Jason? Psh, I was hoping Kim would come through to represent K&J. Haha, kidding of course – thanks for coming by J, and let me say again that I love what you guys are doing over at your blog – a positive message and it’s clear that you two are having fun doing it (that’s MOST important). I can’t say that I’ve tried the dessert first maneuver, but I can only imagine how heads would roll if I dared to pull that one.

Be in touch! Looking forward to more from K&J!

I liked “God Mode Mindset.” It is a terrifically strong piece that discsses the “Rules That Don’t Exist,” which is one of my favorite topics. We do so many things almost subconciously, just because it’s what “everybody” does. One of my favorite rules that don’t exist is “You can’t eat dessert first.”

Try doing it at a restaurant and the waiter or waitress’s head might explode.

Thanks Srinivas – glad you like what you see so far. I’m looking forward to taking some time to sit down and chat with you about the past, present, and future of Life Without Pants. Should be a great discussion. Here’s to the future success for both of us!

Thanks Kelli – and welcome aboard this crazy train of awesomeness! Going back and reading everything I was going through during my engagement, quitting my job, moving here, looking for work in Chicago – it really put things into perspective for me. I think the best part of a blog is it really acts to establish your legacy. Assuming the internet doesn’t go anywhere anytime soon – I’ll be able to look back at this years later and reflect on everything that’s happened. That’s the real value of continuing to write day in and day out.

Thanks Jen – If you get to know me better you know that I am a little OCD about organization, planning, to-do lists, the works. But like you said, and like I said a few months ago – sometimes the best plan is not having one. You have to know when to let go of the reigns.

You know I’m looking forward to whatever you have in store for 2010. I have no doubt at all that it will be amazing. And, if you need any help getting the ball rolling on your new blog schemes, you know where to find me.

Thank you Emily – happy to have you hear and I hope you’ll stick around This was an eye opening experience, even for me, to go back and look at these posts and others – read through the comments – see how my perspective and overall voice has changed in such a short period of time – it’s pretty incredible to think that I was NOWHERE NEAR the same place in my life a year ago as I am right now. New city, new friends, soon to be married, not to mention this blog didn’t even exist, it wasn’t even a though in my head last December. If I needed something to tell me that I’ve accomplished a lot (because sometimes we lose track of that) this was it.

Thank you again for coming by – happy holidays, and please do keep in touch!

I’m afraid I haven’t been as successful at blogging as you- I’m clearly going through a dry spell! But two of my favorite posts are: “Really, Scott Baio, Really?!” http://www.sheemasiddiqi.com/?p=504 and “Suffering from the Chandler Bing Syndrome.” http://www.sheemasiddiqi.com/?p=206
