t have enough brain cells to rub together for a spark, let along 30 posts in 30 day. A mere six days in and my brain is numb. I was considering transcribing the ingredient list of my favorite crunchy cheese snacks ~ in haiku form ~ as my next post.

Unless you want to be subjected to even more mundane, inane, rambling gibberish, you’ll thank me in the end for putting an end to this madness. My stress level is already at imminent meltdown and the added obligation to deliver content, and supposedly content of artistic merit, was self imposed lunacy.

I credit my retreat to sanity to Kelley and a timely Twitter intervention… I am returning to posting when I want, as often as I want ~ or not ~ for the whole of November, into December and beyond.

Yeah, I’m a follower, but even I know my limits. This one, this do-nothing-unless-I feel-like-it, this is a campaign I can get behind with enthusiasm. And, yeah… I’m a quitter too, but I won’t lose any sleep over it ~ judge me if you will.

Really, you will thank me and your Reader will thank me. I had the best of intentions, but I also have nothing of substance prepared and not much hope of pulling anything of worth out of my ass any time soon.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program already in progress.

    i.hated.it.

    I post every day, pretty much. It’s only in November when I feel the need NOT to post every day.

    MWAH!

    Now to get the rest of the biatches in my reader to follow suit…

    I had to Mark As All Read last night and it gave me heart palpitations.

    Stoopid November.

    Hilarious. But the wonderful thing about you is the fact that you’re a near-daily read as it is, so it’s not like your greatness is going to be lost :)

    But yeah … I so get this. My Monday-Friday posting is going well, but this whole weekend deal is getting to me. I just don’t go online on the weekends, at least not to write posts and it’s killing my offline social life.But since I’m determined to win this shit (what I don’t know, but whatever) I’m going to have to come up with something else for weekends. Which sucks.

    What’s the date again? Nov. 7? Shit.

    I tried the 30 posts in 30 days thing and I lasted a WHOLE DAY! Yes, it didn’t take me long to blow it. Life just happens and I can’t blog every day. Didn’t take me long to learn that lesson. I should have known better. I am also a follower and quitter. I’ll step in line behind you. Thanks for making me feel better!

    I sure would love to see that haiku, though…I bet I’d award it an A+! Still look forward to reading what you post when you feel like posting it, though…

    I naturally do the blog every day thing, but if I was committed to, I would hate it.

    BTW, I could help with Fridays–I’m sure you have plenty of randomness for Friday Fragments :)

    I don’t think you’re a quitter–you’re a realist! It’s not easy HAVING to post everyday. Hey, I’d like to be able to post even once a week, I simply don’t have the time.

    *Applauds*

    Love your attitude!

    Remind me to email you about something, I am cracking up here. That being said, I did this last year, and was SO proud of myself. Between you & me, though, I did a lot of scheduled posts on the weekends cause it was SO DAMN HARD to pull myself away!

    :) No worries Mama!

    I still love you & don’t think you’re a quitter at all!

  13. 2009 November 8

    I couldn’t do it! It would make blogging feel like homework!

  14. 2009 November 8

    Yeah. Me too. I just flirted with crazy for a moment. Now, we’re all broken up.

    ;)

    I’m a pre-emptive quitter myself. I’m not sure how anyone can do thirty post in thirty days it’s all I can do to get the house clean in thirty hours. I love to post but I love to do it on my own schedule and not feel preasured into doing something. So I can get fully behind the post as you feel like and look forward to reading what your feeling over the next month.
