Hi I'm Susanna, and I'm an Addict

I thought I'd start out this year by admitting something kind of embarrassing. I'm totally addicted to reading blogs. I love checking in on my brother's family or my cousins or my friends or people they know... I love finding people's blogs who I haven't talked to for years. I LOVE hearing the funny things their kids say, or things that they love (or don't love) about their lives. Every once in a while once I've checked in on all the blogs I know and just start clicking down the links on their blogs.

I even like those blogs. I just think it's fun to know what people think about posting for the whole world to read. I feel a little sad (and very aware of my addiction) when I click on a link and you have to be an "invited reader" to view that particular blog.

I don't have an addiction to updating my blog yet... I'm working on that. I thought about giving my Father-in-law a coupon for Christmas promising a new blog entry at least once a week, but I didn't know if I could validate it. So Pops... I'll try okay?

Hi, I'm Gordon and I'm an addict too. I do the same. I start every morning looking at all the family blogs to get updated. Sometimes I check others too, but I usually get a guilty feeling, like I'm a voyer (is that how it's spelled?)Unfortunately most of my family has the same problem updating, including me, but especialy Jason, so when you see him, before he goes back to NC, tell him to update NOW!! And I'll take that coupon any time you want to offer it.

Hi I'm Suvi, I'm an addict too. I have it pretty bad, considering that it was just last night that you told me about your blog, and here I am checking it the next day. Um, I like you guys and will probably become a regular blog stalker, if that's okay with you.

I'm glad that someone else has the same addiction. Do you ever feel like your spying and that you hope no one finds out you were looking at there blog because you really don't want them looking at yours?

Have you read my blog? didn't think so. You better nourish that addiction and read about all things irie.

Me too! In fact that's exactly how I came across yours, by looking at a friend's who had a girl I remember going to girls camp with and she had the blog of a friend from high school that I went to seminary with. And i know GK from way back in to the youth dances days....anyhow. You adventures seem fabulous, and your writing is captivating. Keep it up and feel free to pop on over to my place antime. And tell GK Shay says Hi. It may take him a minute...!!!
