walking on air

First, I just want to thank everyone for the incredibly sweet comments on my post yesterday! I'm really excited, yet simultaneously terrified and I know that having you guys here for me when I make the big move will make it much easier! :)

These are by far the most comfortable heels I've ever purchased in my entire life. I couldn't believe how light they were when I put them on! It's seriously like walking on air. Even though I wear heels in most of my photos, I'm much more of a flats girl, just because of the comfort factor. I love being able to run around without being afraid I'll fall and break my nose ;) But these remind me of those giant foam platform flip flops that were popular when I was about 15, only much better looking! I can definitely see myself wearing them every day, all summer long!

Oh, I added a new little feature on my blog called the question of the day. Here's the story behind it: I visit tons of blogs every morning, probably at least 20, sometimes more, but I hardly ever leave comments. (I've written about my commenting paralysis here before) I just can never think of anything to say that doesn't sound redundant or stupid... so I thought, maybe other people have this same dilemma! Enter: Question of the Day! Each day I'll have a fun question at the bottom of my post, so if you want to leave a comment but can't think of a darned thing to say, this should help ;)

Do you want to comment, but have no idea what to say? Trust me, I've been there! So to make things a little easier, here is a question you can answer if you can't think of anything else to say! :)

Do you prefer Peeps, Chocolate or Eggs at Easter? You can also answer "all three" ;)

I don't know why my blog is being such a pain in the neck. First I had complaints that Blogger commenting wouldn't work, so I switched to Disqus.. then that didn't work either. I was able to replicate the problem with Disqus (the comment form just didn't show up at all sometimes) and Disqus didn't reply to my emails asking for help, so I had to switch again. This time I'm using intense debate.

So, could you do me a small favor? Even if you're not a regular commenter, could you just leave one comment today to help me see if it's working? And I'm especially asking this of anyone who had trouble with Blogger or Disqus. I'll be ever so grateful!

If you don't know what to say, just answer this question and I'll know the comment form worked for you: Which is the funnier word -- EGG or WAFFLE?

ps. If you still can't comment at all with Intense Debate, you can let me know on twitter or facebook.

I have a confession to make: My name is Kate and I am a blog stalker :-O

I'm an avid blog reader ... I start each morning perusing my favorite blogs, and I tend to end the day the same way, checking to see if anyone has updated yet. I drool over beautiful dresses, get tips on which movies I should check out and swoon over photos of cute kitties. But I hardly ever leave any comment to show I was there. It's horrible!! When I first started blogging I was like a comment fairy, leaving a trail of comment dust behind me on every blog I visited. But after a while I stopped having anything interesting to say. I'd either end up writing "Great post!" and leaving it at that, or I'd write a ridiculous paragraph about some obscure uninteresting thing that happened to me that wasn't even remotely related to the topic of the post.

"That's so weird! The other day my cat fell asleep in my clean laundry, so I had to wash it all over again. I left it in the dryer overnight, so when my grandmother came over to do her own laundry, she folded mine and put it in a basket on the steps. Wouldn't you know, by the time I woke up there was Chloe.. sleeping in my clean laundry AGAIN! hahaha!!!

Anyway... great post! I'm totally going to try that recipe :D"

I'm just one big major commenting FAIL. But not leaving comments at all isn't any better than leaving stupid ones.. is it? At least my random stories about my cats would prove I was there. To a blog author, a comment is the only real proof that someone read what you wrote or looked at what you posted. Visitor statistics are nice, but it's like counting the UPS man as a house guest. They might have shown up, but presumably they didn't stay for supper.

I'm not even really sure what the point of this post is. I guess I just want to tell everyone who has a blog that I'm probably reading it, even if you've never heard from me. Your blog is AWESOME and funny and heartwarming and beautiful, and I would say all of that every single day on every single post if I didn't feel so gosh darn stupid and tongue-tied leaving comments!
