RE: Brief Blog Hiatus August 20, 2006

All –
I am taking a blog vacay starting today and running until September 1. It is for a lot of reasons, all of them personal. But the most important is that I simply need a break from blogging and if I just stop posting for a few days that won’t be enough.
I need an actual moratorium on blogging here. Days and days of no new content to cleanse my blogger’s palate. I am tired and working constantly, I’m stuck in a dating rut from hell and am feeling like to put myself out there too much – and, in the wise words of my favorite cheesy country song of the moment by Julie Roberts, “Men and mascara, they always run.”
I know what you’re thinking. How many blogs disappear after a hiatus? Go on break and never come back? And how could I need a break from something I enjoy?
Not me my friends. I enjoy having this journal too much to leave for good. It’s become an extension of me, a cherished placed for my thoughts and a special secret that only I know about.
In short, I simply love it.
But it can be rough sometimes. I feel pressure to produce new and higher quality posts, to go on more dates, to give more of the dirty details about my encounters, to live the Charming, but single life … and sometimes it gets tiring. And I don’t always have something fun to do and I like to just hang and I really need some down time.
To be notified via e-mail of my return, please join my fancy Yahoo! Newsletter group and by e-mailing charmingbutsingle-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or visiting http://groups.yahoo.com/group/charmingbutsingle/. It is announcement only and I’ll be sure to send y’all an e-mail upon my glorious return to the ’sphere, feeling refreshed, relaxed and metaphorically tanned. And you can still send me e-mail at the address on the right. I will try to read and respond as I can.
Now drink a cosmo with me and go play with the other bloggers on my ‘roll …
Bye (for now),
La Charming
Have a good break, I’ll definitely be awaiting your return.

You will be missed! Thanks for filling my boring teachers summer with something to read. I also thank you for your indirect advice. Reading your blog has made me want to get back out there and try. You inspire us all. Can’t wait to read what this fall will bring. Enjoy your time away and hope everything goes the way you want it to!

Raise a cosmo or two of your own (oK. or three or four!) and enjoy your hiatus…!
enjoy your downtime. you’ll come back a rested, happy blogger. i need to challenge one thing you said:
“How many blogs disappear after a hiatus? Go on break and never come back?”
more often than not, i see bloggers return after an announced hiatus. like you, it’s in the blood.
Will miss you. Hope you come back rejuvinated. And remember, chocolate makes everything better.
I’m sure you’ll be back - blogging is a great release.
Enjoy your rest!
have a great vacation! Looking forward to your return
I will miss your posts. Hurry back.
from the way you were writing, it sounded like you were going to take a month off, but only a week? A week barely qualifies as a break, you might feel better if it were longer. and I love julie roberts
