Thank you and Goodnight

Some of you may have noticed that I've taken a break from blogging. I needed it, as it was becoming a chore to write new posts and attempt wittiness and worry about alienating people, and saying the wrong thing, and frankly, I wasn't enjoying it anymore.



In addition, it's been well-documented on this blog that when I start interneting for fun, I get nothing done for the rest of the day. And it's completely true: when I use the internet to look things up and apply for jobs, I don't spend much time online, and I get to actually live my life, instead of researching the things I want to do. Plus, as I send out more and more applications, I've been wondering how blogging would fit into my life when I'd work 40 hours a week, and work out, and plan a wedding, and still learn to cook and work on my crafting, and realized that I can't do it all. And since working, exercise, wedding planning, crafting, reading, and learning to cook all give me a much better sense of accomplishment (which in turn, leads to a more confdent and less neurotic Tricia), while blogging doesn't make me feel like I've "done" something, and makes me feel like I've let the entire internet down by skipping workouts, I'm going to stop blogging.



Plus, on a more geeky level, I just got a Wii fit, and have been doing that in the mornings, when I should be blogging (I think it's fun and can contribute to overall health and weight loss through NEAT, but in itself is not a great workout, at least the way I use it). And frankly, it gives me meaningless computer-generated praise that for some reason is like crack to me. And pretending to hula hoop is more fun than writing.



I'll still be reading and occaisionally commenting on your blogs (again, there's the coming up with witty things), and I'll still be updating BridalJock once a week, at least until the thank-you notes are all sent. I may also beg for guest posting spots, and my e-mail will be checked at least every other day, so I'll still be up for "talking".



I'd like to thank everyone who, over the years of my blogging (yes, years, which is crazy for me to think about), have made it such a great experience, and I really do hope to keep in touch with everyone I've met through the internet.
