Party hard. I'll be back in September.

Lately I've been feeling a little crushed by life, so to help with that, I'm going to take a blogging break. I'll be back in September. In the meantime, I'll be visiting your blogs and commenting. I'm moving to another apartment this month and that is always very stressful. So barring any "out of this world" news that might crop up, my blog will be quiet.

Oh yeah...and I'm having a birthday, so party hard peeps!

    Woot! Have a great b'day party time and a great bloggy break!

    I have never taken an intentional "I'm not flying to another country but still want a blog break" break, but I'm thinking maybe next year I'll have a "creative" schedule loose enough to allow for one if I want one. :)

    Hopefully you get to enjoy your birthday. Don't let the move overwhelm you.

    Hi Michael,
    I've missed visiting your blog regularly because I've been overwhelmed as well. I understand!! Maybe I should have announced a break as well but I keep thinking I can get back on track. Enjoy your birthday and DON'T stress (says the woman trying to keep her head above water...lol).

    Moving is a lot of work, and when it comes to blogging I don't know how you have been able to do so much of it. You deserve a break, and have a great birthday! I will miss your blog while you're gone.

    Didn't know it was your birthday! You've been a super blogger all year, so a break to take care of your real life business is totally fine. See you again in September! :)

    I'm going through a move, as well (from one state to another). It is rough. I hope your time away is helpful.

    You need a break! Gosh, you do SO much. I'm in awe of all that you do. I hope you're able to get everything done relatively stress free, and that your birthday feels somewhat like a birthday! (I swear being an adult, birthdays don't really feel different from other days, LOL)

    You are awesome, Michael. Can't wait for your return!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL DARLING! And my sincere sympathies about your apartment move 'cause moves are so very stressful. But even with the move I hope you have a splendid August. Take care, and please don't get crushed.

    Happy Birthday to you, and here's to many many more. Moving sucks. Just try your best to keep your sanity. Might be a great time to purge some of the crap you don't need.

    Take care!

    Have a happy birthday and hopefully not too stressful of a move. I think I've moved about ten times, so I feel your pain. Hope you get to relax in some of that time and I'll see you when you return! :)

    Have a very happy birthday, Michael! And I hear you on the moving, I'm moving to a different state in a few weeks and I'm freaking out with everything I've got to do. I hope the move to the new apartment goes well for you and isn't too stressful.

    Came by looking for your IWSG post and found you 'not home'. I hope the mov goes well - trust me when I say I know how stressful it can be and have a very Happy Birthday. Might I suggest being 25 again - sometimes that helps.

    AACK! I hope you get this. I've missed you! I had a problem with my email provider. Emails were disappearing. (Can people recall emails?) Anyway, I had one from you I was answering so I'm gonna do that today, but I'll have to wing it!

    Hey. Do NOT let the move wear you down, pal. I mean that! Did you have your birthday yet? HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE COOL PAL OF MINE!

    Things with Christopher are not better. :(

    And I did coin the word tween! Geez I'm smart! *wink* *wink*

    Miss you pal. *waves peace sign*
