Just on hiatus.
I was going to take a vacation from my internets all May, but I couldn't shut up long enough to do it.
I want to rename the blog because I need constant change in my life, but I can't think of anything good so I might just leave it that way for awhile. I'm thinking of dropping the Jake and leaving the Zilla. Or maybe -zilla. Or 'zilla. I like Z words. I find myself approaching most things in life monstrously and manically so I feel it fits better. Would it mess with your mind if I changed it? I'll leave the url the same.
My favorite color is orange (&green&brown) but I find myself surrounding myself with things that are pinkish orange lately. I'm afraid that I'm turning into my mother, who I find surrounding herself with things that are coral. There's a really big difference between pinkish orange and coral, right? Right? Is this thing on? Why are you looking at me like that? How do you do that with your eyebrow?
I'm wearing a fuschia sweater, a sunset pinkish tank top, a hot pink bra, orange underpants, roseish pinkybeige lipgloss, pink toenails, ballet shoe colored sandals, and khaki pants. I wish I could take my boring pants off because I look like a variegated azalea bush without them and I think that is slightly more than absolutely fabulous. I wonder if the rest of the world sees me as the delicate flower that I am. I wonder if the rest of the world pictures me pantsless.
I'm going to my hometown this weekend and I'm hoping the weather is nice so I can take the boy to the beach and to Waldameer so I can kick summer oh-nine off rightly. If you live there, let me know. Maybe we can do it up big timing on State Street afterdark since I can dump the kid on my mom.
That is all. I'll be back either later today or later this month or sometime somewhere else. I'm not sure yet. Please don't drop my feed. I'm so damned wishy washy and chatty that I'd be surprised if I can stay quit (I hate that phrase. They use it for non-smokers. Quit and stay quit. Puke.) for more than a few hours. Please add yourself to the followers list over there to the left because if I'm not writing anything I'll need something to do to avoid working at work and I want to read your blog and that's an excellent way for me to find you and you to raise my self image by about ten points. I like to feel popular and widely read.

Change...it's a good thing. I kind of like Zilla. People will wonder what it's all about.
Pinkish orange is NOT coral. And if you ask me, coral is slightly less than absolutely fabulous, but I'm sure it's lovely on your mother. It seems like all moms go the coral route eventually.
I know hiatuses (hiati?) are good, but a little Lora or Jakezilla or Zilla is good to get the morning started!
I would love to see a picture of this outfit. :)
The weather is supposed to be great up here this weekend! You should be able to get in all the fun stuff without any trouble.
I like Zilla. Or -zilla. Both seem to suit you well.
I'm sure your orange is nothing like coral. Unless at some point in time you want it to be. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Have a great weekend and we'll see ya when we see ya!
We all turn into our mothers eventually--no use denying the inevitable!
I can make no comment except
change is good...
I am quite often trying to think of the new name, tag line or look for my blog. It's always nice to stir it up a little.
But then that doesn't make it right. Because aspiring to be like me? Not your best choice.
Enjoy your time off.
How bout CITY ZILLA - so you can always stay outta my burbs.
I like Zilla for a blog name! It is different!
And there is nothing wrong with pink, or orangey-pinks OR pinky-oranges!
But purple is better.
I'm just sayin'/
You're gonna bust into the triple digits anyday now, WOO HOO!!
If you were 2, going pantsless would be perfectly acceptable. I just dressed my child for the 3rd time today because it's all or nothing with him. Thankfully he confines it to our house.
Have fun this weekend. I'll be up that way in June for my sister's wedding.
I like Zilla, sans punctuation.
Also, of course pinkish-orange is totally not coral. It could be salmon, or peach, or some other food-inspired description.
i love pinkish orange, and i'm sure you look fabulous in it.
i miss you when you're gone - but you deserve a hiatus, so take as long as you need. i'll still be here when you get back.
I'm a big fan of change when it's my idea but tend towards being cynical and suspicious when it's anyone else suggesting it. Because obviously no one is allowed to grow and change and redefine themselves other than moi. (Which might well go towards explaining why I've come to a point of frustration with Facebook, but that's a post for my own sadly neglected blog.) That said, I'll read what you have to write regardless of the title. Even if you redo the color scheme to match the pantless image you paint of yourself. Perhaps especially if you redo the color scheme (I just typoed "coral" instead of "color").
Also, according to the guy in line behind us at Banana Republic this weekend, pink and orange is coral. And he should know, having just walked out of a vomiting rainbow of pinkorangecoral. At least that's what I'm assuming that was the reason for that sport jacket and pants combination. Definitely not khaki.
I'll miss you. I am contemplating changing names too. Maybe something more interesting will inspire me to update more frequently. I am so lazy.
I like Zilla AND pinkish-orange (which is NOT coral).
Oh, darn, I just found you and really enjoyed reading you, hope you come back soon. Enjoy your time off and I will look for your posts, new name and possibly a color change too!(lol)
There is a huge difference between hot pink and orange and coral! Lately I have been migrating to hot pink and blood red.
You enjoy yourself.
We'll wait.
I like 'Zilla!! Oh and I like Orange and Pink... Hot pink... makes me nostalgic for the 80's!! Dont go too far away... I enjoy getting my Lora Fix!!
NOOOO! I just met you and you are going away. Well, if it's just for a little while, I guess I can permit a little, itty bitty vacation. I think the world definitely sees you as the delicate little flower you are. Coral is a great color, but I think pinkish orange is a color in its own right. Sometimes I want to change my blog name and start over. I hate my blog right now. It's so damn whiny. I picked the name because I've always been obsessed with Alice in Wonderland and I always feel like I'm falling down the rabbit hole into a world of nonsense. and my middle name is Alison, so it worked. Maybe you could try to work your first name/middle name into the blog title? Or if you like Z words, you should definitely use the word "zombie". I've been hearing it a lot lately and I like it. Ok, that's enough of me now. Enjoy the break. I'll miss you.
Hate to tell you - pinkish orange = coral. Don't worry, just have your slight walk on the girlie side and then veer back when you tire of it!
And where's the picture of this outfit??
Variegated azalea!!! I spit out my Diet Coke. LOVE IT.
Have a blast at home this weekend-
(and you know THEY always say that change is good....who are THEY??)
Have a great weekend! Thanks for checking in!
We SO have to cruise the Dock if we're ever in Erie again at the same time. Have fun!
