This Rock Is Gonna Roll On Outta Here
This post has been a long time in coming.....it also sets heavy on my heart. Today is the first day of the rest of my life.....and the last day of my life in Blogdom. I've posted well over 1213 posts to date. The 'well over' are those posts that I have since looked back on and have found to have been totally ridiculous, or a bit of a reminder of days I'd like to soon forget about.....so I've deleted a few of them from time to time. I've been 110% into blogging for over 3 years now.....but I'm dry.....my heart is no longer into Calamity Anne's Adventures. This is something that breaks my heart.....because this blog has been a viable part of me for so long. I've reached a point in my life, where I know that I have to move on. The Big Boober (aka Dan.....my forever love) and I have reached a point in our lives where we both need to focus on our future, and how to survive what this friggin' economy has dealt us. To say I'm in full-blown panic mode would be a serious understatement. This is something that I/we need to change.
As a result of this humble little blog.....I've met many wonderful gals who I consider friends.....whom I hope to meet in the flesh one day.....and who I will forever keep in contact with.....you all know who you are! I've shared many 'comfort food' recipes with you.....which has resulted in Dan and I becoming a bit too fat and fluffy for our own good.....and something we are in the process of turning around. We can thank the Carb Lovers Diet for our up and coming hot and sexy figures.....cough.....cough. I've enjoyed sharing all the anal retentive tutorials that are chock-a-block full of blow-by-blow photos with you.....sorry folks, but they're a thing of the past.....as my current focus is on making The Chunky Mermaid a success.....and those fun crafts/tutorials/recipes are sitting solid on the bottom of my current to-do list.
One thing will never change.....I will continue to follow all those wonderful blogs written by strong and interesting women, and a couple of men, as time allows. Yes, as time allows.....once again, The Chunky Mermaid is taking precedence these days. There is only one of me.....and I find there are not enough hours in each day for me to do all that my heart desires. So bear with me if my comments to your blogs are sporadic.....but when I do find the time.....I will shoot from the hip.....something that I've found is truly expected of me.
As I said in my title.....this rock is gonna roll on outta here.....and with that said......
PEACE OUT!!!

The world of Blogdom just got a little darker today.
ReplyDeleteAnne! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE US?????????!!!!!!!!!!! But, I DO understand if you need to focus on "THE CHUNKY MERMAID" because you do beautiful signs and I understand that you need to focus on your online shop. Blogging takes A LOT of time... I, myself, will also have to scale down with blogging (not from my own posts because I'm lucky if I do one a week!) but from visits to others' blogs, when I am lucky enough to find my next job (hopefully soon!). It's tough when there are SO MANY great blogging friends out there who do wonderful posts -- it is not easy to want to visit our online blogging friends when there are other things that we know we should concentrate on. Well, this has "thrown me for a loop" as my mother would have said. I am, of course, going to stay in touch with you via email, whether you like it or not. If not, I will just have to email the BIG BOOBER to keep current on what you are doing! But I will also be your best visitor to 'THE CHUNKY MERMAID' because I love my two signs that you made and I will be your #1 fan, now and forever. I wish you and Dan much happiness in the future and I wish you much prosperity in your shop. You deserve it, as you are a great person, a great blogger, and a great sign-maker! Love you, our great Calamity Anne!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBest, and with Love,

Oh my gosh, no!!! Not you. Why can't you leave it open to returning in the future??!!! You WILL miss it...eventually. We will miss you NOW! All the best, Anne!!!!! Email me if you have a must try recipe and let me know when you publish your cookbook. For real.
ReplyDeleteTo All,
ReplyDeleteI've opted not to delete this blog, but leave it up if anyone wants to refer back to a recipe, craft, or whatever. For right now...the time has come to end this blog. Down the road I may change my mind and start a new blog...but, that's down the road. My emotions when I clicked on 'publish'...relief. This chapter of my life is over, and the next chapter begins!
P.S. I made a note in my 'reminder app' to make a cookbook of all the recipes I blogged about. So yes, that WILL happen...but only when our finances turn around, and I figure out the best program to use to make "Calamity Anne's Adventures in the Kitchen."
Thanks and love!!!
I'm glad your keeping the blog up, but it's kind of bittersweet. I wish you all the best with "The Chunky Mermaid". You will be missed. A lot!
ReplyDeleteI understand sweetie , I really do..and I hope that you don't mind if I still send you the occasional hilarious e mail from the office.
ReplyDeleteBlessed Be.

Wishing you the best of luck with The Chunky Mermaid. I will miss your posts yet I understand being dry. Will this blog page stay up so we can come back and view older posts or are you deleting it completely? You will be missed. Best of luck to you and the big boober. May your light continue to shine through your new endevors.
ReplyDeleteI am really going to miss your posts!!! I'm glad that you are keeping it open, because soon I am going to be trying your glitter houses!! I know what you mean about this economy and stressing!! Something good has to come my way this year or it will be terrible for us! I wish you great luck and hope that we'll be hearing from you in one way or another soon.
