Taking the plunge

I suppose it's not a "plunge," per se, but I've decided to make our blog private.  I haven't been wanting to do it because I know there are a lot of people out there who like to blog-surf (me, included).  I hate stumbling upon blogs of people I know, but I can't read them because they're private, and then there's no way to contact them to get invited to their blog (I wish blogger would fix that, by the way!).  However, I've noticed a lot of odd traffic to my site and with three young girls and a lot of sick people in this world, I can't put my family at risk.  So please please PLEASE send me your email if you want me to send you an invite to read my blog...even if you barely know me or don't want to admit that you read it.  :)  Facebook works, or you can email me at lornadoone617 at yahoo dot com.
