The worst offender, and the one that was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, and caused me to write the post out of frustration, is just full of insecurities. Yet it never even occurred to me that THAT'S what all that announcing of the blog breaks was all about -- a plea for people to beg her not to... <br /><br />I should have figured that one out... glad you did, you put my annoyance to rest. ;)Prairie Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470135432748627058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-37643136685026079622009-05-19T10:44:00.000-04:002009-05-19T10:44:00.000-04:00Oh, I'm sure you were referring to me! :) I know t...Oh, I'm sure you were referring to me! :) I know that you wait, on the edge of your seat, for me to post another spell-binding blog about my mundane life. Just kidding! Seriously, I'm pretty sure you're my only reader, unless someone comes across it by accident. But then I don't blog about taking a break from the computer. I don't feel guilty about my time spent on the computer (usually). Quite often, I'm researching something or I'm working and I switch back and forth to take a break. When I'm busy, as I have been lately, I'm just not there. I don't feel the need to let everyone know. I do have a couple of things to blog about, so that may be coming. Anyhow, enjoyed this and wonder that maybe people blog about taking a break because they want others to beg them not to! They want a reassurance that others cannot live without reading their particular blog...just my take on it. Did I just write a blog about your blog?? :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858720522828231380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-62391882095979619172009-05-17T22:14:00.000-04:002009-05-17T22:14:00.000-04:00People always ask me why I'm on Facebook every day...People always ask me why I'm on Facebook every day. And it's to see what people are doing. Or why do I have so many friendss. I can't purposefully keep in contact with the 5 - 20 kids each year that graduate that I've had in youth group for the past 10 years, and then the people who were in it with me. I can sign on to one place and see everything. I think it's great that we can keep in contact without an overwhelming effort.<br />I don't feel the need to take a break or rather announce it. If I'm tired one night or have something else, I do it and then am on the next night I've heard people say they are taking a break, but I just not sure what they hope to accomplish.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849701205525247867noreply@blogger.com
