I am giving up the blog. It’s kind of sad, and I really enjoyed writing it, for a while, but I just don’t have time for it anymore and I think that’s clear to us all. It’s become a chore, and I don’t want it to be that way. I spent the last few weeks not photographing food, and I have to tell you, it felt pretty fabulous.
So thanks for reading for all of this time, I really appreciate it. It’s been fun, and I met many awesome people, which was by far the best part. Maybe I’ll pick it back up again one day, but for now, I think I’d rather just let it go.
OMG NO. My heart hurts 😦 I’ll seriously miss you so much, Ar! 😦
I wish you nothing but the bestest of the bestest and I’m still sending you your yummies!
Ahhh, Arielle!! I’m going to miss you so much!! I hope that 2009 proves to be a wonderful year for you.
Self care is priority #1. I’m glad you’re ending the blog if it’s become a burden. Enjoy your time to yourself!
I’m going to miss your witty posts!
Arielle –
I came in at the end of your blog at a referral of Twitter and I loved it. However, I do understand how time consuming blogs can be. Better to be happy and carefree then burdened with having to blog. Good luck!! I will live you in my reader on the chance you decide to post in the future.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, really!?!?! I’m sad, but I understand. Blogs are a lot of work and very time consuming. I hope you pop back into the blogworld every now and then! I’ll miss your hilarious posts!
I really enjoyed reading your posts, but definitely shouldnt be a chore. Have a great 2009 and beyond!
I will miss you!! But I’ve always told myself that if blogging ever felt like a chore than it’s not a good thing, so I’m happy that you’re happy. Hope to see you around sometimes, though!
Oh No! Checking my blogs everyday at work will be one blog sadder. 😦
Awh, really sorry to hear about that! But I do hope you have a fantastic 09!
Awwww can’t say I’m surprised since you haven’t been posting much recently, but still sad! Best of luck with everything 🙂
I hope you come back soon, but definitely understand your busy life comes first. Good luck and I will miss your humor and pictures of Jack and Sun Chips.

I was thinking about you yesterday and wondering when you were going to post again. 🙂 I’m glad you’re doing the best thing for you! I’ll miss you.
Oh bummer, this isn’t news I wanted to wake up to.
I’m kidding though, that’s probably the best decision if you weren’t enjoying it. I hope that you pop back every once in a while to show us some too cute doggie pics or fun throw together recipes. But even if not, have an awesome new year ahead of you 🙂
Hey Ari–
I’m right there with you, with the busy life and all. I’ll miss your hilarious posts, but I completely understand the busy life-You have to put yourself first. I commend your honesty and hope to see you back soon!!
Ally 🙂
Aww I am sorry to hear that I won’t be able to visit your blog anymore. I understand though. Blogging can be a lot of work. I just started my own blog, however, I am keeping it simple and not including pictures of every single meal.
We will miss you.
Dang it. I am sad. What will I do without pictures of Jack to brighten my day??? Seriously that, I will miss your witty posts. Have fun planning your wedding!!
**that=though
aww I will miss you!! Your blog is always one of the first ones I go to check on everyday. 😦
Am sad, but understand… all the best to you!!
I’m not sure what mom will do with all of her free time now. I will miss my favorite blog and blogger but maybe you will have time to call me now. Or at least text. Shinein in oh ninein.
I’ll miss you Arielle!

Aw, you will be missed. Have fun and good luck.
OH NO!
hope you’ll come back one day, but i understand how hard it is for sure.
good luck with the wedding!
I will miss your blog terribly as well. Best of luck and thanks for all the great recipes you shared with us all! I got a lot of keepers from you! 🙂
Awww. Couch Cubicle will be missed so much. 😦
It was great while it lasted, and hey, at least I get to continue eating all the great food from here.
Boo.
That sucks.
I’ll miss you.
Maybe I can take over for you and show all the people how to make Tuna Helper and frozen lasanga.
email me!
I’m going to miss you too much! Good luck with everything!
I’m sad to see you go…your posts were always sure to make me smile 🙂
Hope you enjoy your free time, though!
What? This is the worst New Years Resolution I have ever heard. Make Shawn do the blog.
Boo 😦 This blog was def one of the most amusing. Thanks for the jokes.
Say it ain’t so! Since you live so far away, I could easily get on here and it seemed like you were almost home. I am really upset, maybe you should take a vote. I for one do not want to see this go. If you plan on making any other rash decisions for the new year, please consult me, your medical advice first.
BOOOOOOO.
*sniff*
I was going to comment on this earlier but I couldn’t stop crying.
I hope you have a good, food-photography-free 2009.
I definitely understand your reasoning, but I’ll miss your posts!! I still plan to get in touch with you when/if I make it out to NYC though!! 🙂
Tides rise and fall. Best of luck with whatever you put your energy into!
you make me sick
i miss your posts already 😦
Best of luck to you Arielle!
I never left you a post before, but I have really enjoyed reading your blog! You have a great sense of humor and a wonderful writing style. I hope you change your mind and start blogging again!
Best of luck to you, thank you for having such a wonderful blog 🙂
