43 Things (Thing #16)

I love this entire series about social tagging. I just love it. 43 Things is cool, but I am not sure if I would want to share my entire list with everyone. When I began Weight Watchers in November, I really didn’t want anyone to know (in case I failed) As I began to lose weight, I realized that I didn’t mind people knowing that I was losing weight. The fear of failing kept me from wanting to share my goal. As I began to share this goal with others, I began to see that many people had the same goals. I know at least three people who have started to change their eating habits because I shared my story with them. It may not seem like a lot, but it is very empowering for me. In addition, we have continued to support each other and keep each other committed to our goals. I wonder if 43 Things would work like this or if it would seem to impersonal. Since I love lists, I am going to give it a try, if I can remember my password and id. Is there a website for that?????

Library Thing (Thing #15)

Coolness. Library Thing is so very cool. I love being led to sites that allow me to feed my burning desire to create and maintain lists! The other thing I love is that I can get suggestions of books to read based on what I already know I like. I love this for the possibilities of finding great read alouds for my class. I also really appreciate that there is nothing for sale. How refreshing. This is a wonderful site.
