A Little Break

by MissAmber on July 14, 2010 · 21 comments

in stress

I’ve been feeling really stressed and frustrated and sad and out-of-sorts lately.

Instead of letting all that negativity pour into my blog posts – which I absolutely don’t want because I’m overall not a negative person – I’m going to take a little blogging break.

Not a big one, just for the rest of this week. I will be back in full-swing blogging next Monday!

Speaking of next Monday, I really need some lovely ladies to send me photos of them in their favourite work dress for the next Monday Meeting Workplace Fashion post.

If you could send submissions to amber@girlwiththeredhair.com with the following information I’ll love you forever.

  1. Name and link you want associated with your picture
  2. Where you got the outfit
  3. The industry you work in
  4. Your thoughts on workplace fashion

Thanks in advance, ladies!

And to all my other wonderful readers, thanks for understanding that I need a little break! I just don’t have the energy for quality blog posts this week. I’m hoping that energy, and my regular personality, will be back by next week!

XO

Aww. Take some time out and I look forward to reading when you’re refreshed and ready to go. And thanks for your email today – that was much appreciated! Also, seeing as I now have a camera I promise to contribute to an upcoming Monday Meeting post. It’s the depths of winterhere though so probably won’t be very exciting at all…I’ll try my best!

I totally understand the need to take a bit of a break from blogging. Especially if you fee like you will spew negativity! But just know – you can always vent to me! Hope this little rainy spell of your life is short!

I hope you have a great rest of the week! I haven’t really blogged in ages ~ this being a mom thing is harder than I thought and I don’t really want to blog about how much I’m not loving it. It makes me feel like a bad person, ya know?

Enjoy the break! When blogging becomes a “chore” more than a hobby, it’s definitely time to step back and relax. :) We’ll still be here when you get back!

Don’t mind the blog break (though what am I supposed to read when I wake up at random hours of the night in Hawaii? haha) but I’m sorry you are feeling negative. We all have those times. Just think, soon Eric will be back! And it’s going to work out 100 percent better this time, so don’t let that be something that makes you feel negative. Being less picky about the actual job is going to make a huge difference in how fast he finds a job, and you will both know that next Sept will bring what he really wants to be doing. Anyway, expectations will be different this time too- so it won’t be the same mistake twice. So there. haha.

Take care of yourself and have a great break- sometimes it’s exactly what you need… but know that if you need to vent, I’m right here :)

I’ll try to take a picture for you! :)

you deserve a break! no worries. I felt the very same way as you just a few weeks back. it can be hard to do anything, let alone blogging, when you feel that way. so put your feet up, grab a glass of wine and don’t do anything :) just relax.

oh, and I’d totally send you a photo of my favorite work dress BUT it would really just be a lie since I am 90 percent of the time in my pajamas! haha. or jeans. the work dress really only comes out if I have an event to go to!

enjoy the rest of your week and weekend lady!

I totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve been feeling sort of similar lately as well. I totally blame it on the summer heat!

I will send you the picture of my favourite work dress now!
