Oh my! I'm tempted but I know I can't keep up over the holidays so I'll have to pass on that. Who knew there were so many events like this? I sure didn't when I started blogging in October (which seems like a long time ago now!).

Have fun Holidailes!

Yay for us!

I'm taking a break from blogging. Writing every day on my blog when I'm writing every day for work gets tiring. Plus, the content gets shoddy.

Congrats to everyone who made it! Even bigger high-fives to those who managed not to write entries like mine "Erm, it's day 29 without a cigarette... yeah... good stuff..."

Yea! It's November 30 and I have pushed the button to publish my blog 30 times. whew! to celebrate, I'm going with my granddaughter to the zoo and will not type a thing for the rest of the day!

You know what they say about forming a habit, 30 days of blogging may have ingrained that habit in some of us. However, it's nice to take a day or so off, too.

I enjoyed the ramdomizer, it was a great way to find and tag new blogs.

First, I'm posting an "ode to NoBlo" on my blog, and then I'm going to STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD.

For a little while, anyway.

Congrats, all!

Holidailies sounds good. I'll go check that out. The old crumb "do something for 21 days and it becomes a habit" definitely applies here. I am ready to blog daily. I even started a third blog (the second I share with my husband) about my career.

In addition, it is possible that my blog entries pertaining to a health issue might be used in a patient education packet. I never thought the writing would result in financial gain, but it sounds like it might.

To celebrate, I think I'll have a big glass of wine tonight and some sort of yummy snack.

To celebrate? Perhaps invent InHaCoMo - International Haiku Composition Month ;3 I know, I'm brilliant!

Sighing with relief that there will be less to read in my feed reader.

Yippee! I'm going to go on a long bike ride and then eat a dangerously cheese laden hamburger from my favorite local burger joint. Which I realize is kind of oxymoronic, but it will taste so very good.

I liked posting every day ... not sure about my readers but *I* liked it!

I will maybe take a day off and then go back to my usual 3-4x a week posting,.

Congrats to my fellow bloggers who made it!

I made it but I don't know what I'm going to do to celebrate. I'll probably take the weekend off, lol.

I've never heard of Holidailies but maybe I'll check that out.

Drinking gin and wondering why it is sooooo easy to be disciplined about things for which there is no compulsion to be disciplined at all...while all the stuff that I really REALLY ought to do...yes, well.....
I'm a priest, so holidailies just aint going to be realistic, though I know I'll blog on every other day or so...I need to write.

What a good observation (re: discipline)! I am now working on a self discipline program now and think this is very interesting in light of how easy this was for me yet other things (things I like, even!) are harder to make myself do. HMM. Fodder for a blog post? LOL

10 days in Europe threatened my success but I managed to gut it out. Just posted my final November posting, Tollwood Winter Festival - Munich.

I'll be celebrating by not thinking about posting every day next month!

Congrats all!

I'm going to post today and then probably not post for a few days or even a few weeks. I'm usually a twice a month or monthly poster, so this was definitely a challenge for me. It was fun, but, I'm tired of it. I made it though!

Spend the weekend away from the computer :). And then go back to posting when I feel I have something coherent to say, probably several times per week or so.
