Comment on Zen and the Art of Snow Shoveling by Casey

I also love shoveling. I like to put my ipod headphones on and listen to music very loudly. It’s my own odd type of zen. Love that picture. It looks very satisfying.

Loved this. Seriously, beautiful. Even though I would rather die than shovel.

Ok, looking at the photos, they all show folks with their bangs back/hidden/nonexistent, but you CAN let the fabric scrunch a little more/wear it back a tiny bit farther and let bangs/front hair show if you want. I wear them both ways.

My friend Nicole from college makes & sells headband – the stretchy fabric kind. I’ve got a few and LOVE them, both for running (I CAN’T STAND having hair in my face when I exercise) and for everyday. She’s got a variety of prints, including some funky ones I think you’d like. She’s in Chaska, so I don’t think it’d take long to get them!

Comment on Et tu bloge’? by Neil

The time is certainly a big thing, but back before social media became big, blogging was the only way to express yourself online. Now it is way easier to spit out a tweet or a status update. And the sad part is that it is easier to get others to respond and care about what you say in these mini forms of expression. So, why keep on blogging? No answer for you. If you want to keep a diary, why not keep a diary? If you want to write professionally, makes more sense nowadays to either write a book, or try to get on staff at something like Babble or Huffington Post. I’ve been blogging for eight years, so I know a lot of people already, so I continue. But if I were a new blogger, I would think it would be very tough to find your peers nowadays unless you branded yourself completely.

Remember me? Yeah, the one who had a second baby and disappeared off the face of the blogosphere. I totally get where you’re coming from. I can’t find time to get a haircut or dress in anything but jeans (I’m sure my coworkers think I’m a complete slob these days), let alone blog. But I miss the sense of community that comes with it, and I miss the act of written expression (because let’s face it, writing hundreds of pages of functional and technical requirements specification documents weekly just doesn’t cut it on the expression front). I think you should keep it up, because even though I rarely comment on anything anymore I want to tell you that I do stop by regularly and your musings are a bright ray of sunshine in my overly-complicated, stressed out, too busy days.

Comment on Sticker Charts for Adults by MsHuisHerself

I have a sticker chart. No, seriously. The girls had weekly ones this summer for their jobs (get ready in the am, different 5 min clean room job daily, etc.) & so I did one for me so they could see that _I_ have jobs that need doing, too. Well, now it’s the school year & their charts are monthly ones (1 job/day) but mine is still going. Clip art is your friend, I tell you! Also, realistic expectations about how much you can actually get done in a day.

I think Swistle’s insane (but under the radar!) popularity is a pretty good indication that the branding has not totally won It’s just a different niche of bloggers, but they exist!
