I called the Ninja to check on the status of his home improvement project. After we finished discussing his progress, he asked me how my life was going. Then I told him. Then he said, “You know, this stuff is gold, and it never makes the blog anymore. I’m glad I’m friends with you so I get to hear it though.”
He’s right. He’s 100% right. Couple that with the dozen other reasons why, and, people, it’s time. I think we all knew it was coming.
There’s plenty to say, but I have nothing I really want to say, except one thing.
I’m done.
Is it realy time to go? If indeed, it is curtains, good luck. Good luck to you, and Sherlock, and the doggies, and the office and all that other stuff. Peace.
We’ll miss ya but I think you lasted longer than expected.
We will always be here if you change your mind.
Love ya Sistah!
Say it isn’t so!
Well, I’ll at least see you at the 2008 party for when Giuliani wins!
This is a sad, sad day in the blogosphere.
Oh no. I’m so sorry to see that you’re leaving us, but can totally understand why. You’re a brilliant storyteller.
May the road rise up to meet you.
I really hope we’ll stay in touch. Hell, maybe I’ll be at the next happy hour…..or are you out of those too?
Be well and thanks for the memories
Good luck. I hope you keep telling your stories, in whatever format works with your life, because you have a great voice.
Poop. Pooooooooooop.
Wow, I have the same sentiments as Ninja…I feel lucky I get to hear the same stuff but I am so sad that you are shutting down. 🙁 BUT so happy for you in your personal life.
You’ve worked your way all the way through whatever it was you were processing. I say BRAVO!!! Glad I’m friends with you so I won’t lose touch entirely.
Maybe now you will write your book?? Love and more love to you!
Wow! Sorry to hear this. I hope no one thinks I said something to make you quit. I don’t want’t to get stabbed with a pool cue the next time I’m out at a bar…which will be in 8 hours.
Anyway, good luck with the other aspects of your life 🙂
Thanks for the memories…
haven’t even had my coffee yet and it’s monday…this is sad, sad news…but I love ya, hon.
But then who’s going to write about the lazy D.C. cops and mortgage interest rates?
I’ll miss reading your blog, Velvet. It always made me smile.
God dammit!
@$#%!&*#@!%$
What? Huh? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? We love you.
I’m sorry to see you go, but thanks for the good read.
Aw crap. Well, best of luck to you!
Velvet…exit stage right.
Cue 77.
Fade to black.
Oh… no.
I really hope we keep in touch…
And I want my scarf back! Because.. I really need it.. now… that spring…. is…….. here…. oh, fuck it – just looking for an excuse to go and have a drink with Ms. Velvet.
🙂
Not.
Happy.
I said this a while back and announced it on my blog as well that I think I’m done too. Sometimes you get to a point where you’re out of words although there’s still so much to say. That’s what happened to me. I wish you all the best and that what you have w/ Sherlock will grace my presence soon 😉 Kisses from the Lou!
Happy trails, Velvet!
thanks for making the blogosphere a more interesting place while you were here. i’ll miss you. see you on the other side… of the internet =:-)
Damn.
Good luck to you and Sherlock and the doggies.
And cheers to really living!
Not 100% surprised, but still 100% bummed. Hope you find peace and joy
You are doing what is best for you, that is all we can want for you.
You will definitely be missed!!
Hmmmm… Sad to see you go, super happy you’ve gotten to this place. Best of luck with everything and don’t be a stranger!! I’ll miss you and your insight and humor. You’ve been a wonderful friend on this blog world.
I was hardly linked to ye….I wish you the best, however and enjoyed reading you while I could.
I know I’ve been quiet the last few weeks, but although I haven’t been commenting, I’ve been reading (back to the good old days of lurking!). Will miss the blog but am v happy for you Miss V. Be well.
It was inevitable when you really fell in love. There have been some great recent posts, but the old Velvet is no more. I will keep up with you through e-mail and I can’t wait to hear the other news that is also inevitable. It’s been a great ride!
Dammit!
I’m TRYING TO UNDERSTAND- But- I’m not happy about it.
NOOOO! Damnit…sexy, smart, independent women are shutting their blogs. Understand and hate it at the same time.
Guest blogging! Think of the positioning – you let other have a week on your blog, and YOU comment on THEM!
It’s GOLD, Velvet. GOLD!
Sorry to hear it, but understand. Good luck with everything, you deserve the best.
Thanks Velvet, best of luck!
I’ll miss you, Velvet! All the best to you– hopefully I’ll get to see you around DC.
What’s this jade necklace shit. I give a damn good pearl necklace but jade…fuck…what is THAT?!
Who’s going to link to me now????
Seriously, I think I’m going to cry.
Oh no, another one of my favorite blogs disappearing. Thanks, and best of luck!
I’m just glad I’m friends with you; the stories are a bonus 🙂
Well, on to the next project… see you in Dupont, laptop in hand.
Lies!!!
Dear Velvet,
The way I see it, God gave you two great gifts.
1. Those burning loins
2. The silver pen
If anything, this blog is the greatest combination of those two.
I mean, perponder if Anais Nin never wrote all those hawt diaries or Einstein never discovered relativity.
You gets what I’m saying.
Now get back on the horsey.
No, the other horsey, velvet.
muhahaha!
😛
sorry to see you go. good luck w/everything as always…
Wow – good luck in everything, sad to see the site end…
Thank you for everything when I was getting started, and hopefully we’ll see you at HHs still?
Good Luck Velvet! Sad to see you go, but I wish you all the luck in the future! XO
We still better be on for drinks woman! 🙂
Good luck and thanks for blogging!
cheers sugar pie….
xoxo
Thanks for the wild ride, Velvet. Best of luck to you!
