The other day, my wife and I were walking around the mall. One of the stores had a big display for jeggings. What are those? Well, imagine if a pair of jeans and a pair of leggings got married, listened to a lot of 80s band “Color Me Badd” and then had a baby. That baby would be named “Jeggings.”

I told my wife, “Oh jeez, jeggings. Please don’t ever get those.”

She looked at me, and immediately said, “Jeggings? I’m wearing those right now.”

I cried in the Chicago Airport.

And these were not tough guy, lumberjack, I just punched a mountain lion in the face with my bare fist kind of tears. These were sad and tired and give up tears.

In the last few days, I’ve had a few hundred people take me up on my offer to help them with their blogs. I’m looking forward to talking to or emailing with everyone about ways to expand their blogs. (What role does “rhythm” play in blogging, how do you generate new ideas, how do you start conversations, etc.)

Today’s the last day you can get in on that. Here’s how:

1. Buy a copy of my new book for $10. Click here to order it.

2. Email me your URL.

3. Connect with me about your blog.

It’s that simple and as we wind down our “12 Days of Fantasticalness,” hopefully you will have a chance to take part. (We’ll do something like this for international folks when the book is on Amazon!)

Thanks for making these last two weeks so fun.

Here are the rules and legal language and what not.
