Oh alright, I admit it.....I have a bad case of B.O. ...No not body odor but Blogger Olympicitus!

I think I'm either going through withdrawal or depression. I miss the fun, the mayhem, the medals and the sense of community.

I find myself sighing a lot and recalling the "glory days" of competition. I secretly go to Barbara's site looking for clues to what "champion bloggers do, or don't do, have, need, or get."

I'm frequently forgetful, in a blue funk, or have a lack of concentration. I'm seriously thinking of downloading a clock on my sidebar so I won't miss the next round of competition. What if I fall in a black hole between now and next year's events...Will anyone even notice? My imagination is missing, along with my "What's in the Pumpkin T-Shirt?" I miss the adrenalin rush, I miss the comments and most of all I miss you.

What if we approach the IOBC ( Barbara) with periodic "training events" throughout the year? (Friendly games to hone our skills. ) Do you think we could convince Barbara to come out of retirement? Would any of you be interested in hosting an event at your website? They could be monthly events or bi-monthly events.

I think we should launch a "I want more campaign".......I have it on good authority that Barbara is "a problem fixer" and always open for a good cause. I think she will either send me some scented bars of soap for my BO problem or decide that reporting the events would be good "therapy" for this Lazy Daisy.

Are you with me or am I standing alone with this BO problem?

You NEED to start writing that newspaper....come on..a weekly column on the made up lives of bloggers...
It will become a hit, Daisy, I PROMISE!
(and a sure fire cure for BO)

Minerva's idea is a good one.

I suggested having the Olympics every six months. You know summer and winter. How about if you write funny things, not necessarily true, and we will visit every day and comment and laugh and add to your mayhem? Would that help?

Too much of a good thing is bad. You need to rest up for the next olympics. You don't want to shoot your whole wad and have nothing left!!

You gotta find something else that "moves" you and inspires you. Something really special... then you can delve into that for a while - just until the olympics come back - then we need you rested and ready to go!!

I shouldn't comment on this because I'm too indecicive. On one hand, I agree with LBC above. We want you in full force next year!

On the other hand....
I agree with Minerva and Shelli regarding a newspaper about the made up lives of us bloggers. I think that would be so cool!

I told you that I shouldn't comment on this!

I also admit to having Olympic withdrawal. *Sigh* Maybe some monthly training would be just the ticket!!

:)

A good first one might be JumpStarters for Bloggers with writer's block. Me--for instance.

Lazy Daisy,

No one misses the Blog Olympics more than me! I'm glad to see there are a couple people (you and Joyce) who miss it also. I'm contemplating some warm-up exercises, or some training camps to tide us over until next January.
