First of all - thank you for the fabulous feedback on whether or not to go shampoo-free. I do believe I am going to try it, but I think it's pretty imperative I get a haircut first.
(Confession: My last haircut was one week before AJ was born. She rolled over the big eight months today. Yes, I should be writing and posting her eight month letter today, but I'm not. I'm an awesome mom like that. And I am not so great with the haircare like that, too.)
Anyway, Sister is coming into town this weekend and will be distracting the girls for a few minutes so I can pop in somewhere and get this dried-out, yucky length cut off. After that, we'll let the experimenting begin!
Okay, but more importantly than that is this - there's been some great discussion on the concept of commenting today. I'm gonna send you two places to read some great insights. It all started with Beth (I Should Be Folding Laundry) sharing her thoughts in On Leaving Comments. My sweet friend and bloggy rock star Megan (FriedOkra) followed up with her thoughts, which I think are equally important for you to hear.
Both of these posts echo what I have been trying to say in various ways to various non-commenting friends and family (ahem, Sister) - you have to search far and wide to find a blogger who is not thrilled by comments. I would go so far as to say that the bloggers who don't want you to comment are the bloggers who have (for various reasons) disabled comments on their blogs. If comments are enabled, Blogga wants to hear from you. Yes, you, non-blogger. Yes, you, reader who is afraid TypePad is just kidding on the comment form about your email only be visible to me and if you do leave a comment then other readers are going to snag your email and start sending you spiritual blackmail chain letters insisting you forward them if you love Jesus. And yes, you, faithful reader who never comments because you are afraid you don't have anything of import to say. Heck, even if you wanna say, "Hi, you're an idiot. You're about to be a greasy-headed idiot" I'll still appreciate it and probably won't delete it because at least you said something!
I do love comments. I try to reply back through email in a timely way. I get behind sometimes and don't follow through the way I would like to, but mostly I really do respond to your comments. Like Beth wrote, comments really are a little payday for me. My pockets are deep, and so is my need for approval (heh). Know that your feedback is always, always welcome here.
