Yes, I think so.
I mean seriously, the last post was in AUGUST. That’s just plain unacceptable. Ridiculous. And you know why? Because this is me:
“I could write about this, but what if it’s not funny enough”
“I really should do a blog post but I don’t feel witty enough right now”
“I could write about this but they probably wouldn’t think it was interesting”
“I feel like writing a blog post but now that it’s been THREE WEEKS, I KNOW they are expecting something GREAT and I’m not feeling great coming on at the moment.”
You see?
So, I think the comments must come down for now so I’ll start writing again. The pressure, you know?
I love you guys and I hope you’ll still email me, after all, that’s when we best get to know each other anyway.
Much love,
Jamie

I love your site, however infrequently you post, but SO get what you’re saying. I’m trying to persue other writing opportunities and now I feel the pressure to keep my blog “up” but really I just need to focus on the other. I can go weeks without being able to think of one funny thing. Oy oy oy!
While I can’t imagine that was helpful in any regard, I still wanted to sneak in a comment!

Are the comments on?
Can you see this?
Hellooooo? Are they on? I think they are on.
How do you turn them on? Are they on?

Bless your heart Jamie! I assure you that I would read your blog even if you copied and pasted the yellow pages. We are friends remember, and friends are allowed to “just be real” sometimes. Tell me some new fugee stories (do you have new fugees yet?), tell me about where you are in the adoption process, tell me how awesome Boise, Idaho is. Now, if I could just find your damned email address again, I would just tell you personally that you should take that silly pressure off of yourself, but since I can’t find it, you are getting a comment. Here’s hoping that you haven’t turned the comments off yet.

What? You don’t want to post mindless blathering like me? ha ha
Glad you’re back. I say post whatever you want, I enjoy reading your blog.

I was wondering where you went to. I think the exact same things, and it’s why I rarely post too. I think they call that “over achievers” or something.
Just glad you’re back!

Oh, please. You don’t have to be funny with us. We’re your pals. Who you’ve never met. I just start writing when I feel blocked, and a couple times I have thought, “That was my dullest post ever” and inevitably someone writes in that they laughed at it. One man’s junk…

Wait! Stop! Don’t do anything drastic. Just slowly back away from the ledge. I just found you! You have a great template, great theme, clever ideas and a gorgeous family. Please write more posts. I’ll come back.

Missed you. I check in on you all the time. Write…Witty or not–even though I cannot imagine you not being witty.
