Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you on this perhaps tragic day as the bearer of some heavy, but necessary, news.
This Thursday will be my last TMI Thursday entry here on Livit, Luvit.
I’ll let that sink in.
I know, it seems sudden. But really, it’s not.
I’ve written some 75 posts about bodily functions, sexual mishaps, general over-sharings, and the like. It’s gotten to the point where I’m stressed, where I’m reaching, where I’m hoping something vile and inappropriate will happen at my girlfriend’s bachelorette party, just so I’ll have a post that Thursday.
What?
I’ll be forever grateful for all the bathroom-humor-loving kindred e-souls I met through this, um, *project*… but TMI Thursday, at least for me, has run its course, and I’m hoping to tap out while on top.
(Twss.)
That said, let’s have one last big ass TMIT hurrah, huh? This Thursday, let’s come together, dig deep, and tell that one story we swear we never would. Let’s go nuts! Let’s have one big Never Have I Ever sesh. I’ll bring the popcorn.
And the She Pees.
WHAT?!?
Sigh. Some things will never change… it will *always* be TMI up in here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P.S. I’m over at In It To Gym It today as well, writing about The Dress. Check it out. Or don’t. WHATEVS.
P.P.S. Two of my favorite people, shine and Marie, have put together an incredible project called “Women’s Writes.” Marie will be linking everyone who takes part in it today, so make sure to check out her post. Whatever your personal politics or opinions, it’s guaranteed to be interesting.
Their message to us regarding the project:
“When the Criminal Homicide and Abortion Amendments bill passed in Utah at the beginning of March, both Shine and Marie reached the end of their rope when it came to women’s rights and issues consistently being pushed backwards rather than moving forwards. They decided to have a day in which any blogger could write about women’s rights and issues and bring them to the forefront so that we could speak up and make all of our voices heard. Know it. Write it. Say it.”

I’m uber sad to see TMI go, but I understand!!! Wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself trying to get some TMI worthy stuff now.
Nickie´s last blog ..Photo Tag.
I’m so sorry to see TMI go but I do hope that other blogger continue you’re great tradition. I, for one, am thrilled to read that other people do things that are at least as embarrassing as the adventures I have.
I’m sad to see TMI to go, but it’s definitely better to go out on top! You’re like… the anti-Brett Favre of TMI.
Hope´s last blog ..In It to Gym It!
*sadface*
but of course understand. I just hope when that next moment of utter embarrassment does occur, you will share it as a regular blog post!
I know many of us will continue to overshare and tag it as TMIT. One day our children will wonder where it all started and you will be a legend. Again.
Oh, I’m gutted. TMI Thursday is one of my favourite things – I’ll be sad to see it go. But then I don’t have to post every week if I can’t think of anything, so I guess I don’t feel the same amount of pressure for something disgusting to happen to me!
Paula´s last blog ..MY HANDBAG *MUST* BE HUNGOVER TODAY . . .
I understand. While I’m sort of new to participating in TMI Thursdays, I already started to feel pressure each week to write something juicy!
Well done, LiLu! I look forward to see what’s next from you & yours.

Maybe you can just do one occasionally, when something happens. That’s why I don’t participate in blog carnivals. It feels like you are living your life for your blog.
Kristina P.´s last blog ..Snuggie-veway Winners!
Can’t wait to go out with a bang this week.
Literally a bang.
sex = poop always equals TMI.
GET EXCITED.
Maxie´s last blog ..This is how you do April Fools’ Day.
It makes me sad when it’s the end of an era. Especially this one. But I get the stress in having to find a new thing every week.

Alice´s last blog ..women’s writes: clinic escorting
oh i haz a sad! i love TMIT because it always makes me feel so normal, either reading that other people do crazy things similar to me, or simultaneously that people out there are crazier/weirder than me!
Lusty Reader´s last blog ..Future paranormal release excerpts and giveaway winner
Oh no! Would you consider doing guest posts?
I completely understand though… it’s a bit much when you start to pray for food poisoning! ha.

I’m a little afraid of what this Thursday’s GoodbyeTMITstravaganza will bring!
Lemon Gloria´s last blog ..With many exclamation points! and laughter HAHAHA that will make you fear for my sanity if you didn’t already
So no more Post-Secret TMIs either??!!! Mannnnn… Bummer.

@Hannah, Actually, I was thinking I might still do those occasionally. They were just too damn good. Plus, I don’t actually have to do any work…
Wait, so Thursday posts had a theme? You aren’t like that just normally? Ohhhhh… *knowing nod*

Agreed, agreed. Thanks LiLu!
I suggest you start a TLIT (Too LITTLE Information Thursday) which is cool because not ONLY does it sound like a female part when you say it fast (vulva), it has all the makings of legend.
Like.
“Today I’d like to tell you about the time I went to the bathroom and found this thing sitting there with only socks on smoking a cat hair cigar.”
And that’s it.
You’re welcome.

I will be wearing a black armband all week to mourn the passing of TMIT.

Can we have a memorial service? I’ll bring the condom bouquet for the casket.

Ohhhhh.. but… but… who’s gonna take over? I’ll miss it so much even if I only got to be in it once.
Wynn´s last blog ..Project Runway, what?
Although I am very sad that TMIT will be coming to an end I completely understand. I mean one only wants to put her hand in poo or pee so many times before they just want to be done with it all.
So long to a good run my luv!
xoxo
Kellie´s last blog ..What’s going on? I have no clue.
You are a ground-breaker and I’m sure whatever you offer up will be the stuff of legends, TMI or not.

TMI Thursdays will be sorely missed
but I’m pretty confident that you will still bring inappropriate to the interwebs.

I suppose all good things come to an end? I’m definitely looking forward to this week’s potentially-dry-heave-inducing TMIs. You are a legend.

Say it aint so! You meant to post this on April 1, right?

I’m reeling!

Thank you for an era of normalizing the gross and embarrassing.
LesleyG´s last blog ..Friday Break
All good things must come to an end, as the saying goes. It was great reading. Can’t for the last one this Thursday.
You *say* you won’t be writing anymore TMIT posts but I say there will be more! Ok maybe not every week, but I know STUFF must happen!
What? It’s true.
Also, thanks so much for mentioning Women’s Writes! Really appreciate it.
Marie´s last blog ..Women’s Writes-Pushing Back
Oh that’s too bad. I’ve been quietly following you on my google reader for a couple weeks now thinking maybe I’ll get in on this sometime. I suppose it’s now or never. We’ll see… I still think your blog is cool beans, though.
Maureen´s last blog ..Back in Time: Denver Drama
Rest in peace TMI Thursday. I’ll miss all the disgustingness that I never could come up with comments for. It’s sad, really, when a life reaches its end.
You’re dead to me.
Just kidding! Good luck with new writing ventures. So sorry you ran out of snot stories and stuff. That’s sad. (Kidding AGAIN!)
JustLinda´s last blog ..Sorry, we are not currently accepting any new followers on Twitter.
Even though I haven’t participated very much, I’ve definitely enjoyed reading! It must be a relief (get it?) in a way to finally have run(get it?) out of material. Oh well, it’s been fun.
Cyndy´s last blog ..swamped
*sniff* Just when I found it, TMI Thursday will be gone? I’m so sad. Knowing that others queefed in public, and other such personal horrors as poo where it shouldn’t be, made us all feel a little bit better about our own queefing. We were able to find acceptance, albeit semi-anonymously.
Bless you for all you’ve done for us. TMI Thursday will be missed.
Kernut´s last blog ..Coming for TMI Thursday: Sex In Carson City
It had to end sometime, but it was good while it lasted.
And I’m sure there’ll still be some occasional TMIs thrown in there. I think the “best” ones happen when you least expect it.
Totally understand and I am sure we will all still do a TMI from time to time and fondly refer to you as the culprit that started it all (lol)
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Im sorry to hear TMI Thursdays will be coming to an end, but I totally understand your reasoning behind the decision.

ugh, this thursday will be a shockingly sad day. i’ll treasure it greatly.
well darling, I actually have a few unposted TMIT’s, so you know what? I may have to dedicate a few Thursday’s to you! Maybe I can take over for you for a while, y’know, post all the grossness over on my spot. Cause, I know you still like to read them, even if you’re done posting them
rebel mel´s last blog ..What I’ve been reading: Hand of Fate by Lis Wiehl with April Henry
Sad…I have never given you a TMI post, but I will come up with a good one for this week.
Ahh … I must join this week! What will become the tradition for Thursdays then? “This Girl LiLu Is Totally Awesome Thursdays”? I think that would suffice haha. It was a good run for sure, hope you’ll sneak it back in every so often
Nikolett´s last blog ..the cheer-up.
WHAAAAT!?!?! TMIT is my favorite thing on Thursdays in my Reader… are YOU done? or the whole project!?!?!
Ya know, TMI can just go on FMLA for 12 months – it’s yours and at some point you might want to reclaim. I have all the faith in the world that in 12 months, you’ll do many more embarrassing things….or your cats might….
Seriously, don’t stress. It’s a blog, you’re supposed to be having fun.
littlemsblogger´s last blog ..Egg Hunt or Blood Sporting Event…..
Still a badass. No matter what.
I haven’t been by in a while. Sad to say goodbye to TMI but you’re still the queen of the blog scene so whatevah.

Last TMI? noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I’ll have to rack my brain for some old really gross story. I guess this time I have to write about myself. :p
If you can find a way to use tallyho while you are deciding the fate of an alleged murderer…you will win so many cool points from me, it ain’t even funny.
Kiley´s last blog ..Yet, always you can choose to focus on what’s good.
as if this will stop me from sharing.
rip tmit – rip!
clairemontgomerymd´s last blog ..love me, hate me, drink with me
R.I.P. TMIT.
I’ll be sad to see TMIT go, but I understand the need to get out while the gettin’s good. Smart of you.
I also read a few of the Women’s Writes posts and they were fabulous. Only wish I’d gotten on it sooner.
;-(
Erin´s last blog ..One of my favorite breakfasts, or, I’m a total grouch if I don’t eat something in the morning.
Things that go out “on top” and therefore the world learns to hate:
Oprah
Party of Five (ok so no one hates this one and if you do you’re unamerican)
Friends
Sex and the City
Tru Calling
Seinfeld
I’m sure theres more but im suppose to be working

Nooooooo. The end of an era is right. You will be missed TMI. Missed.
It’s sad that TMIT will be leaving your blog, but I can completely understand the need to move on! We still love you AND the blog.

Jessica´s last blog ..Classy In (Insert Your City Here)
I’ve always enjoyed your regular blogs more than your TMI blogs. I’m just sayin’.
SillyJaime´s last blog ..You HAVE to read this.
Haha. I was just wondering the other day how you keep coming up with new TMIs. Like, how do gross things KEEP happening to you?!
TMI Thursday will be missed.
although i am sad i can totally understand how coming up with a TMI would take so much time and effort. as long as there are still crazy cat tales i’ll be okay.
katelin´s last blog ..Some Hollywood cuteness.
Doh, it’s the last one, and I can’t take part! Damn it all to heck!

kate´s last blog ..TMI Thursday – The End of a (Gross) Era
I totally know where you are coming from…blogging shouldn’t be stressful…it should be a fun outlet.
Anyways, I’m not worried. I’m confident that there is still going to be lots of TMI & inappropriateness on this blog (which i love)
Skinny Dip´s last blog ..Ex-Boyfriend Letter #2
Well, it only took me ALL FRIGGIN’ DAY to get my butt in gear and write this, but here is my final (comeback) edition of TMI Thursday… It’s weird, I mean, I haven’t even written one since last October, but I’m really bummed that it’s ending! *sniff* But here’s a suggestion from my husband: He thinks you should pick a month every year and tell people to post ALL their TMI stories that month, and then you can link to them all on one epic day every year. He votes for TMI July because it “kinda rhymes”. Or maybe pick one Thursday a month to do it? Or maybe just DON’T TAKE IT AWAY FROM US, PUH-LEEEZE?
Okay. I’m good. I can do this. (And seriously, I really do think that your decision is admirable and that blogging should totally not be stressful.)
