There appears to be somewhat of a writing epidemic sweeping the blogging nation.
I know many of you have been experiencing some serious blogging apathy lately, and I am not immune.
I can blame so many things if I'm feeling defiant. For example, my blogging disinterest could be due to...
...all the time I'm putting in at my internship site.
...the stress I'm experiencing due to general lack of finances.
...a low-fiber diet.
...not tonight, I have a headache.
Any and all of the previously mentioned excuses could be contributing factors.
However, as SurferWife was serenading my heart this evening, I realized that I'm coming up on my 2-year blogging anniversary.
That's it!
My blog is bored with me.
So, I've decided that my blog and I need to spice things up. We've become comfortable and complacent with each other and that's not good enough if we want to keep the magic alive.
I mean, we still love each other, but it's not exciting like it used to be. Blogging is no longer new and exciting. Mind you, it's still fun, but it's a very polite kind of fun. Now, it's never going to be like it was in the beginning, but that doesn't mean we just give up, damn it!
So, I'm putting in the effort, kids.
Tonight, my blog and I left Twitter and Facebook with a sitter, we put our phones on vibrate (We didn't turn them off, okay? That's just stupid.) and we got to know each other again.
Naturally, this included taking the blog out for a seafood dinner, getting it drunk, feeling it up in the Red Lobster parking lot for an hour and then letting it pass out in front of the TV to an Anne Murray special on the Hallmark Channel.
Now, I'm writing.
And you know what? It feels like the first time.
It feels like the very first time!

I'm pretty sure I just wet myself.
I'm also pretty sure this is your way of letting me know you're leaving me and Elephantia to run amok (sp?)with your blog in the South Pacific.
I'm sorry. Not about your blog. That you have a Twitter account.
wait, wait. Rewind a little. You have a twitter??
PS. Happy Two-Year! Glad to see you still find each other fun.
i'm guessing your husband is totally going to love your two year anniversary.
and i'm definitely not mentioning this to my blog. i think it's safe to say that my blog would leave me for you any day so it would be nice for my blog not to know you're breaking out the thigh high boots, fur/lace/leopard print, and whip, okay?
and if my blog gives you "tramp" for word verification again i'm going to spank its bottom and accuse you two of having an affair.
I'm still in the "honeymoon" stage with my blog since it's less than a month old. I'll have to remember how you spiced up the... um... romance with it down the road when/if blog apathy sets in. ;)
red lobster rocks...i hope you got your blog the cheesy biscuits. otherwise it's just a wasted trip. (really, i worked at a red lobster in college and it totally blows. but the cheesy biscuits made everything all better again).
you are hilarious and i hope your blog realizes how lucky it is ;)
I'm so glad you and your blog are better acquainted now. Sounds like you gave your blog the royal treatment. Happy 2 years! I'm happy your back to writing. :]
I hope you're on the pill.
PS Happy Blogoversary!
Bwahahaha! Things can get complacent after 2 years. I'm glad you took some time out to find the magic again.
Happy Blogoversary.
You blog sounds a little cheap, I guess that is how they get when they feel old and frumpy, maybe a face lift will bring back some self respect.
It is an epidemic. Most bloggers I know are experiencing it, including me. I get my blog drunk all the time though, and it just stays mad at me. I might have to add in the seafood dinner and whisper sweet nothings in it's ear.
Blog love is a delicate fire that needs to be fueled and fanned.
The description of the end of your date seriously made me laugh.
It's so wonderful to see that the two of you — we always knew you crazy kids were meant to be together forever — have rekindled the spark. I think I need to be making that kind of effort too. Headaches be damned, it's time to put out! What kind of lingerie do you think blogs like?
Dude. When you start blogging you make a covenant. You can't break it. Even if it cheats on you. It hasn't , has it??
"....taking the blog out for a seafood dinner, getting it drunk, feeling it up in the Red Lobster parking lot..."
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh, Sara, you slay me!
I love that you made it second base in the Red Lobster parking lot. Nothing like shrimp and, well, you know...
Seriously you're hahlarious! Oh, if only it were the 80's and I were a grandmother, that would be funny.
Good to know I'm not the only one having trouble writing. I feel a little guilty about my latest completely indulgent, surely boring if not horrifying posts. I find comfort in the fact that hardly anybody reads my blog.
And that's just effed up!
you and surferwife are good for one another. she really does know what's best for you.
I've loved the out-of-bloggy-love sara, so i better put my big girl panties on to deal with the new and improves sara.
Happy Two Years! May you have two years (or more) of happiness and drunken groping.
If you end up with a little blog-ette in nine months I'll know that you didn't tell us the whole story of you and the blogs romance rekindling.
And now that I'm finally getting caught up on reading all of them...it feels like the first time for me, too. I think I may be bleeding a little bit.
