I’ve just done something reckless and terrifying.

I zeroed out my Google Reader.

There were approximately 300 posts waiting to be read. This is NOT an exaggeration. I subscribe to over a hundred blogs, and each one had posted an average of three times since I last went through it. You can blame the pile-up on my Great Blog Crash Disaster of last week and then being gone for much of this week.

I tried to catch up. Really I did. I made GREAT EFFORTS. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

FORTUNATELY, almost every single post was about either Harry Potter or BlogHer. So, basically, they were all disposable.

(Yup, that may be the most controversial thing I’ve ever said on my blog. It’s not that I don’t wish I were at BlogHer, it’s just that I probably won’t go until they ask me to be a keynote speaker and they pay me thousands of dollars for it. So, you know, next year–around the time I take over the world with my blog. As for Harry Potter… yeah. This is where it gets controversial. I have not read and never intend to read a Harry Potter book. I will say no more. Well, there’s not really more to say. I just have ZERO INTEREST in it. I know. You’re going to stone me. Go ahead. I lived in Jerusalem–stoning is not unfamiliar to me.)

That said, though, I know that I have missed some true treasures and hopefully I’ll still see them as I make my future rounds through Bloglandia. Still, though, I’m feeling SO LIBERATED. Whew!

Nothing like biting off a few more blogs than I can chew, huh? I try to be such an over-achiever… and it really doesn’t ever work out for me!
