			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Wow.</p>
<p>So apparently there are a lot of people out there that are offended by either (1) my disdain of Walmart, or (2) somehow talking about my vagina and spastic colon wasn&#8217;t as offensive as complaining about having an eye infection&#8230;</p>
<p>Because I lost more than two-thirds of my subscribers two days ago!!</p>
<p>WHAT THE HELL!?!?!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really hoping that it&#8217;s some sort of Feedburner glitch or <em>somebody</em> might be wallowing in self-pity tomorrow. I&#8217;m not naming names, but there is this one overly-sensitive and emotionally-erratic pregnant chick I know that is going to be crying her pink eyes out tomorrow over some Cold Stone Ice Cream (hear that, Mr. Bee? I&#8217;m still craving. GET MEH SOME ICE CREAM!!).</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2821" style="margin: 10px;" title="You know you wanna..." src="http://www.momtobee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/delurker.jpeg" alt="You know you wanna..." width="240" height="240" /></p>
<p>On a somewhat related note, today apparently is Official DeLurker Day, which means all you tens of people who <em>haven&#8217;t</em> deleted me from your readers should comment on the post tonight and tomorrow telling me, I don&#8217;t know, how totally awesome <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">I am</span> you are and whatnot.</p>
<p>Write whatever you want. What&#8217;s your favorite color/food/sexual position? If you weren&#8217;t doing what you are doing now, what profession do you think you&#8217;d be doing? What&#8217;s your worst phobia? (We don&#8217;t judge here. Fucking clowns.)</p>
<p>Oh, and all you peeps that somehow <em>accidentally</em> managed to delete me from your readers, well, um, COME BACK!! I promise I won&#8217;t ever talk about anything remotely disgusting, inappropriate, or &#8220;colorful&#8221; again.</p>
<p>You know, until tomorrow.</p>
<p><b><i>UPDATED: I just read online that it IS in fact a Google Reader/Feedburner fuck-up that is affecting my stats. I should have my normal 12 subscribers showing on my chart in no time. Phew!</p>
<p>But I think I still need some ice cream&#8230;</i></b></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>On a daily basis, besides my Outlook Calendar and my TiVo Schedule(s), there is one other list that I depend on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/reader">Google Reader</a></p>
<p>Even though it seems personal, I&#8217;ve decided to share my reader list with you, my beloved <strike>strangers</strike> friends.</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GFFGrJufS7g/SXfJFrz452I/AAAAAAAABQ0/cyc19i-uwVU/s1600-h/GoogleBlogList.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GFFGrJufS7g/SXfJFrz452I/AAAAAAAABQ0/cyc19i-uwVU/s400/GoogleBlogList.png" alt="Holy blog list, Batman!" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293920986494199650" border="0" /></a><br />Compared to my 61 Seasons Passes, my list of 33 blogs to read every day seems down right pathetic.</p>
<p>But, to be honest, I&#8217;ve kind of paired down my list a bit recently. I was reading a few blogs that, well, just didn&#8217;t do anything for me. One day, while I was reading a random post, I just realized that (1) I didn&#8217;t have a single thing in common with this person, and (2) I didn&#8217;t really enjoy reading her posts.</p>
<p>It got me thinking: <b>do you (the interwebs) read blogs written by people more or less like yourself?</b></p>
<p>I find my recent ax-ing of blogs interesting because I socialize in real life with people of many different cultures, backgrounds, religions, etc. I also find myself listening to a lot of talk radio (because I&#8217;m now a boring Mom), but I don&#8217;t even listen to liberal radio. I tend to listen to radio hosts that I generally don&#8217;t agree with, because it really gets my brain churning and helps me focus of my own personal arguments and/or opinions on whatever topic they are beating in to the ground that day. <i>(Yeah, take *that* grammar. Mama loves her run-on sentences.)</i></p>
<p>There is just something about reading blog entries on a semi-daily basis that is different. Maybe it&#8217;s because said blogs didn&#8217;t make me laugh. Maybe they didn&#8217;t challenge my own beliefs enough to be interesting to me.</p>
<p>Either way, I feel okay not reading them anymore. Unless they find out&#8230;then I&#8217;ll feel as guilty as hell!</p>
<p>PS: How can I have more followers on Twitter than on my blog?! And sadly, both numbers are not high. Oh, the irony.</p>
<p>Meow meow.</p>
