There is a blog that I follow devoutly. I check every other day for new entries and cease all work until I’m up-to-date on what A Bougeois Existence has posted. Her name is Maria; She is a 24-year old woman of south Texas who writes dirty novels for money. I know what a great gig, huh! Since I read often, I am emotionally attached to this stranger via her blog. I know about her family life, her medical troubles and her work. Well. . . I know as much as she wants her readers to know, but it’s enough for me and I've become INVESTED. Maria has blogged that she suffers from an ovarian condition that is preventing her from becoming pregnant. Well guess what?
Today, while drinking my morning coffee, I read that Maria is pregnant! I nearly screamed out load. My eyes teared up and held my breath while I read the entire entry. Immediately afterward, I felt guilty for being so exciting. I don’t even know Maria DirtyWriter. How sad am I that reading about her pregnancy brought me so much joy? I tried to rationalize my excitement. It’s the same as crying for a sad book or laughing at a sitcom on TV, right?
Ultimately, I decided that I don’t care what this says about me. As a mater of fact it just says that I am a truly caring person. I am so happy for you Maria DirtyWriter!

OMG, Til! I love Maria, she's so darn smart! And, I too, got teary eyed, believe it or not, so don't fret my friend. I'm invested in all the blogs I read, even if it may be a little weird. LOL
Ok, so now I am dying to read this girls blog! I thought I was the only one who followed other blogs... I *heart* keeping up with a couple blogs in particular! Kinda made me feel a little stalkerish, lol!
