Hey, you're allowed to take a break. Enjoy your posts but don't beat your self up about not posting.

2009-07-21T15:24:47.351-04:00

I'm running two blogs (for two different real pay jobs) and two twitter accounts as well as my own. Sheesh. I find that I am struggling to find enough time to research which lowers the quality of the posts produced. *Sigh*

2009-07-21T11:28:36.106-04:00

Well, if blogs are like people then I would say that sometimes there is just nothing very interesting coming out of their mouths. So, there are going to be good days and not so good days.

2009-07-20T19:41:41.346-04:00

Well, I didn't know today's Bizarro World cloud had also stolen brains far more capable of far more brilliant thoughts than my own. I thought it was just me.

Don't leave us.
*clutches*

2009-07-20T19:01:17.073-04:00

Oh heavens no, my posts always come out flawlessly and effortlessly every.single.day. *coughbullcrapcough*

It happens to the best of us (and the mediocre of us too), so don't sweat it. You'll find your bloggroove (bloove?) again shortly.

Yeah, not sure what I would do with out my (every other) daily dose of the Crab.

2009-07-20T18:08:19.357-04:00

who says you have to be cute, funny, and creative ALL THE TIME? I enjoy your posts but don't get to read it and Merry's each day...so if you have to take time off, then that gives me a chance to catch up and read older posts. (Too positive and supportive? How about this... OH, MAN!! If I can't count on my daily blog posts, what can I count on?!!! what's this world coming to?)

So, you've hit a blogging "plateau" like with exercise. what's the advice out there: mix it up a bit.

I'm new to blogging. My goal has been to at least journal with an old-fashioned pen and paper. I always have writer's block. It's easier for me to respond to someone else's creativity than to produce something interesting on my own. I'm definitely brain-dead.

"Do something worth writing or write something worth reading." --someone famous said that but I'm too brain-dead to remember...but I always liked that quote.

Take care.

2009-07-20T17:39:58.828-04:00

Ha, blog block. Say that 10 times really quickly. Sounds like "block block".

Anyways...

And nope, it always flows. It's just part of being awesome. ;)

I'm more than happy to wait :-)

Not only do I get Blogging Block, I get Reading Blogs Block and Commenting on Blogs Block!

2009-07-20T15:13:49.860-04:00

When I first started I didn't seem to have a problem with posting almost every day, but now...not so much. I just don't seem to have the time/energy to put into it. Not sure why.

I always look forward to reading Cranky Fitness though!

2009-07-20T14:16:05.362-04:00

Grandmotherhood is seriously interfering in my case. But I did throw up a post today!!!

Sometimes I think you have to live life (I think MizFit did this not long ago) and not be constantly thinking, Oh can I work this into a blog? It's like carrying a camera around with you all the time, recording your life. Sometimes you just want to put it down and smell the roses. Or the newborn baby, as the case may be...

2009-07-20T14:10:35.638-04:00

Can you say "blog block" three times fast?

I find that the more I write, the more easily the flow comes. So right now with keeping up two blogs I'm finding that I have plenty of stuff to write about... it's the time that sometimes gets to me!

Liked the green post :)

2009-07-20T14:09:52.201-04:00

Oh, are we supposed to post daily? I'm lucky if I manage weekly these days. We would miss you though, but would then welcome you back with open arms and a sigh of relief.

You've lost your brain? Join the club.

Posting: ebb and flow. Sometimes I feel like I'm spewing too much on the interwebs. Other times I feel as though I've gone dry.

2009-07-20T12:05:59.123-04:00

Wow I think you are pretty consistent, I rarely post everyday, there just isn't enough going on in my brain to share I guess. You can blame the gorgeous weather for frying your brain this week.

2009-07-20T11:28:42.397-04:00

I can't really consider myself a "blogger" because I post so erratically. But I find it incredible that people can come up with content every day. I tried that for a WEEK and couldn't do it.

I suppose some of it has to do with the fact that I have a business to run, which occupies most of my time, but I'm still enamored of those who can put out consistent (and consistently good) content.

So, don't kick yourself. It's harder than it looks.

2009-07-20T11:24:30.659-04:00

I have a lot of blogs I visit (I know I'm not nearly disciplined enough to have my own -- I don't even a picture on my Facebook page. Very lazy on this stuff) and I miss it when people don't have new entries. I think having a blog as you do would be a lot of work.

I got to this site from a mention on another and I wanted to commend you -- I love it! I'm wondering if the pcitre on the "who is" site might be from New Mexico -- it looks like an area I hiked with some of my siblings and one of my kids a few years ago. I also like your practical stances on exercise and diet. (I do Weight Watchers, and I get exasperated when they keep harping on how exercise has to be "fun." I finally said once, at a meeting, "it doesn't have to be fun. You just have to do it." Boy, was there a shocked silence!

For us, it's been a very mild summer, so I've been doing more walking outdoors than I normally would have. I still hit the gym several days a week, doing weights, elliptical and treadmill, but I'm also doing walking outdoors. What I need to do is start varying my route -- getting bored with where I can go from my house. And for those who live in Boston or the NYC area, there are some GREAT books with all kinds of routes through the cities. The NYC is called "Fun on Foot in New York," and covers surrounding areas as well. The authors have mapped out interesting routes, (even downloadable maps), plus have info on each one, such as points of interest, water fountains, public transit, etc. I wish I'd had this last year when we visited there.

And as I said, there are books for jogging and walking routes in other cities as well.

Now that I've found this site, I'll check back in -- hopefully you'll be back!

2009-07-20T11:06:10.936-04:00

The thing is, what is "blah" to you when you write it is actually very interesting to me when I read it! Plus you put up cool LOL cats pictures - how can you deny us???!!?

(see you Wednesday!)

I'd love to leave a comment but am in the midst of a serious commenter's block. Hope it passes by the time you return. Hurry back!

(BTW, saw Kyra's husband, Kevin Bacon, in an incredibly moving DVD last night, "Taking Chance". Highly recommended!)

2009-07-20T10:44:02.486-04:00

Ha! Sometimes I think I have the best idea and write what I think is the best blog post in the entire UNIVERSE and it goes over like a lead filled balloon. Good blog posts can be forced. Good blog days and bad ones, just like life.

In times of blogging drought, never forget that you have cupcakes to fall back on...writing about them (with photos) that is!

2009-07-20T10:38:20.778-04:00

Words don't always just flow.

If you are deciding something big in your life, or even something small, stop and think: What will I wish I had done when I am 80?

I think if you quit blogging, you would regret it when you looked back.

Having nothin' is no excuse. If I waited til I had something worthwhile, nobody'd ever hear from me...

2009-07-20T10:34:49.864-04:00

Are you kidding? I've only posted fifty-something times since November.

As someone who admittedly is prone to having enough of herself from time to time, even writing one word seems too masturbatory.

Couple that with the fact that what's been on my mind flirts with airing dirty laundry - I'm left with not much to say.
