Hmmmm... that's an individual call. ;)<BR/><BR/>Once, I check out the book you returned. In fact, not too long ago. It's a good book and a couple of the recipes looked yummy. But I think the book is great for people that may be at home all day. And there are some good tips that you might be able to use. <BR/><BR/>However, I think that your crockpot is a more sound idea. I am hoping to use mine much more this year. <BR/><BR/>And the 'kid in me' weekend. Fabulous! I really could use one of those.

If you can't, I wouldn't do it. It's not worth it. My blog is anonymous to everyone but I did let a few people close to me in on it - such as my parents, my grandmother, my cousin, and a few close friends. But even that has caused a few problems. First, my mom (probably trying to be helpful) gave the address to a bunch of her friends and our extended family. But recently, my mom was not happy that I posted some personal information under "the 2008 results." She didn't think it was appropriate to reveal that kind of info. (I posted the dollar amount of debt we'd paid off this year and revealed that we've been debt free since the summer.) I think she thinks it is shameful to have debt and both my parents come from families where money is NEVER talked about (I will never know how much my dad makes nor what political party he votes for). It makes me realize that not everyone is going to be supportive and people who know you may judge you. I wouldn't sacrifice my anonymity for some extra visitors... you don't want to feel judged and a part of me wishes now that I kept mine 100% anonymous.Saver Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771358513167838528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-20607499939537266532009-01-07T15:46:00.000+00:002009-01-07T15:46:00.000+00:00Am I the only one who hasn't changed the look of m...Am I the only one who hasn't changed the look of my blog lately?!
