I think about my blog friends and how pretty their blogs are, and I want that. But I've decided that I am just not willing to spend money on a blog.<br /><br />So, that's me. :)Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294586558617538092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-63857939547327788852010-03-04T14:28:44.933-05:002010-03-04T14:28:44.933-05:00Well, if you ever write a book, I'm a proofrea...Well, if you ever write a book, I'm a proofreader!

By the way the post the other day about your dad was just beautiful, I forwarded it to my husband who has an ongoing existential crisis about "is there anything after death?". As for me, I completely believe there is something. <br /><br />KRaw Food, Real Peoplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02671585627134316557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-87282748648406887682010-03-04T12:33:37.573-05:002010-03-04T12:33:37.573-05:00I don't know, as much as I love your blog, I e...I don't know, as much as I love your blog, I expect that there's an incredible book in you, and I'd love to read that too. Maybe the circling is the sign that it's itching to get out.

(Please?)<br /><br />That said, since having the baby I've felt the need to have things that are more "mine". There's not as much time to just have my own space, my own things, my own clean shirt (my own dirty shirts I now have plenty of). <br /><br />So maybe it's just a little extra time to do something you enjoy as opposed to something you "have" to do that you need. <br /><br />Or a new pair of boots. I feel like boots might do it.KLZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148991868974040605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-53118861826841228712010-03-03T15:40:25.324-05:002010-03-03T15:40:25.324-05:00Yours is one of the few blogs I read on the regula...Yours is one of the few blogs I read on the regular, so please never stop writing.

And I'm always glad to know I'm not alone. The blogging is the best thing for that, I've discovered.<br /><br />Nicole - Ugh, sometimes entire life is like that. I've been there more times that I care to think about.<br /><br />Dagny - It is still fun, and I definitely need the space organized for me. The white page is not really my friend.<br /><br />And I would love love love it if you'd be a beta reader. :)<br /><br />Mb - You know, I mostly read in Google reader as well, and then click to the blogs when I want to comment.

I too am a circler...and feel I often lack direction. So you're definitely not alone. <br /><br />I also read in Google reader and therefore the layout makes not one bit of difference to me since the only time i see the site is when i click through to post a comment. <br /><br />I also think you should do what is fun for you and makes you happy.

I like having a little space already organized for me - the blank slate of a Word document just doesn't do it for me as well. <br /><br />Also, I want to be a beta reader for your memoir. You know.
