This last week or so has been hard for me because I got some bad news. But then yesterday I found out there was a mistake and there is no bad news. Yay! So because it's all good and forgotten now I won't write about that.
Good news come in twos (what, you didn't know that?) and I received a job offer. And it's a big one.
Too big to blog about.
Ever.
What I'm trying to say is I have decided to shut down this blog. This job and blogging don't go together and even if the bargaining part falls through and I don't take the job, I have decided that I'll pursue that type of work no matter what.
I feel terrible saying goodbye. Three months ago, when I started blogging, I never imagined I would end up so invested in it.
I have had as much fun reading your comments as I had writing the posts. Thank you for reading my mental upchuck!
And your posts! I will miss reading them daily. Sad though it may sound you and your lives have become a part of my daily routine. Well, not all of you.
Some of you I'm keeping in my reader. So whenever you get an anonymous comment cussing you out or making fun of your new haircut, you can bet your sweet ass it's me.
You were all spectacular! Give yourselves a nice big round of applause!
So long and thanks for all the comments ...

Well first congrats on the job offer, I hope the bargaining goes well. I know what it's like to find the job of your dreams, so I hope this is it for you!
And no freakin way about shutting the blog down!! I just started reading a few weeks back & I'm so hooked! *Sniff sniff*
I guess a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do right?! If this is the best decision for you, then I support you no matter what & I'm sure others feel the same!
Again good luck & don't forget about us! :)
what? WHAT????????
dammit. Well, congrats to you! May your future be bright, and your life be long.......
Well, I can't say I'm not sad becasue I frikken am but I'm happy for you - that sounds great! I wish you all the best and thanks for being such a cool blog friend, good luck!
:(
that is all.
oh.my.god.
I will miss you, and so will all your other followers!
Well, good luck with the job. Hope it all goes well.
:(
Well.......I'm happy that you got a new job. That's fantastic. But....I'm with Vokda Mom on shutting down the blog - ummmm WHAT??
Bella - who will I wear chiffon with and flip off the absurditie's of the world with? I'm a little devastated and damn girl.....I mean that. You brighten my daze.
You know what though.....Godspeed Bella and I'm a better person for having known you.
Vodka Mom........you got any chiffon dearie. Looks like we shall have to carry the torch alone now. Sigh. Thanks Bella for the extra work and burden :)
Your bloggy pal,
Steady On
Reggie Girl
Liar! *Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
Goodluck and godspeed!
I'm glad your bad news wasn't really bad news...but THIS is bad news!!
I'm gonna miss you and your crazy blog! Your posts brightened up my days. You had better be leaving me anonymous abusive comments!!
Good luck with the job and life and everything. Send Del my love, haha.
I'm not sure what else to write. I hate awkward goodbyes! Maybe I'll email you 15 times a day begging you to come back.
I won't really do that. But if you ever do decide to return to blogging, I'll be here...waiting...
I realise I'm starting to sound like a desperate ex here. Haha. Maybe I should just stop talking.
Ciao, Bella :(
Best of luck and congrats on your exciting news!
You, your amazing wit, and lovely writing, will be missed terribly, but I am happy to hear your positive attitude toward your new job/ possible career choice. Best of luck and congrats! (and if you start blogging again - shout out so we can find you again somehow :-) !)
I think you should do a blog open to invites only so it isn't public, huh? huh? what do you think?
(throwing myself on the floor and kicking)
YOU CAN'T GO AWAY!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Congrats on the job offer! Too often lately I've been saying "sorry you lost your job" so it's so nice to be able to congratulate someone instead!
Bye Bella!
Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha
Congratulations on the new job!
I'm sorry you're leaving here. I've enjoyed reading your blog, I like your wit! You will be missed by many good folks here (including me!)
Good luck!
Good luck to you! It's been fun to read your blog.
Good Luck! Although we only just met, I will miss you!
Bella! Noooooooooooooo.
I will miss you so much! Your blog is one of the best.
By which I mean, uh, how fantastic that your bad news turned out to be nothing and your job offer sounds awesome. Congratulations!
*resumes sobbing*
You are so like me; no long drippy goodbyes.
You KNOW I'm gonna miss your smiling face on my blog at 2AM every morning, being the first to comment, usually something snarky :) :)
I am soooo glad the bad news turned out okay, and it's FABULOUS that you have a new position to look forward to (or at the very least a new career path).
You are welcome any time at my place (in all its forms), in any way you choose to show up.
Give Del my love, kick Magda's ass, and continue flipping life the bird in the way only you can!
Best of luck! :)
"You can't go! All the plants are gonnna die!"
Not sure I understand your reasoning, but best of luck where ever life takes you.
I'll miss your posts. I just recently started following you and have enjoyed every thing you posted.
Congratulations and I hope you will come back to blogging one day.
Angel
Nooo! I just found your blog :(
Congratulations on the job offer... I hope it works out for you! and I'm glad the bad news turned out to be good news.
Good luck to you!
I'm sad to see you go, as I just found you here, but thank goodness there is no bad news for you. Congratulations on your new career and good luck!
P.S. You are fabulous and funny - whoever has you next will be lucky!
Take care, Bella! Good luck to you, and I hope to see an anonymous comment with some ass-kicking sarcasm from time to time.
Nooooooooo! I started reading your blog a few weeks ago, and I am already hooked! Every day I go to my computer and hope that you have posted some witty anecdote--the ones about Del and scorpions and potatoes in the recorder were my favorites. (Live on Gilmore Girls!)
Congratulations on your new job! You will be greatly missed in the blogging world.

this is really bad news. for us. but I'm happy for your good news. trying to anyway...
what a shame, you'll be missed, I'm sorry I've discovered your blog so late. good luck!
Nooooo!!! That sucks!
Well, congrads on the new job. That's always good. I will miss your funny stories!!!
Keep in touch!
Ah, no! Say it ain't so!
Good luck with the job, and don't be a stranger, Miss.
*SNIFF!* Good luck with everything - you'll be missed!
Congrats on the new job!
And thanks for the entertainment. It's been fun, while it lasted.
We will miss you. Well, okay, I will miss you. And so will the other commenters. Why did I say it that way? I do not know, I am awkward with goodbyes, I suppose.
Uhm... look at that wall...time to go.
Best of luck to you in whatever you choose to do! You will be missed!
No!
I heard firm denials can impact unpleasant realities.
Congratulations, and good luck.
I am sad to see you go, Bella.
I'll miss your stories.
Damnit, woman! I just found you and now you're leaving me! How rude! Oh well, I'll get over it. I hope everything goes well with the offer. We'll miss you!
Oh Bella, it would be sad not to see you around. I wish you the best in your new endeavor!
PS
do you really need to close this down? you can still update when you have time.
I cannot believe you are leaving!? i am very happy for you though about the job offer and all. I hope everything works out. i am curious to know how your life will play out after this, but I guess we will never know....
You were in my Top 5 Fave Blogs Bella!!! I wanted to scream when I read your post, I will miss your sarcasm and funny posts.
Don't forget about us!
I think you will come back eventually :) I hope so
Well, I'll be damned - I just got to "know" you -- ah well, I sure would pick job or career over my blog if I had to -- for me, the blog is part of my career! wheeee!
I sure do wish you all best and luck and all that jazz...I hope you'll stop by my "place" sometime, Bella....
You don't really wanna do that....
I am incredibly sad. I'm happy for your job, but I will truly miss your posts and wonderful comments. I hope you continue to follow along on some of your favorite reads. Please find me if you have a change of heart! :(
What??? I'm pretty sure that leaving us is highly illegal. I don't like it one bit. Can we beg? Please?
whoooooooooooooooooooo back up .. back way up.... I refuse to let my secret love shut down!!! LOL!!!! You better stay in touch via email brat!!! Congrats!
Umm, no? How about no? What if I say no? Would that make you change your mind? (pout)
Remember when I wrote on my blog that your writing was some of the best out in blog-o-land? Remember when I said it again on my blog? I meant it!! I really did!
Awww, shucks. Ok, I'll stop being selfish. Although I am truely sad to be saying goodbye to your gorgeous writing and your wonderful nature I am happy that you are negotiating what sounds to be an awesome job. Congratulations!! I hope to still see you around in blog-o-land.
Lots of love to you Bella,
~Kavita
But . . . but . . . but . . . we just got started. *sniff*
Best wishes! Please stay in touch. (At the very least, check out my next post.)
Bella congrats on your job. You can't shut down your blog.....i just started reading your posts. What can we say to you to keep you writing. Please reconsider...if you can. You will be missed truly. I know and can tell you put alot of work into this blog and I'm sure it''s going to be hard to let it go...please don't.

Who would have thought I'd become so attached to a blog! I actually feel a lump rising in my throat! Please reconsider! I'm not like all the other nice bloggers who are going to wish you good luck, because I don't want you to leave!!!!
Good luck, Bella! I hope everything is wonderful with the new job and that someday I'll be reading some fab new book and will recognize your writing or a character and I'll jump up to say, "HEY!!!! I KNOW THIS WOMAN!!! We used to be blogging buddies!!!" And people will look at me like I'm crazy, which I will be, and then I'll sit back down to read with a big, huge smile on my face. :)
Goodbye!
Oh no!!!! (sniffle) How can you?! Please think of the children! THE CHILDREN! Okay, fine - think of ME then! (sob) We will miss you much!!!! :-(
Wow...
Congratulations to you, Bella. I'm so happy for you...
The blogging world will be losing a really great writer...
Best of luck! ;)
Oh no :( I'm sad to see you go. Good luck with whatever you do!
Some liquid droplets just emerged from my eyes to virtually fill a bucket – I believe this is what they must call tears, so you could conclude I’m amongst one of the many who is devastated to see you disappearing from blogland.
I wish you all the best in your pastures new
Take care. ;)
dang, bella... i just got here :(
Bella - congrats on the job, but the blogging part? I think we need to take a vote out here. This is a demoblogic society, and WE decide if you can go or not.
Hahaha...this is a joke right?
I mean...what?
Seriously it's not even April yet.
But congrats on the job.
oh no!!! well that sorta sucks.... i was just getting warmed up to this following a blog thing and yours was the only blog i truly followed
ah shucks.... well good luck with you new endeavors!
Good for you. However, your creativeness and cleverness will be missed here. Congrats and Best of luck!
*sniff* Just dropping back in to see if maybe Del or Magda got ahold of your puter and posted for you.
Bella I came by to see if you where just pulling our leg...but still no signs of you. I hope all is good with you and your happy.
Lots of Love
JB
So maybe I'm a little bit obsessive, but I've been trying to figure out what career path you're talking about. (yes, nosy would be a better word).
I've finally figure it out. You're going to be a Nanny. I'm right, aren't I?
And I couldn't even keep a straight face typing it out. Bahaha.
Just stalking you...again.
Oh tear. :( I will miss reading your blog.
Reading your blog reminds me I am not the only crazy one out there. LOL.
Good luck with your new job. Congrats.
Ta ta
Bella, I am so happy for you and for a minute I thought I was reading about me. A similiar occured. The scary though. Oh, I hope you do a drive-by anytime and leave some sass! Big CONGRATS!!!!
hugs,
kimmi
Great adventures ahead! Thanks for your kinship.
Well... shoot.
Congrabulations on your new job Bella. I looked forward to your posts and your comments on my blog as well. You're a hoot and I'm gonna miss you. For real.
J.
Hope the weekend was awesome!
:-( *Sigh* Congrats on your job offfer
I'm really happy for you but I will miss you so much! Congratulations on the potential new job. I hope it yields fantastic new things for you!
ouch, this stinks! i just discovered you recently.
And we havent even made out yet :(
Oh my!!! See I go away and everything falls to shit!
Congrats on your new venture Bella! We will miss you. I'm sad.
au revoir Bella!
so sad to see you go but congrats on the offer and stop by and make fun of my haircut anytime!
You can stop posting new entries but leave this as it is. Also can you enable the auto index so we can navigate to the old entries? thank you
^^ i think its called 'Blog Archive' in the settings 'auto index so we can navigate to the old entries'
Good luck with your new path. I'll definately miss reading your blog- you are a wonderful writer!!!
My first impulse is to be angry at you for deserting us just so you can do splendidly well in real life!
But since everyone else is congratulating you and being happy for you and stuff, I guess I'll just hide my real feelings and wish you well.
Damn it!
WTH! I feel like I'm getting dumped. You may only say goodbye with words but you're leaving means so much more.
ok... on a less creepy note I really did enjoy reading you and I really do feel like I just got to know you..err also what kinda work are you doing that allows you to never blog?
Barack is that you?
Tell me this is a cruel hoax. . .
Awwwwwwww! I'm sorry to hear this and I hope you will visit my blog just so I can hear your comments...
Pearl
Hell, Bella! Dammit, I'm gonna miss you! Good luck with the job.
You're going to work for the CIA, aren't you? Or some other top secret government agency? That's why you're not blogging any more. Special clearance and all the gov't red tape.
Sigh.
Bond. Bella Bond.
I can't believe this. I just got into you. I wondered why I hadn't seen you all week. Best of luck to you and in all of your future endeavors.
Oh Bella I am going to miss you!!! Hope you come by for a visit. Good luck on the job...I hope to get one soon
Hey, Merde Tete (or would that be Tete Merde?)! Just checkin' in to see if there's been an update. *hint hint* :)
Expat, I have been wayyyy out of the loop, as you ended the blog on the busiest week I've had in years, and I'm just getting my head above water.
I suppose I should be gracious and congratulate you on your new job, but the selfish bitch in me will resent that job as I really enjoyed your blog posts.
Best of luck to you, your career, your marriage, and, really, all you do. You have brought joy to our days.
And tiramisu to my life.
-Jules
See ya! thanks for the laughs!
best wishes Ribbon :-)
aha-too busy to blog huh? perhaps someday you will find the times..you will..mark my word ;p
Just letting you know we're still missing the heck out of you...
Hope all's well and wonderful with you/yours!
Hi Bella, that was me deleting my comment. My mistake, Wrong blog.
Best regards, Lee.
Hello, you have the most beautiful blog here, I'm loving reading it and your pictures are just stunning... thank you so much !!!!
I'm happy that you got a new job. That's fantastic. But....I'm with Vokda Mom on shutting down the blog - ummmm WHAT??
Bella - who will I wear chiffon with and flip off the absurditie's of the world with? I'm a little devastated and damn girl...

Bella don't know if you still stop in here but I miss you and your stories just wanted to say hello.
I hope your new job is treating you good love.
