Taking some great advice.

Just thought you'd all like to know that I've got 242 unread blog posts in my reader.

Nice, huh?

I've been out enjoying the last days of summer, working (gasp!), grocery shopping, cooking, spending time with family, enjoying my new washer and dryer (watch for more info on this one!)watching Gossip Girl and the new 90210, and everything else under the glorious sun.

Everything except keeping up with my friends here in Bloggeritaville.

If you haven't heard from me in a while, rest assured, I'm just fine.

And I may have even read one of your recent posts (I would just love it if I could reply directly from Google Reader! Could we start a petition? Of course, I guess that would detract from the whole idea of visiting a blog to see what else is on it . . .)

I'll be by to visit you just as soon as I can with a comment.

Know what? I do not feel one iota of guilt about my overflowing reader.

Wanna know why?

Although I can't follow her advice of hitting the "mark all as read" button, a wise woman named Dr. McMommy directed me here: http://blogguiltfree.org/

Since McMommy is the Oprah of Bloggywood (read: everything she touches turns to gold), I took her advice and headed on over.

The philosophy is great and I hopped on that bandwagon faster than the MH can spill her drink all over my kitchen floor (read: lighting speed) - I even put the Blog Guilt Free button right here on my blog.

So that's it my friends. I'm guessing many of you have overflowing readers, what with soaking up the last days of summer and getting back into the reality of day to day life with kids in school.

Follow the advice of the wise doctor (and me) - I promise, you'll feel a lot better.

And that, friends, ends today's Public Service Announcement.

Carry on. Guilt free, of course.
