Blog Comment Frenzy

I have been on a roll today, or I guess it's yesterday seeings how its almost 2 in the morning, but anyhoo.. Not only did I complete the Blog Comment Day challenge of commenting on 5 blogs, 2 of which I've never read before, But I have commented on any one, who's in my blogs I read section, that made a post today. Some of them I will comment on often, others I just sit back and read, so YEAH me for stepping up to the plate today (or rather yesterday) and making comments!

On Another note,

Sandy, over at For the Love of Prims, was feeling very generous after receiving some awards. She passed them on to everyone, so I grabbed me a couple, and in turn am passing them on to everyone as well.

The Marie Antoinette award

The Uber Amazing Blog award

So please, grab them while there hot,

Post them to your blog,

and as always,

Enjoy!

Christmas Decorating

I finally found my motivation to put up my Christmas decorations..

I had been waiting for my husband to crawl up into the scary, dark attic get the tree down for me. Guess who had to go and get it? Yup that's right, ME. I finally realized Christmas would be over by the time my husband did it for me, so I found my motivation in the encouraging words that Sandy, Lisa, and Anna left on my Laziness post.

Did I mention it was dark and scary?

Plus the last time I was in an attic, I fell through.. Yup. Okay, so I didn't fall all the way through. I got caught on a wire, but still, it was scary!

So, I get the tree, and well, go figure its a two man job. I had to drop the tree from the top of the attic stairs. Luckily its just a tree and not breakable..

So my tree is now up and fully decorated.

As you can see there is a train going around my tree. My husband is a big train fanatic. When we saw this tree train last year at Lowe's, we just had to buy it.

I put up our stockings, in a temporary spot. My husband is going to build me a mantel.

Once the mantel is built I can place our stockings on it, along with other Christmas decoration goodies.

As soon as I'm done decorating I will post more pictures.

Blog Comment Day

People blog for all kinds of different reasons. Some blog to get their thoughts out in a public diary; others blog to share their expertise with others; many more blog for a dozen other reasons.
I blog for the interaction, learning, and friendship that comes from putting my heart and mind out in public and the privilege of people responding through comments.

Though there may be 100 reasons why people blog, I've yet to meet a blogger who doesn't appreciate comments. For this reason I'm starting Blog Comment Day on December 3, 2008. Here's how it works:

On December 3, 2008 you will leave one comment on at least 5 different blogs.
Out of the 5 blogs you comment on, at least 2 of them will be blogs you haven't commented on previously.

That's it. Simple, right?

Where to from here?

I love the holidays and decorating for the holidays, but I can't seem to get the motivation to get up off my butt to do any decorating.. The only decorating i have done so far, is my blog..
