Where'd that line go?

I had an entirely different post planned for today - which I'm sure will turn up at a later date - but I feel like this took precedence. 

When do you know how much is too much? 

I received a response regarding my concert recap post on Friday - from W!W!'s manager. Complete with a little note from Michael. (If you happen upon this post, too, thanks for the response. I appreciate you guys taking the time to send me a message.)

The seemingly out of no-where response made me think. Who exactly is reading my blog and how are they getting here? I use Google Analytics, but it only tells you so much when it comes to how people find your blog. It doesn't account for the people who e-mail the link or have it saved to their favorites from 100 years ago.

I don't link my blog with my Facebook, and the majority of my friends don't have the link.

I love love love all my great followers, and I appreciate when they let me know their reading. Heck, just being a follower shows me who my readers are, and I like that.

But my followers don't account for the 5400 views since January 1st. They don't account for the 55 countries that have accessed my blog in the last 6 months. United Arab Emirates? Turkey? Three different African countries? I can account for a follower in France & followers that have been on vacation in various countries. And I'm sure when I do link-ups for book reviews that some of the readers are international.

I'll be honest, when I first saw Peru on the Analytics map, I had a slight chill run down my back as I imagined J*ran van der Sl**t reading my blog in a dark, damp room, where he has a trash can that he uses to burn evidence of all the women he's off-ed. (Over-reacting? Never!)

It all leads me to the question, though, how much is too much? Where do you draw the line about how much information you share on your blog? I don't share my exact location, but I'm sure if you tried hard enough, you could figure it out. (Unless you're a follower that I trust, then I might have told you.) Obviously you know what I look like as well as half of my family members and friends. 

The entire blog business freaks my husband out a wee bit. He asked me, "Isn't it weird that so many people can read your blog and you don't know about it?" 

As long as no one is going to stalk me and try to kill me, then no. I love sharing. I like to post pictures and talk about things that matter to me.

To be honest, it's always been in the back of my head that there are lurkers out there. But, I just try to push that to the back of my head and pretend that my followers are the only ones reading.

Obviously I have this blog to document my life for me. I like to look back and see what I was doing a year ago. I obviously can't tell you that I frequent the In-N-Out Burger on 3rd Street on Saturday afternoons. (For the record, we don't have an In-N-Out Burger, nor a 3rd Street. I also don't eat lunch on Saturdays, normally, so all you lurker/stalkers out there, don't get any ideas. :-)) I was under the impression that I wasn't sharing too much information on my blog, but maybe I am. Then again, maybe it's too late?

So, my question for all you readers is How much is too much?

Oh, and Lurkers: Identify yourself. Please and Thanks.
