I have no idea who reads this blog. Some of my friends say they read religiously; others don’t read at all.  Some (men) tell me they’re “closet readers.”  Come ON guys!  It’s not like I write about things like my favorite brand of tampon all the time (but if you must know, I think that in the tampon department, girls tend to stick to the brand they were raised on- and for me, that would be Tampax).  Guys, reading my blog is not as bad as being seen going to see Sex in the City by yourself, I swear.

So yeah.  Aside from the friends I know who read often and the others who comment, I’m not sure who else reads my crap.  I do know that I get really good readership, according to blog statistics; so for that, I’m grateful.  Thanks for reading!  Honestly, that’s what keeps me going.  I thought I’d quit after the Shopping Diet was over, but I have so much more to say, and as long as people are reading what I have to write- I feel as if I have a purpose here.  And if one person explores the Christian faith, rescues an animal, or assists another human being because of anything I’ve written, then I’ve done some good.   That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?  Promoting change for the good of humanity?  Yeah, well, okay.  So that’s only part of it.  It’s also a forum where I can get things off my chest because honestly, there’s no one I call on a daily basis to vent--- and everyone needs to vent.  Of course, if there’s something major going on, I’ll reach out to my friends for support, but I don’t like to call my friends and whine and complain about the mundane frustrations of daily living.  That’s where you all come in.  Therapy, remember?  So cheers, and thanks for being there and for listening.  So you know what to expect next, don’t you?  A MAJOR RANT! HA!
