In which case, it&#8217;s my job to remember that I don&#8217;t take this blog all that seriously and to not allow myself to drown my sorrows in cupcakes.<\/p>\n<p>I try to comment on most of the blogs that I read. But, I must admit to often nodding my head in agreement and then closing the browser window. Especially with some of the more popular blogs where I think, &#8220;They already have 172 comments. Do I really have anything all that interesting to say? They probably don&#8217;t even read all of their comments.&#8221; So, if I only leave the occasional comment on your blog, rest assured that I am most\u00a0assuredly\u00a0reading all of your entries. And I&#8217;ll try to leave more comments.<\/p>\n<p>This blog reading stuff is serious business.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you like reading this blog but you never had anything that you wanted to say to me, why not just leave a little comment and say hi. Tomorrow, you can go back to reading in silence and I&#8217;ll go back to assuming that this blog is read by my Mom and a few friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of my Mom, I finally managed to convince her that she should turn comments on at her blog. She&#8217;s working on an upgrade, but I&#8217;ll let y&#8217;all know when it&#8217;s time to head over there and give her some love.<\/p>\n<p>Happy delurking day, y&#8217;all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Happy delurking day everyone!
