cue the theme music from 'Jaws'

Thanks to Baraka, I just found out about National Delurking Week! So get to it, blurkers! Celebrate the season by taking two seconds to drop me a line, say 'ahoy,' or compose an ode to me blog. I'll even give you Monday off as a holiday.




And to sweeten the pot, I'll add that this may be one of the last chances for you to shout out and comment on my blog. I've had a good four year run with marriages, babies, houses, jobs, newunions, and a litany of other life-changing events, but it's time to take a break. So bloggers and blurkers alike, bid your adieus! After Baby X is born (gotta announce that!), my hiatus and/or permanent vacation will begin.

Hey Bajioso. I aint a blurker, I'm just a fan :)

Would hate to see you leave Blogistan, but I feel ye. Life happens.

aw, i don't want you to leave but understand. I've felt the same many times. Do anounce baby x!

i hope we can stay in touch through email.

..and just when i thought I was going to know you more and may be have frAANdship.aw!

Like everyone one is saying, i do understand. Once babyX comes out and gets a routine, you can start blogging on a monthly basis or even bi-annually :P

all the best and duas for days ahead. :)

ays - you mean we don't already have a fraandsheep?! waaah!

ob - dude, new youtube vid up for your viewing pleasure!

oh yeah and I guess I will miss your blog too, but not SO much, since I talk to you every day, if not thrice a day.

Traveller said...

ahoy there!

I must confess I've been a blurker on & off for a while. didn't really comment cuz I never really knew what to say; I quietly walk through life enjoying the simple pleasures :P

hoping you're well and I pray baby X brings you guys as much joy as baby Z gives :)

i'm with ol' baby, i don't know what everyone is on about, either. i refuse to be UNDERSTANDING. you must blog! Do write for CHILDREN!

bwahahaha i've been wanting to bust out with that everytime i see your tagboard.

but you're still my baji, so there'll be other hangingout sessions and rocking good times - with twooooo adorablicious babies now! ahhhh i'm too much the excited, yaar.

plus, if you're my baji, that means you're family, and you can never escape family. NEVER. and you may take that as a threat.

Ayesha said...

just checkin' baji:)
obviously we are friends but someone in the corner of my head was depressing me by shouting," she is very busy, why would she want another crackhead friend."

i killed that bastid.
(yasmine, i am stealing that B word from you)

PS: have you done your maternity photosession like other true american moms on flickr?;) hehe

and you have to see this, so much awww inducing.

yasmine said...

haha it's okay, ayesha - actually, i totally stole BASTID and BASTAGES off baji!

Anonymous said...

haha, yasmine, it's about time someone gave a nod to Mr. Do write for CHILDREN and i'm glad you were the one to do it.

baj said...

tvl - thx for the du'as and thx for stopping by and piping up! :)

yz & goj - i WILL write for CHILDREN! mark my words!

yz & aysh - actually, yz may have stolen 'bastages' from me, but i believe 'bastids' is pure yazzo. also, that pix was supercute. i'll be sure to post a 'best of' of zp before i leave. :)
