All my life I have thought myself a true, unique individual. For example my parents have given me a unique name-Cherish. I haven't ran into any other Cherish's in my life (30 whole years!). However a lot of people that I meet say "I know a Cherish, or I went to high school with a Cherish" Where are all these Cherishs? There is even one in my stake (supposedly) I haven't met her yet. Intresting. I also made it a point in high school to "be weird" I wore the retro clothes before they were cool and felt it my personal mission to include all misfits. However I have come to the conclusion that I am not so unique I am actually a big follower!
For example although I claim not to have enough time to watch T.V. I am a major Lost, 24, Prison Break and Office fan! (Thank Heavens for DVR!) I used to be a big American Idol fan, but who can I fit it in any more? I see you all nodding with me. (That was a funny moment actually imagining that anyone will read this :))
Here is my latest followerness. I made a mental note not to make any weightloss resolutions. Yet I went the Weight Watchers website and checked out their meeting schedules. In all my other years of making resolutions for weight loss I haven't done much, but when I actually decide not to make goals for it, I actually take action. Am I my own devil's advocate? But here is the kicker. There is no registration fee in January for all of us non-weight loss resolutioners! I am followng the weight loss crowd right into the meetings, and paying someone to tell me to eat less and excercise more! It will work this time, I know it!
I am not sure why I need them, I already have my own weight-loss solution. I get on the scale and if the weight is too much, I get off and turn the little knob a few pounds below the zero, then get back on and feel so much better! (Another thing we all do!)
So here I am following all of you, following all of them doing the blog craze!
It is nice to fit in.

Awesome post Cher-dawg. I laughed out loud a few times! Seriously!
Ok I wish I had a dial on my scale so I could do that. That way I could always tell myself I was making serious progress.
And I don't think you are a follower. I think you are a leader - I look up to you anyways!
And Bless the DVR. I love it.
Sometimes I also think of it as my to -do list though. If you think of it that way you don't feel so bad. Because you can sit there for a couple of hours at a time and watch stuff and then delete it and you feel like you are crossing stuff off a list which can also feel like accomplishment.
It's awesome.
