Does anyone still read blogs? I ask because I was thinking, I have a years' worth of stories, recipes and crazy antics that someone might enjoy reading. But my daughter, who started me blogging almost exactly three years ago (see my first post ever!) said, "Mom, blogs are like fashion. And right now, they are out of style. Besides, all of your friends already know all of your stories."
That's what I get for asking her, and for having my office in the middle of our family room.
I visited my personal trainer today and asked her if she'd read my blog. She didn't know what a blog was, but since she's heard a lot of my stories, and she pretends to find them hilarious, she said her fiance might like to read my blog. Then she started me on a series of moves so strenuous I couldn't speak for the remainder of the session. I didn't take it personally. That's what I pay her to do.
Last, I asked my husband if he still reads blogs. He said yes, he reads about eight blogs every day. All political. What he meant was, "I don't have time for frou-frou blogs about other people's lives, except for people who agree with my political POV." I know this because we've been married for over 20 years, and I can now read his mind. I also don't always agree with his political POV, so I'm guessing he won't read my blog, either.
So, the future of "It's a Simply Delicious Life" hangs in the balance. What are your thoughts?

OK, well, I found your blog on my dashboard, but I don't get updates. Now, I think you should STAY!! I love blog reading and yours would be a FABULOUS start to my day! I just put your blog up on my sidebar! So get posting!! But take off your word verification. No one uses them anymore, especially if you have comment moderation. xoxoxo
