This is a foreign concept to me.
Rest? What is that?
I’m tired. I started writing a blog for today and realized I didn’t have anything compelling to say. Rather than throw up something half-assed I decided to take a day off of blogging. *gasp*
Instead, I’m catching up on my “real” job and eating tasty foods. And praying the world won’t end.
And reminding you to click here to enter the giveaway for some bangin’ Bose Headphones (seriously – they rock).
Back tomorrow with some #strangebutgood cookies!!! Come by and link up your fun creations!

It turns out sanity/relaxation are not overrated.
When was the last time you took a day off?
How do you know when to cry “uncle!”?
Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli says
Good for you for taking some time off! I’m actually doing the same thing. Had to call out of work tonight because I just feel like crap…for a second I was like, “ohhh time to blog” and then I was like, “NO…time to REST!” And with that, I am going to bed…BEFORE midnight! *gasp*
Lisa says
I think that’s awesome you’re taking some time off for YOU! Enjoy it! I often feel a lot of pressure to blog everyday, when it’s just pressure I add on myself. I’m sure no one even notices when I take a day off.
Go eat some tasty food now:) And extra rest.
Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life says
I’m still in go-go-go finals mode but I know as soon as I’m done with my papers, there will be many days off. 🙂 Enjoy it!
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf says
I need a day off!! So so great that you are taking some time off. We all need that time to reset and recharge. Now if I could just take my own advice…
Hannah says
Ha! I remember freaking out about taking a day/s off back when I’d first started blogging. Breathe lady. Life is more important than blogging. No need to justify anything!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Enjoy your well deserved day off! Sometimes, I think a day off from blogging is so FREEING. 🙂
Fran@BCDC says
Enjoy your day, Laura… You deserve it!
Miz says
Im the queen of the spontaneously days OFF OFF OFF.
xo
AmyC says
Have a great day “off” 😉
Kat says
I love days off but they are the hardest for me! I can’t sit still! I’m taking one off tomorrow before a race Saturday! Enjoy your rest girlie!
Laura says
I’m the same way! I think I want to rest… but then I get antsy.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Enjoy your day my friend! I soooo need a day off! I hope you have a great one!
Lee says
I’m honestly in awe of bloggers that post every day (or multiple times a day)! I just can’t figure out what to write about that often, so I take days off here and there for sure.
Can we plan our next blogger get together? I vote Chai Pani or Panahar.
Maureen says
I love getting a day off here & there. Until I get bored and start doing “non-relaxing” things! 😉
Alex @ Brain, Body, Because says
Well deserved!! Sometimes I take entire weeks off 😉 No one minds!
Jody - Fit at 55 says
I LOVE THIS & YOU!!!!!! Thank you for doing this!!!!!
BTW, I used to blog 7 days, then 6 then 5 & now 3 & I still feel overwhelmed BUT I do follow many more people now & read tons more blogs.
I hope you had a wonderful sleep & rest!! Think about cutting back your blogging days – it will be good for you! 🙂
Can’t wait for the COOKIES!!!!
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
REST! I used to not take rest days from working out, from blogging, from anything. I have seen the light though. I look forward to rest days. Mental and physical re-sets. I also look forward to not blogging on the weekends. As much as I enjoy it, it’s really nice to disconnect and spend more time actually living.
Alayna @ Thyme Bombe says
You have certainly earned it. I am also opting to do jack-all today. Gonna visit a friend, meet her new bambino, and not worry about anything that has to get done.
Debbie says
Good for you! As much as I love you I can live a day without you 🙂
Kristina says
um, have you seen my poor blog lately? I have been taking AMPLE time off 🙁
but yeah, every now and then it is necessary – and I commend you for doing so rather than trying to force it. ENJOY
Carol @ Lucky Zucca says
Proud of you Laura! Sometimes it just has to be quality over quantity… that’s at least what I’ve been telling myself lately when I don’t most (most days)
janet @ the taste space says
Take more than just a day off, Laura. It may feel weird… but it is ok… and good for the soul. 🙂
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
I’m already planning on doing the same thing tomorrow. Ha! We must all need a collective break.
I hosted a baby shower, you did a small figure competition with months of worth of prep work leading up to it. Just some minor things. 😉
Enjoy your break. Do not do all the things; instead rest and relax.
Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut says
Enjoy your day off! 🙂
I have days like that illustration ALL. THE. TIME. Today for example when I battled with my laptop uploading pictures for 2 or 3 hours for ONE post lol. Dangit. It happens! 🙂
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
I took the day off of blogging today too, I hope you enjoy your little break!
Cait's Plate says
Good for you!! When I first started my blog I felt SO MUCH pressure to never miss a post! It got to the point where it was stressing me out which made no sense because I started it for fun!
Now that I’ve relaxed a little bit I enjoy it SO much more. Enjoy your break – we’ll all be here when you return 🙂
lawrence says
Rest is good! I do 1-2 days a week when it comes to training. Every 3 months or so I take a week just to recovery mentally and get focus back…and especially some rest for this beast 😉
Hope u r enjoying ur rest!
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
I noticed this week that I’ve gotten back to blogging almost every day – so I took yesterday off on purpose. Join the fun & plan a day off a week – I promise it’s awesome. 🙂
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Whoo hoo! I was wondering when you would FINALLY just take a day off. You are the hardest working girl I know. Seriously. I hope you enjoyed it. 🙂
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Did that second sentence sound bitchy? I didn’t intend for it to. I promise!
Laura says
LOL! You know what a biy-atch I think you are… 😉
