I'm taking the leap!
One of the biggest days of my life is quickly approaching. Part of me is very excited, anticipating how different my life will become... and yet part of me is horrified.
Yes, that's right. I knew you'd guess it: I'm letting my People mag subscription run out.
Go ahead and call me crazy. I bet you don't even believe I'll go through with it. But I am. I SO am. I'm ready now. I feel strong.
In fact, just yesterday, I received my "FINAL NOTICE - WE WILL NOT SEND YOU ANOTHER!" envelope in the mail. It was the last of about 10 such notices mailed to me since last summer, reminding me to renew my subscription before it ran out in mid-December. And you know what I did? I didn't even open it. I tore it in half, then chucked it. I walked by the garbage bin at least 6 more times yesterday evening, and not once did I dive in to retrieve it... even if only to touch it.
It's going to be hard, I know. But I can do it. I'll be needing some support, that's true. I've looked everywhere in my area, and there doesn't seem to be a People Magazine Quitters support group anywhere. Can you believe that?
I'm due to receive 2-3 more issues, and then that's it. Thank god I'll have the holidays to keep me busy and focused on other things!
So if I ask you to let me borrow your magazine, or for you to read me one of the articles, or to ask me just one of the questions from the entertainment crossword puzzle, just say no... and be firm about it. I mean it... I'm gonna need some tough love.
Thanks for standing by me. I appreciate it.

why would anyone DO such a crazy thing?!
I know!
But seriously... I could no longer justify paying $150 a year to read stuff in print that I had already read online 2 weeks before.
that is the only explanation that i can condone as acceptable.
but you can't read online on the can. just sayin'.
True, true.
But that's what Sudoku is for.
ah so!
You're a brave Berry. I support you. Plus they don't have pics of Britney's bidness do they?
I can understand because I was addicted to the stupid gossip blogs...Now I try to only look at Lainey's and that's been helping.
Of course I still occasionally look at the other ones, but lately all they've been showing is Britney's flaps, and I had to try and stop the bleeding in my eyes...
