I'll admit, I am addicted to blogs. I have subscribed to six in the past week, all having to do with be a frugal granola, nourishing gourmet, sortacrunchy, a passionate homemaker and more. My daily readings, which should be devotionals, are blogs of other women and their lives. For a long time I thought that reality tv was a problem for me, then we canceled cable and I moved on to bigger, better things...I am now addicted to reality blogs. That being said, I don't think it's a bad thing. For one, I am learning to be a better Christian (always reminded in the blogs about spending time with God), better mother (how to control my anger when all I want to do is go berserk), better healthy cook (now I just need to implement soaking grains rather than just reading about it), and a better wife. I have always been a bit extreme, but now I actually found women that are just like me and I don't feel so very crazy for my extremism. I'll admit, I am a passionately devoted christian whose goal is to homeschool my children, eat as naturally as possible and make it look like a cinch. Now after all of this, I long for others (my loved ones and friends) to be able to accept me the way I am...I know it's possible because a few already have.
I guess what I am trying to say in all of this is to not dismiss someone for their passions in life, especially if it is something wonderful they are trying to strive for.
So Webster, add the above as a definition to your dictionary for "Granola-ism" (my loving nickname given to me by my sister :-)
