Christine talked about this book way back at the end of May. I finally ordered it, and the German post system being what it is, it was promptly delivered exactly when they said it would be - 2 days later. Small country and all...
I started reading it last night but only made it halfway through the first chapter before I fell asleep. This morning when I woke up, I decided to downsize something that takes a lot of my time - reading blogs.
I looked at my Google Reader and saw that I was subscribed to 89 blogs. Oy and vey. Granted, some of them haven't posted in over a year but trust me, I had a few on there that more than made up for it. (I'm talking to you, Perez Hilton!) I decided that I would try to cut the number in half.
So I started going through them. Do I read them because I gain something from them? Do they teach me something? Make me laugh? Make me think? What do they do for me??
Some I kept because they are my own blogs. (I like to see how the posts look in a reader. Dork, I know.)
Some I kept because they teach me something.
Some I kept because I like food porn.
Some, I kept because I am totally jealous and like to daydream that I live there, in that time period.
Some I kept because they make me laugh.
Well, you get the point.
So after I was done, I ended up with 24. If all I get from this book is the time not reading the rest of the blogs saves me, then I say I got my moneys worth!

Awww Shucks! Thanks for keeping me on your list! And you are right. that funny blog is Hysterical!
wow, that's quite the clean up!!! Must feel good. How long will it take to add more new ones? I never feel like I can reach the end of the Internet or read all the available blogs.
Of course I had to keep you, Christine! I need to live vicariously through you and it is much easier to read the blog than to constantly ask you questions at SF. :D
I found "June" way back when her blog was Bye Bye, Buy because she was doing The Compact. She is too funny not to read!
I added one new blog last night - one that I *thought* I had subscribed to but because there were so many, I never realized that I wasn't reading it daily! (http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/)
Other than that, I am not going to add too many more. I think I will cap it at 30, and then have the 1 in, 1 out rule.
so true about never reaching the end. That's ok, though. I need to stop reading about other peoples lives and live mine. lol
I appreciate you keeping me, too! And I like that person who said I was hysterical. Also, now I kind of want nuts. In a nutshell.
