Whoever thinks blogging isn’t time consuming and work, though oh so rewarding, doesn’t have one, or doesn’t update frequently, or comment on other people’s blogs. That’s part of the wonder of blogging.
But most people get a paid vacation for at least one week a year from paid work. And this doesn’t pay in the money sense at all; but it’s usually much fun.
If I have been negligent in answering your comments please forgive me, please.
If I haven’t been to your blog lately, my life’s been one giant version of “As Pia turns and tries to live she falls on her tush though very elegantly and with no side affects though possible brain damage but nobody knows when that happened.”
I will take Courting with me on vacation and Savannah Fall Two, the laptop, and will try to post. One year the car service driver ran away while I was trying to take my back pack out. Fortunately after an hour of phone calls, and some calls from JFK Security who had witnessed this, the driver came back. The next time I forgot my extension cord.
My life is filled with endless drama all made by me, to put me into panic attack mode. Ain’t going to happen anymore. Am going to let myself chill, chill and chill some more.
Have a great blogroll; please read some of the people. Totally believe in the power of linkage; it exposed me to so many wonderful people.
Used to be a New Yorker who would forget which “I” state was what. Actually used to drive my friend, the late Phil crazy because I could remember every detail of his life story but one. Could never remember whether he came from Idaho or Iowa. Iowa, i know now. Memorized it after he died. A dollar short and a day late, but still…
This is a wonderful country and I never knew how great the people were before. Have always loved England and Europe. Really was a total East Coast/So Cal snob. Truly stupid thinking
The only way America will regain its greatness is if we all start talking to each other as people not oddities. It’s more important than ever
Blogging allows us to do that and to impact on one another. So talk to somebody you never thought you would talk to before. It’s fun and more than that so worthy because it helps us learn that we all do bleed red, unless you’re a true alien, I guess.
We all have the same fears, hopes, dreams, and in my case many phobias. Blogging has allowed me to express them and see that other people have the same fears, hopes, dreams and in some cases phobias, though I think I might be in the minority on doorman phobias. But hey, you never know!
Love you pia… Love “As Pia turns and tries to live she falls on her tush though very elegantly and with no side affects though possible brain damage but nobody knows when that happened.†had me cracking up and I’m at work… Stop that!
VACATION? What’s That?
Take me with you…
First of all, I think you are allowed to take a vacation from your blog. Unless you don’t want to, lol.
I agree with you 100% – “The only way America will regain its greatness is if we all start talking to each other as people not oddities. It’s more important than ever.” I say this a lot (well, I know you knew that, because you read my blog, lol). Anyway, have a fun vacation.
P.S. I have been getting really weird about my computer screen…smudges drive me nuts!
Pia, have a wonderful and relaxing vacation. Feel free to check in if you like, but even if you don’t, we’ll be here to welcome you back when you return. Remember, relax, relax, relax. 🙂
Safe travels.
Have a wonderfully realxing and chilling(and I mean that in a fuzzy way) holiday.
I agree with you. Before I met you guys all over the blogsphere, I had a very European outlook on Americans and America-inflicted due to your un-convincing government.
Then I met all of you and talked to you and it only re-affirmed:
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!
There is no generalization, we all are unique human beings with similar dreams, hopes and fears!
There is just one world and we better figure a way of co-existing much in the way nature teaches us every day!
Just passing through Ms. Pia…but must stop to tell you…You have a fantabulous blog!!Thank you for putting so much effort and time into it. Except this compliment as payment in kind ;)Have a lovely vacation.
* I meant accept this compliment….I have a phobia about mis-spelled words…;)
If you’re a true blogger, you’re never on vacation. I feel your pain. Have a pina colada on me!:)
Must agree, blogging itself could be a full-time job…too bad more employers aren’t interesting in paying folks to tap-tap-tap away on the Net all day. Some days I think: “Maybe I should reassess my reading list…see if there’s anyone I can stand to ‘let go of,’ ’cause man this read/comment/write/reply business takes a lot of time!” Of course, I’m never able to drop anyone because I’ve come to love the blogs – and the people who write them – I read.
Don’t blog too hard while you’re on vacation woman! 🙂
You deserve a vacation my friend so chill away! We shall be here, waiting for you when you get back!
Love you much!
ME!!!
PS~ I have had a b***h of a time commenting for some reason! My connection has been screwy I think so I have been reading you and only now get to comment!!
Nice Site! I have a bearded dragon called Gucchi and a border terrier called Ruby.They both hate each other and run a mile when they see each other! I enjoyed your blog- Thanks. R
