i've lost that lovin' feelin'...

i have been super busy lately and for those that have been following my tweets, you may have seen my tweet about how I have been blogging out of obligation lately.
there is nothing i hate more than blogging out of obligation. it takes something i love, and makes it into a chore. ugh. lamespice!





yes my friends...i have lost that lovin' feelin' towards blogging.
i need to take a little bit of time to work on some stuff (hello! we are moving...you will die when you see the before and afters). and i need to take some time to miss posting.
so if i don't answer your email, or if i don't comment on your blog, please don't accuse me of not liking you...or i may have to throw a twinkie at your face. (i wish someone would throw a twinkie at my face. that would be.the.best.ever).


anyway, peace out for a few.



please enjoy this amazing picture of ted flying on a broom.
tedward is a rockstar.


xo, love you all!

Good for you! Take some time to miss what you love! Absence does make the heart grow fonder!

Allison said...

So sorry you're not feeling it right now, but I'm really happy that you're getting the time you need to get back into it! Take as long as you want! (I might regret that someday.. :D) Thanks for being such an inspiration.

Love ya! :D

Cajsa said...

I remember watching top gun as a little girl with my older brothers and my two of my most favorite parts were when they sing "Lovin' Feeling" And "Great balls of faaaare" No one can blame you for taking a blog break! Cant wait to see the pictures though!

Ayden Kaial said...

Happy break! We will miss your face!

Nancy Face said...

Excellent.

Sue said...

Ok, take your time, relax and enjoy the moving process. Wait, what the crap am I saying, no one in their sane mind enjoys moving. But come back to us ... you're a BLAST!

PS~ I saw someone on a broom and thought "how did Lauren get a picture of my mom?" then I saw that it was your sweet Tedward and felt badly immediately.

Connie said...

totally understandable! If you need any help moving let me know! ps you are adorable! and Ted cracked me up. Thankyouverymuchandgoodnight.

Marci Darling said...

Natalie said...

uhhhm..

Sweet Disorder Photography and Design said...

Good for you! I bet you will be amazed at the lightweight, free-time feeling you'll have! That's how I felt, anyway. Have fun!
*note to self: if ever in AZ bring a Twinkie around in purse just in case...

mjMuffin said...

Aww we'll miss you! Good luck with the transition! I think Tedward is deserving a twinkie right now! <3

Good Luck with your move!

Lauren said...

We will miss you!! I absolutely hate moving, it stresses me out to the max! You will have all of us anxiously waiting for the awesomeness to come!

Lauren said...

Will you throw a twinkie at my face? Please?
Ok. Have fun moving!! See you back soon :)

Marianne said...

I'll miss your happy outlook! But bonus...! When you come back it will be even brighter!

I have felt the same way lately. Not much going on, not much to say, It is work to try to make something out of nothing!

I am anxious to see your new place! I know it will be gorgeous because you are in charge!

~kiMbeRLy~ said...

Everyone needs a break. Its why we have vaca/sick/personal days @ our jobs...Go on Lauren! Take some personal days! Absence will make us miss you and appreciate you more too!! Have fun getting stuff done.

I heart top gun!

I'll be looking forward to your return!!:)

SJ said...

Something fun should never feel like an obligation. Take some time off, we'll miss you!

Karm said...

I don't like the process of moving... the awful feeling of leaving good memories behind... I hope you feel better... btw.. haha to help you feel better you could tell me what you are thankful for over at

http://hermommyfiles.blogspot.com

I am sponsoring a "What are you Thankful for" give away.

Annie said...

I'm with Ann and you, Lauren. We all need bloggy vacations every now and then! Nothing wrong with that.

The Wade Family said...

Cool. Moving is crappy but it's so awesome when all the work is done. I will miss you but I'll wait patiently. Enjoy your break and some time with that hot husband. His Harry Potter pics are hilarious. I love it!

Annie said...

can't wait to see pisc from the move!!
following you on twitter, of course ;) so i'll keep up with you that way my dear friend!
XOXO

Living In Your Letters said...

Wow. That photo is incredible. Reminds me of those MTC Matrix pictures...except way cooler because it involves Harry Potter?

PS, That scene you posted from Top Gun is about the only redeeming part of that movie...otherwise, it's on my list of Lamest-Movies-Of-All-Time. No joke...

Good luck with the move and all!

MoreThanMyOwnLife said...

Good luck on moving! I can't wait to see the pics!

Oh Top Gun, one of my all time fav movies, way back when Tom was a hottie.

Enjoy your time off! You will be missed!! 8)

Mari said...

that Harry Potter costume is insane! I just made a HP gryffendor scarf and I'm working on a slytherin one too...this is totally my costume for next year!

TeresaD said...

You deserve a break :-) Come back when you're ready. In the meantime, I will ponder how on eart the Tedward is staying up in the air...

P.S. I'm dying to see the before/after pictures.

Tina said...

i literally died laughing at that pic of the tedward flying! hahaha almost as good as that fish in seattle

Angie said...

You will definitely be missed. But I look forward to your fresh outlook when you get back! Moving sucks, but I so can't wait for pictures. Take care! EVERYONE needs a break now and then.

Natalie said...

I don't recall ever looking that cute when I moved. I actually don't look that cute now, and I've lived in my house for five years. So, you're totally excused.

Go be happy and make your house cute!

Kaitlin said...

Best.Picture.Ever.
You will be missed and come back soon :)

Mara said...

you look beautiful in that picture lauren! good luck with moving! xox

amanda leeann said...

doll, you are stunning =]

and tedward wins at life for flying that broom!

Jadyn said...

We'll miss you, but have a super fun time moving! Even though moving pretty much sucks. Either way, it'll be worth it in the end, and you won't have to worry about that crazy loud burping teenager anymore!

Good luck,
~Jadyn Maree

Jadyn said...

We'll sure miss you, but have fun moving and all anyway... butin reality, moving pretty much sucks. But either way, it's unavoidable, so you might as well make the best of it, right? Anyhow, good luck with the move, and good luck with your new home. Also, you are so lovely, and Ted is so Jedi Master (yeah I just quoted Star Wars, don't judge) for flying that broomstick. Good luck,
~Jadyn Maree

P.S. At least now oyu wonn't have to worry about that loud teenage burper anymore, right? :)

Lauren Elizabeth said...

have fun moving and decorating!

can't wait to see what you do! :)

Rachel said...

Take some time girly! You'll know when it's time to come back :)

Fran said...

I think it's ok for you to take a time off from blogging,then you can recuperate that lovin' feelin'

Meanwhile, can't wait for the before and after photos!
Take care and have fun while doin' it!!

Have a happy blog break and a good move (though moving is the most stressful thing ever in my opinion - plus you have to deal with movers, who are usually the worst people ever - I've never had a good experience moving or with movers in case you couldn't tell LOL). BUT if you do not do a Vamp Diaries recap this week I will 1) Go into withdrawal and 2) Throw a Twinkie in your face...jk...sort of :)

Courtney said...

Lauren! I've been away from Blogger for so long, and when I come back, you're on hiatus! I wish you well with the move and can't wait for you to return from your bloggy-break! :)

wende said...

sometimes you just have to take a step back so you can "miss it" for a while. it's all good. it will come back. we'll miss you until then though.

and p.s. your last post really DID inspire me to buy new moon tickets. and i found out they added a few showings and got SIX tix for some girlfriends to come along and swoon with me. yay!

Brian and Brianna said...

You will be missed of course! But good luck with all your craziness of life! :)

erin said...

even the busy bee needs a break once in a while.

Steph said...

Good for you. You have your priorities in check! You WILL be missed!

Jennifer said...

enjoy the break lauren, you deserve it!

Stacy Dean said...

awesome. I loves it all.

Molly said...

Lol, Ted is a wizard wrocker. Lol. Take your time! Love you!

Sweet Disorder Photography and Design said...

Uh-oh.... I am missing your posts already.

Heather said...

I totally get you! It took me a month to start blogging when we moved. It is a lot of work. Good luck.

Can't wait for the before and after pictures.

I love the picture of Ted flying. Hilarious!

GardenofEdee said...

Good luck with moving! I can't wait to see the before/after pictures!

I saw on Twitter you just finished City of Bones and didn't really like the ending... all I can say is KEEP READING. It's one of my favorite series, I hope you enjoy it!

Chelsea Talks Smack said...

we'll miss you!

B*Marie said...

Tanya said...

can't wait till you get that lovin' feelin' back!

Suzanne said...

Sometimes I feel like I'm blogging out of obligation too, and you're right, it takes all the fun out of it! Hopefully you'll feel like it again soon because I <3 your posts! :)

Good luck with your move!

Tay said...

Blogging should only be fun. :) Have fun moving! Maybe I'll do a drive-by twinkie at you when I'm down for Christmas.

Jennifer said...

I wish that I had thought of this!

Jill said...

Just curious if Lauren's Bite is going by the wayside, I noticed it went private and I can't view it.

I hope you enjoy your blogging hiatus while you move, and good luck with the new place! I look forward to seeing your creativity and bargain shopping turn into something fabulous that could be in a magazine :)
