YOU GUYS.
JJWT is looking for a new even kickA-ier job. Bc he is such a grown up and hates fun and me being happy, he is worried people will find this by google'ing us.
{what? Aren't there like a BRILLION Jordan/Jason/Wes/Taylors who went to law/biz/med/dental school and married Tiffany/Amber/Megan/Nicoles???}, sooooo, he's putting the other shoe down and said no more.
:(
I'm not even sad for me I'm sad for you!
Your going to miss the crap out of me!! How will you know what to wear? How will you know how to be? How will you know what's cute vintage and what's ug?? You won't even get to point and laugh at Ruth w/ me!! You won't even get to see Derek's wedding! You won't even get to see Lynzii and I's fight til the bitter end! You'll never know what my new calling will be! What if I chop my hair and you don't even know about it???????? You won't know if Yvette ever manages to get married or how fast JJWT's yet-to-be-formed juice co takes it to the next level! What will you do w/o my oversharing??? You won't get to see Alivyiah TreCole and Tridger Kaegrin's aMaZiNg birthday parties, you won't get to see my daily darling design inspiration, you won't know what to buy or covet or tantrum over and worst of all...
you won't get to meet Brogan, who will be born in May.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO HARD FOR YOU.
Luckily I've got the sneaky feeling there're about ninety hundred blog's totally inextinguishable from mine to keep you going thru the hard times.
Thanx for reading, for realsies.
Farewell, my e-BFFs, till we meet again in that great anthropologie in the sky.
No TAMN!!! Don't go!!!
ReplyDeleteSo long and thanks for all the fish.
ReplyDeleteWow. This is a sad, sad day that I worried would come someday (assuming this really is for realsies). I just want to say THANK YOU for this blog. It has helped me keep things real, believe it or not. It's a sanity check for me to come here and see that someone else is poking fun at something that I think is utterly ridiculous. So, thank you, for validating me, TAMN!! Best of luck with Brogan, I'm sure he'll love his name....
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh!! This is really a sad day!
ReplyDeleteNo! TAMN we will miss you SO much!
ReplyDeleteI am crushed. I so look forward to your posts for guidance.
ReplyDeleteWhat?!!NOOOOOOOOOO!!! THis IS worse than death.
ReplyDeleteIs this for reals? I'm seriously going to go through withdrawals.
ReplyDeleteNoooooooo! Puhleeeeeeez tell me this isn't so. :(
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteWait is this for serious or just another one of your "blog breaks"??? please no!!!
ReplyDeleteI am seriously, so sad. Best of luck in the future, TAMN.
ReplyDelete"The great anthropologie in the sky" might be one of the best lines yet.
ReplyDeleteAnd TAMNers, and chick behind TAMNers? In case this is "for realsies" goodbye:
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo.
This blog has brought me a lot of sanity. I will be giving you a standing ovation in my heart forever and ever amen.
Nooooooo! {sniff} So sad! All I have to say it THAT was an amazing ride. Thanks for the laughs, TAMN. You are amazing and you will be missed! Love you!
ReplyDeleteYour Token Asian Friend.
You can't go! I need this blog!
ReplyDeleteBaby your a firework.
ReplyDeleteBravo.
And thanks.
Isn't Brogan the name of one of the ogres from Shrek 4?
ReplyDeleteWaaaaaaaa! I'm sad for me, too. What, he's going to work for the CIA?!
ReplyDeleteI agree, this blog has helped me to realize how I DON'T want to be, as crazy as it sounds. I'll miss you!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'm totally bummed! I just moved to Utah and I love seeing the all your posts practically come to life here. Thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteyou will be sorely missed. thanks for all the laughs.
ReplyDeleteonce it's over, will you reveal your identity and write a book about it or something?
BFFs 4EVER!!!
oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDelete:(
THANK YOU. Just so you know, my all time fave post was this one (http://seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com/2009/06/now-that-im-from-dc.html) about when you lived in dc and made a zillion friends exactly like you.
ReplyDeleteAs an out-of-stater subject to droves of TAMNs and JJWTs flowing through my ward, it came a great time and caused a good healthy belly laugh.
Love you! FOR REALSIES.
My life is officially over... your blog is why I get up in the morning!
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOO TAMN! Don't go! How will I ever know if Brogan's middle name is something valient like Zeezrom? How will I ever know if Derek had the most amazing cake and kick-a recepshun ever? How will I ever know if Lynzii's next baby leaves her teensi body all hefty?
ReplyDeleteI for sure hope you come to the mishun feld sometime in the future so we can be bffs for realz. I will miss you!
You're breaking my heart.
ReplyDeleteTAMNers! What do you think you are doing?! You can't just abandon us now!! Why not just go private? Then NOBODY will now that you are JJWT's super hot wife. At leest think about it first, ok?!
ReplyDeleteNO TAMNers! Please don't go! How will I learn to be like you if I am not kept abreast of what you are like that day?!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Like you said in you're earlier post--when you missed cause of you're cruze--if you don't blog about it, is it rilly even happning? Oh.My.Gosh. My world is, like, shooken to it's core!!!! I don't know what to even believe anymore. :(
ReplyDeleteseriously? I can't believe I'm actually sad. Truly. If this is real, I just have to say: Props. Kudos. And Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIs this post actually real? If so, then that's a very sad day for all of us fellow stay at home mommies who keep pressing refresh button on our blogs to see if you have posted anything on our automatic updaters on our blog lists.
ReplyDeleteI'm truly sad to see you go. You brought much joy into my life. JJWT is a meanie.
Thanks for the ride, TAMNers. Reading your blog kept me sane at times, and always laughing. It's a sad morning here, for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I knew this day would eventually come, so I must say to whomever is behind this that you're brilliant, and you've provided me nearly all of my best laughs of the past few years. Best of luck to you in whatever you do!
ReplyDeleteFave TAMN-ism: tubbalardy!
worse. day. ever.
ReplyDeletei have no idea how i'll cope.
hmmm. maybe a cruise?
Seriously? Sigh. I'm hoping is isn't for reals... but if it is, thanks. I so looked forward to your posts that literally made me LOL. You put many a smile on my face... good luck :)
ReplyDeleteI felt this one coming for a while--your posts were so few and far between:( It was funny, but I can see how you were getting tired of it and ready to move on. Good call.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is just JJWT being mean. Hopefully he'll get it through his thick boy brain that this blog is for prosterity and he'll feel bad. Then he'll get you tons of GCs and take you to Cheesecake tonight.
ReplyDeleteBut if not, thanks for all the laughs! We'll miss you!
NOOOOO!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories. I have been a devoted fan from the beginning. Without you, I would never have known that TAMN-like people existed. Thanks for sending my daughter a tee shirt. Thanks for bringing a lot of smiles to my gray days.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope that this is just another "fake" blog break. I find this blog to be hysterical and I look forward to TAMN's return once JJWT stops being such a goober!
ReplyDeleteTotal and complete shock. The tearsies are welling up. How can I be expected to keep my resolutions when my year is starting off so bad, and next week is my birthday too! Can we at least meet at the park sometime?
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this is a fake blog break!
ReplyDeleteSince you were picked up by the national media (Slate) I guess you kind of peaked.
ReplyDeleteI have a sneaky suspicion that you may make the occasional comeback because you just can't resist. But then it will be for you, not for your fans- which is what made this blog great in the first place.
I am SO sad. I just found your BLOG and my hubby and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Please reconsider!!
ReplyDeleteYou must unveil yourself so the world will know who the true genius behind this has been. What is your new venture?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs. I will miss you keeping it real (by not keepin' it real). Good luck in all you do!
ReplyDeletewill aint that a kick in the pants! i will miss you're lactating calendar the most!
ReplyDeletesay it isn't so. I would DIE for reals!
ReplyDeleteThis is the worst day of my life!!
ReplyDeleteTAMN! Please tell me this is another cry for validation and attention because you wouldn't really stop this blog?!?!?!?!?!??! I NEEEEEEEED it. Don't go don't go don't go! You need the $$ from the ads for your pedi's especially now!
ReplyDeleteI am in shock too! I wish you the best of luck in everything you do. May you always be as happy and perky!
ReplyDeleteCome back someday when you're a grandmother that looks younger than Alivyiah and brag about your monthly cruises and where you are serving as a mission president. I'll look forward to it.
ReplyDeletei refuse to believe this.
ReplyDeletePlease no!
ReplyDeletedon't do it!!
ReplyDeleteI will miss this blog! It is so funny and seriously so true. I love how you never miss any details, like the mispelling of then in worse then death. Noone could replace this blog even if they tried.
ReplyDeleteTAMNers Creator,
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the most brilliant satirists I have ever come across. Thanks for the laughs, the observations, the thoughts. You are a gem. Forever and ever, amen.
Just know that if the rest of us get all poligafrump, it's not our fault...we just didn't have your guidance.
If you are serious, then THANK YOU for all the laughs. I have really enjoyed reading your blog. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteIf this is for real, I'm sad to see you go. :'( You're an excellent writer and I will miss your hilarious posts.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've been meaning to e-mail you and tell you that TAMNers reminds me of Michelle from the current season of The Bachelor. You'd be best friends or bitterest enemies if you ever met!
TAMN! This had better be another of your jking dealios, bc I CANNOT live without this blog!!!! I will literally die and scream and rant and rave!!!!
ReplyDeleteTAMN!!! I think it's time to have a real sirius talk with JJWT and tell him the blog is part of your MARRIAGE! I mean!...
ReplyDeleteWaaaaaa!!!
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't JJWT Know that your blog is APART of you?!?! It like, defines and shapes and inspires the very ESSENCE of TAMN! That's like... taking away fro-yos for life--only WORST!. Oh TAMN, I fell like apart of me is dying...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs. You are brilliant. Favorite TAMN word of all time: polygafrump. Love you!
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough, dearest anonymous TAMN blogger. I don't live in Utah- never have lived in Utah- but know lots of people who live/are from there. As an East Coaster, all I can say is Bravo. Truly and sincerely- Bravo!
ReplyDeleteNooooo! Don't go!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this is just another one of TAMN's ploys for attention...
TAMNers! I seriously just found your blog YESTERDAY, and you just can't stop now!! It's absolutely BRILLIANT in every way... you just can't pull up and leave, I just got here! Fast and pray on these things... and tell JJWT that we'll pinky swear to NEVER try to discover who you are and, if we do, we'll NEVER tell your bishop. PLEASE PLEASE RECONSIDER!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you for rill?
ReplyDeleteMy best friend has a DAUGHTER named Brogan. Just sayin. I will miss you bad. Maybe you can come back as soon as JJWT gets a job.
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius, whoever you are. Thanks for the ride.
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely loved reading your blog. You are seriously one of the funniest people and your writing is genius! Good luck in all your future endeavors!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I just found you a few days ago, and now you're leaving. Your blog is seriously funny. If you do shut it down, at least leave up what you've already written for a while? I've got catching up to do!! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously?? I am feeling a legitimate feeling of loss over this. You're kidding right? I hope so. This has been so awesome to read for literally YEARS...so if this is the end thanks for the laughs!! May we all be less high maintenance and judgmental, and more real and sincerely Mormon after reading this for so long ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so confused! I just discovered the brilliant amazingness that is your blog last week (from a Salon.com article about atheist feminists who love MMB, and like you are a bit perplexed by the whole thing. You give all of us sane Mormon mommies a voice, and I was looking forward to more....hmmmm...maybe this is just a great set-up for a great return, TAMN-style?
ReplyDeleteWHAT?! I just found you like, three days ago. You can't just leave like that? Is this for realsies?
ReplyDeleteTo TAMN: *frownsmile* It's so sad that you and your husband aren't completely in sink, like my prince charming and me are. We'll totally pray for your marriage.
ReplyDeleteTo the kindred spirit behind TAMN: You are 1000% brilliant and I will miss you like crazy! Thanks for all the good times; I'll eat two whole bites of a Cafe Rio salad in your honor! :)
What?
ReplyDeleteHow will I go on without you? I guess that since you won't be blogging about his birth story, I will name my baby boy (who is also due in May) Brogan. In your honor. I really really love you. You have made me laugh out loud more than any other person I've never met.
ReplyDeletei want to cry. ;-( my world is shattered.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to include one thing we'll never know; if you went to see "Breaking Dawn" even though its content could be considered "inapropriate" (& more importantly what you thought about i!)
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I'll miss you. I can see where you wouldn't want your good-natured ribbing of all things Utah slash Mormon to affect things in your real life.
Best of luck!
TAMN, are you just fishing for compliments again? If not, I will seriously miss you. Thank you for the many laughs!
ReplyDeleteI hope this isn't for realsies. I will just have to go back and read all of your old posts over and over and over, that's all. YOU ARE BRILLIANT.
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooo! TAMN, you can't do this to us!
ReplyDeleteThis is so depressing, but as long as you keep your blog up in the online world, I will be satisfied browsing old posts. Thanks for the genius.
ReplyDeleteWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
ReplyDeleteTo the writer of TAMN: But in all seriousness, thank you for this blog. I wish you the best in your endeavors. You have made my life totally kick-A! ;)
Please say it isn't true!
ReplyDeleteVery funny. Ha ha ha. Can't wait for your next post.
ReplyDeletePlease don't TAMN. We're all begging you. Who else's blog will I check every day who can give me a smile like you do? NOBODY'S that's who.
ReplyDeleteTAMN, It's totally working. Pretend you're never blogging again to get an outpouring of love and e-worship. P.S. I love you so much, and life without you would be stale and crusty.
ReplyDeleteUm, TAMN...I don't expect Derek to have a wedding anytime soon...at least not one where there is a blushing bride in a white dress, well, I take that back, it may be that there would be a blushing somebody in a white dress...
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously now, if this is a serious goodbye, this is a sincere thank you for all the laughs and near truths you've exposed us to. Sometimes when I see people acting like a TAMN, I just laugh inside, and realize I want to be considered a more down to earth person than a TAMN. This blog has truly helped me open my eyes when I've begun to edge over into TAMN like behavior.
Good luck to you, anonymous author. You've made blog life enjoyable for me.
I think this is my fault. I just found you a week ago and am seriously addicted. I think the Big Guy is telling me I have to do other things with my time. I guess I will never have to make the decision of whether or not to post a comment to try to win something, and whether or not that is gambling, which is almost as bad as porn.
ReplyDeleteoh no!!!! are you serious :S
ReplyDeleteNot OK.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure once SLC hears about this, you'll be excommunicated.
I'm just sayin.
Seriously!?
ReplyDeleteI haven't cried this hard since 'Friends' ended!!
I'm hoping this is just an attempt for some validation... but, really, do you have to panic us? Why not just do a giveaway!?
Yeah, yeah. See you tomorrow ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Tamner's NO!! You can't do this I can't believe that JJWT is being such a meanie!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you just start a new blog and not tell him about it? It would be kind of like how you've been getting cash back at the grocery store to pay for your GNO's after JJWT told you to stop spenting money and then when he asked why the grocery bill had tripled you told him how expensive it is to buy grocerys now that the twinners are almost two and your preggo and everything anyways does he really expect you to buy store brand stuff?
Just remember, that the most important thing in a marriage is honesty as long as it doesn't keep you from getting the stuff that you want.
I hope you're just craving attenshun, TAMNers, bc we love you.
ReplyDeleteIt's been awesome, but i think JJTW has it right. Good luck with whatever you're up to next!!!
ReplyDeleteYou cannot go! I just found your blog this week and I have seriously been laughing my bootie off! STAY!
ReplyDeleteYou will be missed! But where am i supposed to get my daily laugh from now?
ReplyDeleteThank you for being seriously. so. awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis cannot be fer reals, right? I am soooo sad, especially b/c I totally thought of you yesterday as I started my herbal cleanse since I was so tubbarlardy after the holidays. What am I going to do?
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Oh no!! Please don't go!!
ReplyDeleteHeartbreak. Is this a ploy for all your non-commenters to come out of the woodwork? If so, well played.
ReplyDeleteI am sad, for rills. Thanks for all the laughs!
ReplyDeleteYou've helped me figure out what to do in order to get marred even though I'm officially way too old for anyone to even look at me twice! I don't know what I'll do now!
ReplyDeleteif it's fur realz, than so sad to see you go and i wish you all the bestest luck in the world *fingers crossed you'll get yw pres in time for brogan to be born so you'll have tonz of babysitters!*
ReplyDeleteI'll miss ya, TAMN. It'll be fun going through the archives and picking out my favorite old posts of yours. :) Have fun moving on with your real life!!
ReplyDeleteCrushed. Absolutely crushed. No sarcasm here!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm only the bazillionth person to say this but I just discovered your blog and now you up and leave. Sad day in America.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs....I really loved this blog! But if it's time for you to move on, then good luck with your life :)
ReplyDeleteReading your blog has been SUCH fun - but if it's time for you to move onto a different area of your life then best of luck! (You were BRILLIANT!)
ReplyDeleteTAMN, don't go! Is this seriously for reals? It is going to be so hard on me!
ReplyDeleteIf this really is goodbye, thanks for all of the laughs and mottos to live by. Where would I be without you and your wisdom?
Right now, all over the world (ok in zion and the pre-zionic states) people are sitting at Cafe Rio, unable to hold back the tears, crying into their pork salads. What did we ever do to deserve this???
ReplyDeleteI WILL meet you in that great anthro in the sky. I'll be the one pulling up in the silver/gray Range Rover, with Lake Pal highlighted hair and the most fab boots you've ever seen. Oh wait, that's you!
You are a genius. May they one day create a holiday Monday in your honor.
Dear TAMN-author,
ReplyDeleteWhether this winds up being a permanent break or not, please write a book someday and get famous! Or in other words-- the premiere LDS author today that people know about is Stephanie Meyer. PLEASE CHANGE THIS.
Big hearts, TAMNers! If anyone can do it, it's you!
NO! it can't really be true. PLEASE don't go. I love your posts they make me laugh when I feel all serious! :( double BOO.
ReplyDeleteoh TAMN! My heart is seriously breaking right now! Every time my daughter wears the super cute dress I won on your fabulous blog I might just cry!!! I will miss you like so, so, so much!
ReplyDeleteReally though, the creator of this is amazing! You are so extremely talented. I wish you good luck in everything you do and hope we might get to meet the "real you" someday!
I wondered how long the laughs would last--and I'm not sure if you're for real. But thanks. My favorite was the post where you called and told your infertile ?cousin? or ?aunt? that you "totally understood" after trying for a week. Thanks for the laughs
ReplyDeleteis this like that time you were gonna go privat? or is this like for reals?
ReplyDeleteTAMN. Don't go.
Like my (not so awesome) ex-BF told me once...a breakup takes 2 people. So, according to that logic, this whole "quitting blogging" deal is a no-go for me. Until I decide to let you go.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the next post!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO TAMN!!! Where will I go for guidance!??!?!
ReplyDelete(And to the gal who brought her to life- you are brilliant!! Thank you for the exposure of our generation and the wild and crazy culture that can SERIOUSLY get out of control. Much lurve and sparkles.)
Sad, sad day. But it's been a great time. I've been reading since the beginning, and I even lived in DC the same summer you did-- why didn't we hang out??
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, thanks for the laughs and the awesome entertainment. You are hilarious. And my favorite TAMN line ever?? "Also, yay birds." PURE GENIOUS. Haha. I'm not an idiot, just feeling TAMN-ish.
*sigh* :( frown...not frownsmile...
ReplyDeleteI suppose we're all going to have to start following our sister-in-laws' blogs...
But it's just not the same when they're for rills.
TAMNERS, DON't LeAve US!!!
The best of luck to you. You are a brilliant writer and I've enjoyed your humor, your genius word choice, the delightful malapropisms, and of course the satire. It was incredibly fun to read you!
ReplyDeleteJust withold sex until JJWT gives you youre way.
ReplyDeleteNo!!! I will secretly hope this is just like all the other cry-for-attention posts (you know the ones) that bring you more validation & make you change your mind. Best. Blog. Ever.
ReplyDeleteAw man. I have loved you. Keep being amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun.
ReplyDelete127 comments as soon as you posted!? That's got to be the validation you were looking for. Please don't wait more than a few hours to tell us you're not really leaving.
ReplyDeleteGod be with u til u blog again!!
ReplyDeleteWitch will be like tomorrow, right?
This is the saddest day of my entire life.
ReplyDeleteI haven't laughed hard enough to snort milk out my nose since elementary school... until I started reading your blog. Now I do it on a regular basis. If you're serious about not blogging anymore, bring on the Cymbalta.
ReplyDelete(I honestly pray that you are writing a book or three if you aren't blogging.)
is this for real???
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant. I will miss you. And I don't usually wear high hills.
ReplyDeletePlease don't go! I can't wait to see a post from you! and i don't want to miss all the great events coming up in your life!
ReplyDeleteim super hoping this is just a april fools joke in january. you would create something funny like that. cause your so funny.
I hope he gets a new job quickly so you can be back!!!! You're my favorite blog EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteTAMNers! You are just breaking my heart girlfriend. When we meet in the great anthropologie in the sky, I plan to wear a super-cute pair of Seychelles heels and all Leifsdottir.
ReplyDeletep.s. This means now we can't have a blog babyshower for Brogan. Hello?! I had SUCH good color schemes envisioned for the internet affair of the new decade!!!
xoxoxoxoxo
Psh, you'll be back.
ReplyDeleteRan out of ideas?
ReplyDeleteCreative juices stopped flowing?
Seriously, so sad.
WHA??? You DID tell him this is your family journal, right? It's for postearitey!
ReplyDeleteTAMN?! Um am I the only one that sees the fact that MAY is NOT 102 days away? Ummmm, that's late March/early April at best. What's going on here, girl?
ReplyDeleteOh ps, I am pissed that you are a quitter and I think it makes you NOT very DARLING!
Don't leave me! You're the reason I can stay sane in Zion.
ReplyDeleteSad. I have loved reading this. Thanks for all the kicks, best of luck on your next thing!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes filled with tears as I read this, because I have read your blog since the very first day; and it's always been wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou're a brilliantly talented writer, and I'm so grateful that you shared your gifts and insight with the world. Now, THAT is service.
I will miss you with all my heart. Take care, and the very best to you always. XOXO, love you. :-(
*{speechliss}*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the daily hilarity. I'll miss it, but BRAVO. It's been great.
ReplyDeleteI really hope this isn't true - I don't know how I'll survive life in Zion and the Jell-o Belt!!!!
ReplyDeletesay it ain't so!!
ReplyDeleteno!!
ReplyDeleteDear Real TAMN: You have been a much loved part of our household... you will be missed. Thank you for it all... we wish you the best!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Noticed the advertisements are gone... this must be the real deal. :(
We all knew it had to end eventually. Thanks for all your time and thought you put into these. Even though this is a satirical blog, you still helped out a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteBravo, Good-night!
for realsies!
What? No!
ReplyDeletefor rels?
ReplyDeleteTragic. Truly tragic.
ReplyDeleteNooooo!!! This can't be true TAMN!! Thanks for the laughs. (and if this is for realsies, can the true author please show herself? :) Thanks!)
ReplyDeleteFor realsies? Plz no!!!
ReplyDeleteTAMN, you will have to die from a freak flat iron electrocution accident or from breathing in too many fingernail polish fumes before I believe you are truly gone.
ReplyDeleteSnaps to you for a job well done! My fave SSB moment: "TAMNers Goes to Washington." Good stuff.
what????? you're leaving? for realsies? BAAAAAAA....okay, where's the link for your going-away-give-away? I need a prize!
ReplyDeleteand if this is for realsies, so sad for me, thanks for the laughs.
NO TAMN NO.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
ReplyDeletePlease no TAMN! I love reading your blog. Why oh why do you have to leave! Blogging is like your purpose in life! I beg of you to not leave!
It's been incredible. I have literally hugged my iPad to my chest in laughter after reading your posts. I hate to see it end--you truly are a genius. My favorite TAMNism? Poligafrump. Honestly, best word ever. Thanks for the laughs. Standing ovation from me.
ReplyDeleteUgh. So sad.
ReplyDeleteWHAT?!
ReplyDeleteInextinguishable. Haha! Way to go out with a bang! Loved your blog. Good luck!
ReplyDelete*sniff, sniff*. Thanks for all the laughs. For realsies.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah... write a book!!!!
To the Creator:
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you!
Your dead-on depiction of (occasional) Mormon insanity/cultural has been refreshing and bell-laugh inducing.
Could the real TAMN please step forward now so we can bow at the feet of your awesomeness? I hope you write a book about this endeavor. Thanks for the memories.
I hope this isn't real. I love your blog! Please don't go. Please keep writing. Even if it's only once a week or once a month, that would be OK. Is this a fake break? Because you've done those before... please come back! Everybody loves you slash is intimidated by your awesomeness!!!!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that I can at least buy this blog in book form to get me thru the days.
ReplyDeleteThe ads are gone, the music is gone. It is over. :-( I'll miss you. Good luck and thank you for all the wonderful laughs!
ReplyDeleteDear real TAMN:
ReplyDeleteIf you really have to leave, could you tell us who you are?!
Please?
P.S. please don't remove the blog posts!
Oh to bigger and better things...a book maybe? Thanks for sharing your sense of humor with us and for making us laugh at ourselves (and others...heh).
ReplyDeleteYou are nothing short of a genius and I'll miss all your deep thoughts.
Awesome. I'll miss you.
ReplyDeleteI, too would love to meet the real TAMN. You've been absolutely hilarious and dead-on. Thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteBravo, bravo, bravo.
ReplyDeleteWhat else can be said.
Seriously.
Thanks for all the laughs! I've thoroughly enjoyed the moments I've spent reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou ought to compile your posts into a book and write about how it all came to be and the experience of it all. It would be a best seller!
Thanks again and have a kick-a life!
OMGOSH. The blog world is going to implode without TAMNers. Srsly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the laughs!!!You have nailed the funny cultural quirks that we see all around us. You have made me aware of who I don't want to be like!!! You are a genius and I love you.!
ReplyDeletethanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteWhoever you are, thank you. You always make me giggle.
ReplyDeleteTAMN, the thought of you leaving brings an almost-tear to my eye and makes my heart sad :( We have loved and will miss you and I echo the other person who said BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock. Wishing you all the best and hoping that you resurface in the future! Hugs n kisses!
ReplyDeletesad! thanks for the serious fun!
ReplyDeleteNot even Rio every day will lift my spirits. And Diet Coke (so bad!)? It's just not enough either.
ReplyDeleteBut fer realsies - this blog is amazing. I'm glad you had the sudden inspiration to have fun with this. Thx.
Thanks for making me feel better about myself when I see who I could've been if I'd been married at 18 :)
ReplyDeleteAs an English teacher you always made me laugh-very cleverly written!
Oh Tamn, I was enspired that you was leaving. Thank you for telling us, even tho it brakes my heart to peaces. A yearly reunion would be wonderful. Or a monthly visit from you, updating us on your fabulous life. You have made me laugh out loud more then wons. Best of luck with your adoreable fam and fab life. And please reconsider leaving. Its like when your favorite tv show gets cancelled. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteare you freaking kidding me????!!! You can't do this to me in the middle of winter I will fall into a deep depression!!! this is lame:(
ReplyDeleteYou will be missed!
ReplyDeleteNo!!!! This blog is seriously hilarious! You can't go!! :(
ReplyDeleteTo TAMN:
ReplyDeleteFirst Oprah, now Mo-prah! Noooooo!
You can't go. There's so much we still need to learn from you! You never posted that tutorial on how to photoshop your children's portraits until their eyes glow and their noses are non-existent. Talk to JJWT about this, please. You only have to follow him when he's following the Lord. I'm not sure this qualifies.
To the woman behind the TAMN: I've been with you since your earliest posts, and I want to thank you so much for all the laughter you have added to my life. I hope you are on to bigger and better things, and that we will hear from you again.
Congratulations on such a great "accidental success", and another echo - BRAVO! Thanks for the laughs!!
ReplyDeleteTAMN. My heart is broken. This has been my favorite blog of all time!
ReplyDeleteI have nothing funny or witty to say-- because I depended on you to do all that!! This is a great blog!
ReplyDeleteDear Creator of TAMN,
ReplyDeleteAs an English teacher in Utah County, I have often used you as an example of perfect cultural satire. My students and I have laughed at your blog, and they have even written their own cultural satires.
As residents of Utah county, we want to thank you for keeping us all a little less TAMN-like
Thanks for all of the laughter! You were one amazing writer, and we are all so sad! If you ever decide to come back, you have a great fan base waiting!
ReplyDelete:( I hope this is just a fake blog post!!!! if it is real, you should totally reveal the genius behind TAMN!
ReplyDeleteSo sad! I've loved each post. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteI hope I run in to you next Summer at Lake Pal.
ReplyDeleteUntil then, thanks for the laughs.
is this a joke? TAMN don't go!!!!
ReplyDeleteI raise my glass of Diet Coke to you, the creator of this fabulous blog. You are so clever, so razor sharp, so hilarious and have a firm grasp of the way the culture of perfect Mormon wifeyness, and really all perfect wifeyness, can get out of control. You leave a hole in the blogosphere that cannot be filled. Best of luck to you in whatever your new endeavors might be. Thanks for all the laughs. You were and are a treasure.
ReplyDeleteNO!! NO!! NO!!
ReplyDeleteI WANT MORE!!!
NO!!! You can't go - you're too funny...
