Bloggers love comments -- if we didn\'t, we\'d be typing away alone at typewriters (uh, if we could find them) or scribbling in notebooks.\r\n\r\nInstead, we\'re posting our words on the internet for the entire world to see and hopefully, react to.\r\n\r\nDespite the stereotype, bloggers are connectors at heart.\r\n\r\nI know that most of you don\'t have blogs, but I\'m willing to bet that most of you are on Facebook. You know that feeling you get when someone \"likes\" pictures from your vacation? That\'s what a blog comment feels like...times 72 (give or take) because your friends on Facebook are, well, your friends. They like you already.\r\n\r\nBut blog readers? They come to be entertained, or perhaps they just find your blog randomly while googling for cookie recipes. They don\'t owe you anything. So when they stumble upon your blog and something you wrote inspires them to let you know a little bit about themselves...well, it makes all the difference in the world.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know if you\'ve heard, but writing can be lonely.\r\n\r\nIn fact, for me it <em>has</em> to be lonely. I make myself forget that other people are going to read my words or I\'ll freeze up. It\'s only after I hit publish that I allow myself to think of who might read my words.\r\n\r\nWhen you let me know a bit about you, it makes me -- and everyone else who is reading -- feel less alone.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Comment11.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4124\" title=\"Comment11\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Comment11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"125\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis is why, when I was asked to highlight one comment or commenter that has made an impact, I couldn\'t think of just one person. I love it when my friends and family leave me a comment, of course, and I\'m eternally grateful for my small band of consistent commenters, but I want to honor what I call the \"unknown commenter\": The person who doesn\'t have a blog and still wants to say connect.\r\n\r\nThey read.

Bloggers love comments -- if we didn\'t, we\'d be typing away alone at typewriters (uh, if we could find them) or scribbling in notebooks.\r\n\r\nInstead, we\'re posting our words on the internet for the entire world to see and hopefully, react to.\r\n\r\nDespite the stereotype, bloggers are connectors at heart.\r\n\r\nI know that most of you don\'t have blogs, but I\'m willing to bet that most of you are on Facebook. You know that feeling you get when someone \"likes\" pictures from your vacation? That\'s what a blog comment feels like...times 72 (give or take) because your friends on Facebook are, well, your friends. They like you already.\r\n\r\nBut blog readers? They come to be entertained, or perhaps they just find your blog randomly while googling for cookie recipes. They don\'t owe you anything. So when they stumble upon your blog and something you wrote inspires them to let you know a little bit about themselves...well, it makes all the difference in the world.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know if you\'ve heard, but writing can be lonely.\r\n\r\nIn fact, for me it <em>has</em> to be lonely. I make myself forget that other people are going to read my words or I\'ll freeze up. It\'s only after I hit publish that I allow myself to think of who might read my words.\r\n\r\nWhen you let me know a bit about you, it makes me -- and everyone else who is reading -- feel less alone.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Comment11.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4124\" title=\"Comment11\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Comment11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"125\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis is why, when I was asked to highlight one comment or commenter that has made an impact, I couldn\'t think of just one person. I love it when my friends and family leave me a comment, of course, and I\'m eternally grateful for my small band of consistent commenters, but I want to honor what I call the \"unknown commenter\": The person who doesn\'t have a blog and still wants to say connect.\r\n\r\nThey read.

You know that feeling you get when someone \"likes\" pictures from your vacation? That\'s what a blog comment feels like...times 72 (give or take) because your friends on Facebook are, well, your friends. They like you already.\r\n\r\nBut blog readers? They come to be entertained, or perhaps they just find your blog randomly while googling for cookie recipes. They don\'t owe you anything. So when they stumble upon your blog and something you wrote inspires them to let you know a little bit about themselves...well, it makes all the difference in the world.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know if you\'ve heard, but writing can be lonely.\r\n\r\nIn fact, for me it <em>has</em> to be lonely. I make myself forget that other people are going to read my words or I\'ll freeze up. It\'s only after I hit publish that I allow myself to think of who might read my words.\r\n\r\nWhen you let me know a bit about you, it makes me -- and everyone else who is reading -- feel less alone.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Comment11.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4124\" title=\"Comment11\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Comment11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"125\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis is why, when I was asked to highlight one comment or commenter that has made an impact, I couldn\'t think of just one person.

I\'m officially too old to check the 18-35 box in forms, which means I\'m not in the most marketable demographic anymore. Tragic!\r\n\r\nI suppose this should make me feel irrelevant, but thankfully that is not the case. What I am is tired!\r\n\r\nI don\'t feel irrelevant at home -- my boys need me more than ever. I\'m not necessarily complaining, they are so much fun! However, if I happen to waste even one afternoon at the DMV our house falls into chaos. I\'m sure the same thing happens at your house, and you probably agree with me that this is ridiculous. The schedule gets thrown for three hours and suddenly there is no food for the children, laundry piles up, the kids get bored and cranky and whiny. It would be flattering, really, except that I feel an intense pressure to never get sick.\r\n\r\nI know it won\'t always be this way, that the kids will someday be more independent, but we are definitely in the thick of it.\r\n\r\n(Speaking of the DMV, here\'s my old license photo from 10 years ago and the new temporary picture. I think look more like myself in the new picture, despite the unfortunate hair going on there. The nice DMV lady gently tried to get me to take another picture, but I told her to just make sure I was registered to vote. \"You are,\" she said. \"Then let\'s do this. I\'ve got to go pick up the kids at school.\" Civic and motherly duties trumped vanity at last. I guess this means I\'m finally growing up. Progress!)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_3288-e1349009578878.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4168\" title=\"IMG_3288\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_3288-e1349009578878.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"171\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAnother place I don\'t feel irrelevant is in my work. I\'m getting to do so many cool things in my role at <a href=\"http://www.swaygroupllc.com/\">Sway</a>, where my Big Fancy Title is Brand Marketing Director (at my advanced age fancy titles are very soothing, so humor me) and I get to shepherd companies big and small into the wild and wonderful world of new media. It\'s fun, and I get to work with some fun people. So that\'s good -- but busy!\r\n\r\nAnd then, there\'s my other work as a blogger. I know I\'ve been quiet around here and at <a href=\"http://frogandsnail.com\">Frog &amp; Snail</a>, but the past few months have been a flurry of busy. Just in the past month I went to New York City to attend the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/sgs/\">Social Good Summit</a> -- much more on that in another post -- and last week I hosted an event for <a href=\"http://blogs.babble.com/babble-voices/the-frog-and-snail-society-page-roxanna-et/2012/09/30/boston-meets-the-levis-challenge/\">Levi\'s on behalf of Babble</a>. That was certainly different from my average Thursday afternoon!\r\n\r\nMy favorite part of the whole thing was being handed a flyer with my picture on it as I walked into the huge Macy\'s at Downtown Crossing. And then, seeing my picture on store signage -- I absolutely dorked out and made someone take a picture of me with the signs. For my mom, of course!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/01-.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4173\" title=\"01-\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/01-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"648\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen I was 16 or even 26* I couldn\'t even fathom what being 36 would be like. Now that I\'m 36, I can say that it is nowhere near as boring as I feared, nor as exciting as I hoped. However, I do get to drink fancy martinis on the regular and laugh and learn and just hang out with amazing people, so it\'s all good.\r\n\r\n<em>*When I was 6 I knew for a fact that I was going to be the next Jane Goodall, but that certainly hasn\'t worked out. Plus Jane is still out there being herself, so there\'s no need for a next one.</em>\r\n\r\nHere\'s to another awesome year -- and thanks for reading for so long. You guys make me accountable. I promise to keep it interesting, if you promise to do the same.\r\n\r\nCheers!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/viewer-1-e1349010584315.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4178\" title=\"viewer-1\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/viewer-1-e1349010584315.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /></a>','All quiet on the blogging front.

It was a time of great joy.\r\n\r\nI knew then that this was an opportunity not to be squandered, so I made it a point to explore the city. I knew that someday I would miss the freedom to indulge in what I loved; once I found a job I missed that lifestyle almost immediately. But I had no regrets, because I spent the time as luxuriously as I wanted. Very few moments were wasted.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things to do was to go to the Museum of Fine Arts with a book and wander the halls until I was tired, find a well-lit gallery, and settle down with my book. It was glorious, and in time the priceless works of art became familiar friends.\r\n\r\nI haven\'t been back to the MFA that often, but last Friday we went back.\r\n\r\nOnce I was done with my traditional Black Friday de-cluttering (<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/11/alternative-black-friday-declutter.html\">it\'s <em>totally</em> a thing, by the way</a>) we gathered up the kids and my mother and hit the MFA. At one point I was standing next to their bronze of Degas\' <a href=\"http://www.mfa.org/explore/send-an-ecard/12387\">Little Dancer Aged Fourteen Years</a> when I noticed the funny juxtaposition of the the famous dancer and the painting of the mooning man behind her (he\'s just drying himself after his bath, but I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old).\r\n\r\nOF COURSE I had to <a href=\"http://instagram.com/p/SYreWlj4rx/\">Instagram it and label it \"artsy fartsy\"</a>. Get it? It\'s so obvious!\r\n\r\nI passed the time while I waited for the docent to leave the Impressionist\'s gallery (so I could furtively take a picture with my camera phone, duh) by reading the description below the sculpture\'s glass case. It basically said that what it says on <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Dancer_of_Fourteen_Years\">Wikipedia</a>:\r\n<blockquote>When the <em>La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans</em> was shown in Paris at the Sixth Impressionist Exhibition of 1881, it received mixed reviews. The majority of critics were shocked by the piece. They compared the dancer to a monkey and an Aztec and referred to her as a \"flower of precocious depravity,\" with a face \"marked by the hateful promise of every vice\" and \"bearing the signs of a profoundly heinous character.\"<span style=\"font-size: 11px;\"> </span>She looked like a medical specimen, they reported, in part because Degas exhibited the sculpture inside a glass case.</blockquote>\r\nThe sculpture was the first and last sculpture Degas ever exhibited. In its original form, a gaudily painted, realistic wax sculpture of one of <em>les petits rats</em> of the Paris Opera -- it was shocking and brutal. It was unique.\r\n\r\nIt was a failure.\r\n\r\nThe<a href=\"http://www.bhartex.com/Degas_The_Little_Dancer__Unknown_First_Version__Hedberg_.pdf\"> wealthy benefactress Mrs. Havemeye</a>r was apparently interested in buying it, but Degas kept telling her the sculpture wasn\'t ready yet -- I think that the criticism he faced after the Exhibit was too much for him. So he kept pushing off Mrs. Havemeyer as he worked on \"fixing\" his masterpiece. When he died, the original wax was in such a bad state due to Degas\' desperate search for acceptance that Mrs. Havemeyer passed on it. It was his heirs that decided to cast it in bronze, and no one knows for sure how many real copies are out there now. What we do know is that the original isn\'t around anymore.\r\n\r\nIt is one of the most beloved and recognizable sculptures in the world, and the creator was ultimately ashamed of it.

It was too much.\n\nI mean, I was sitting mere feet from Susan Rice and Pete Cashmore learning about all the ways that ideas and energy and money and moxie have and can and will change the world.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_3285-e1354047281906.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4296\" title=\"IMG_3285\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_3285-e1354047281906.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /></a>\n\nPretty heady stuff, but also totally overwhelming for an average person like me.\n\nOne of the initiatives we were introduced to was <a href=\"http://givingtuesday.org/\">Giving Tuesday</a>, which is TODAY. The idea is simple, which of course makes it brilliant: After Black Friday and Cyber Monday there\'s Giving Tuesday, the day that kicks off the giving season.\n\nThink about it: The Holidays are about giving, so let\'s celebrate that in the truest way possible. And it is a way that all of us average folks can participate in. All you have to do is give, and I don\'t just mean money.\n\nIn order to give you some ideas, I thought it would make sense to share some of the amazing people and organizations we met at the Social Good Summit.

L-o-l-a Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola.\r\n\r\nShe isn\'t a Christmas puppy, but despite my protestations because a summer puppy makes so much more sense, we got a puppy in the winter. It\'s been, um, really cold.\r\n\r\n*Not really, but let\'s face it: we all know I have it in me. I don\'t even know what\'s so funny about<a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_in_Show_(film)\"><em> Best in Show</em></a>. Great movie.

So I kinda shut down sometime in October.  Eh, I\'m not beating myself up about it or anything, it\'s just the way the year turned out.\r\n\r\nI wanted more and I got it.
