Fade out

Do you know what today is? Today is the one year anniversary of Say Yes to Polka Dots dot blogspot dot com. I'm sure you had it on your calendars as well.

Some of you may be wondering how this all come about. Why did it start? Well I'll tell you, it started as a way for me to stay connected with long distance friends. It started because I burst at the seams with thoughts and opinions (is that what causes pimples?). And okay, to be completely honest, there was an ulterior motive to torture my manfriend with my amazingness in case he dumped me (let's face it - what ex could resist stalking their ex's blog?). Luckily he hasn't dumped me yet and luckily this blog provides an extra (less crazy) reason to continue, and that is the honing of my writing skills.

I scanned my inventory of 129 posts!! and have selected for you some to surf back to, in case you missed them.

And now it's time for me to announce I'm taking a break from this hobby. I'll be back, but first I need to take stock in what I've done. Some of it is shit and some of it is pretty good. What do you think? What do you like? Please tell me! Either comment on this post or email that address on the right there. What are your favorite posts? I'd LOVE to know.

Expect me back in about a month. Until then, squats and abs, baby. It's go time!
