Getting disconnected

For the last couple weeks, I've been feeling kind of blah about blogging and the Internet umbilical cord I've somehow managed to get attached to. I love blogging and checking others' blogs, but I'm getting a little burned out. I think a bit of a break is in order. Enough to recharge my batteries and get me excited again rather than feeling like blogging and blog-reading is a chore - an obligation I've imposed on myself.

So, I'm going to take a break for a while. Maybe a week or two or three. Maybe longer. If I sew something and feel like blogging about it, then I will, but I'm not going to give myself any sort of requirements. If I don't feel like blogging then I won't. I'm participating in a few swaps and one bee so I'll for sure stay active in Flickr to keep up with those responsibilities.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know what my plans are so I'm not just leaving you hanging. I really think this will do me some good. AND, I want you all to know how much I truly appreciate all your comments that have kept me blogging this last year. You really are the best and I will miss you while I'm on sabbatical.

Till then...

    I have been feeling the exact same way. I feel myself slowing down on the whole blogging thing. I cut almost 100 blogs out of my reader last week to minimize my collection of blogs. I also don't have the time to sew that I used to. I might be joining you soon on your blogging hiatus.

    Good for you! I think we all need a break at sometime or another. Enjoy the freedom!

    (And isn't it funny, you/we feel obligated to tell people about time off/away...)

    Take as much time as you need, we'll be here when you get back!!
    Oh and if it helps...I added this button http://www.tartx.com/blog/?page_id=233
    to my blog and for whatever reason it took the pressure off. Maybe it could do the same for you.

    Have fun and enjoy the break. This is not life support...we can live without the internet. =)

    I know how you feel, my blog reader is getting out of control. I recently imposed a moratorium on adding more blogs to it! We'll miss you, but I'm sure the break will do you good!
