Your Attention, Please

I have convinced myself that blogging - and this blog in particular - is stupid.

I also have a severe case of writer's block and cannot even stand the sight of my own stupid pink banner. "Rimarama." It's just plain stupid.

I'm going to remove myself from this whole sordid business for awhile. Oh, I'll be back soon enough. It would kill me not to blog, but right now, blogging is killing me.

(*Kicks a garbage can, exits stage right*)

I will wait for you.

Cheri @ Blog This Mom! said...

Still waiting.

Cheri @ Blog This Mom! said...

Still.

Seriously.

If blogging is killing you, good for you to walk away with conviction.

But I don't think your blog is stupid. Anything but.

So if/when you come back? I'll be here waiting.

XOXO

I'll be here when you get back.

I hope you're not gone to long, because I might get hungry. Do you have any chocolate lying around that I can snack on while I'm waiting?

Seriously, I love your blog. Please come back soon. With chocolate, if possible.

You'll have A LOT of waiters. Yes, you will. You are a great writer and great writers go blank. Part of the process, unfortunately. But, the good stuff bubbles back up. Sending hugs to you.

Sarah said...

Oh no! I love your blog, and I am always excited when Google Reader tells me there's a new post. I do understand writer's block, though, so yeah. Hope you're back soon!

Magpie said...

The beauty of google reader is that we'll be here when you come back.

Becca said...

I can't wait until your return!

but come back soon!

I have no idea what you're talking about. I never (EVER) take long, unexplained breaks from blogging. When people think "Melissa", the words "consistency" and "supreme parental ability" come to mind. Plus I never get angry. And my hair is perfect. And by NO MEANS do I have gray pubic hairs. Nu-uh. No way...

However, I am unable to remove you from my reader (must be some sort of computer glitch...), so I'll be here when you return.

:)

Christy said...

Noooooooooooooo......

Well, maybe. OK, OK, I can sympathize. but I will also be awaiting your return. While nibbling on chocolate.

Tismee2 said...

Well it's been 17 hours so far and still no post. I guess you mean it.

I'll keep popping back.

Skiplovey said...

Duuuuuude we are so on the same page right now, my god is uncanny. I've been teetering between quitting the blog for awhile and canceling cable. I might just do both.

But dear Rima, please remember this during your break, you are a very funny little lady and yours is one of the few blogs that make me really happy to see in my reader. If you do quit, you're just going to have to move the Rima family to California, cuz I'll miss you, k?

Blog about someone else's sex life or your opinion of said sex life.

just mom said...

I just found you about a month ago and have dearly loved everything I've read so far. I totally can't blame you for maybe needing a bit of a break to refresh.

'Course, here's nOOb me who just made her first ever blog entry and still hasn't had the guts to go public with it yet. Eep!

My inbox and I will definitely miss getting notices that something new is up. But we'll definitely be here waiting for your return.

Somebody wanna pass me some of that chocolate too? ;)

Karen MEG said...

Rima, take that well-deserved break, you musn't let this kill you...this blog, of course, is anything BUT stupid. I'll be looking out for you when you get back

MamaGeek @ Works For Us said...

Dontcha dare!

On the serious, I couldn't agree more. At least twice a week I contemplate WHY I blog ONCE a week.

Yet why can't I quit you blogger!

Anyway, I feel ya Rima and I'm waiting too.

slouching mom said...

your blog's not dumb.

and you're funny.

i NEED the funny.

come back soon.

flutter said...

*gently sets garbage can upright*

*sits on lid*

*assumes pensive pose*


Blogging is kind of stupid.

*Pauses dramatically*


I think that's kind of the point: it's just for fun or connecting or practicing your craft. Or whatever.

You're in my Reader. You can't escape my notice when you return! So there.

*stands up and walks away from garbage can*

*thinks twice and returns to knock it over again*

*swipes palms against one another in a gesture of finality*

Marmite Breath said...

COME BACK! THAT IS ALL.

Kelly said...

Hey, while you are mired in Writer's Block, I am giving you an award. Stop by my blog to see.

Vodka Mom said...

dammit. WHere have I been? Oh, that's right - Daytona Beach.

Well, now that I'm back- get your ass blogging. Quit your whining and write.

tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap....

Surely something blogable has happened since the 3rd.

C'mon girl. Where's the Muse? Out with the flu?
